Hot Dish Review

Here’s an ironic post….me telling you to go get some grits! Historically, not my favorite food. In fact, although I grew up in Tennessee (honey, I mean in the woods!) I never tried grits until me and my Mom got them at Denny’s in Palm Springs, of all places. They came with our breakfasts of eggs, bacon, and toast, we didn’t order them intentionally. Once faced with the shallow bowl of white-ish mush we didn’t know what to do with them….should they be salty, sweet?

We decided to melt a little butter on them and sprinkle with sugar. No flavor was detected (other than the butter and sugar). Experiment fail.

Rather than a flavor-packed grain, grits are merely a vehicle for flavor. At restaurants like Rathbun’s and Dogwood that vehicle is a Mercedes, unlike the ’76 Pinto at Denny’s.

Dogwood’s grits are so creamy and delicious! Made with Red Mule yellow stone ground grits from Athens, GA, they offer them with several topping options that change seasonally including choices like Brunswick stew, crawfish butter, or pimento cheese, to name a few.

I have a coupon to try some for free but I can’t seem to attach it! If you want the coupon just comment on this post and I will email it to you!
