There's a secret?
Grits were invented by poor people in the south to stretch the limited amount of food. One egg is not a meal. But one egg and a bowl of grits is a meal. I make a shrimp & grits dish that is absolutely delicious. Even to those who grew up outside the South.
Never had it.
If you ever get to New Orleans (which I highly recommend) it is fairly easy to find on menus all over the city.
Would love to go there.
I don't know how much extended family you have that you spend Thanksgiving or Xmas with, but if you ever find yourself free on either of those holidays, let me know. There is a little bar at the edge of the French Quarter that does a potluck dinner on those days. It is mainly locals, so the food is amazing. If you bring a dish you eat for free. You will NOT lose weight on the trip. Probably won't help your liver either.
Don't need to lose weight, darling.
I'd also like to visit Quebec.
And I've been all around Atlanta, where it seems you are based.
