Yes, I had a
As the story goes, we were planning on meeting friends for breakfast at CB the morning after a concert. All I could think about was Shrimp and grits, for they (CB) made me love them. MADE ME.
That morning I was told every so
I was as peeved as a one handed woman paying full price for a manicure.
SO, as a revenge to CB I made them myself.
And they rocked.
Who's sorry now Mr/Mrs Cracker Barrel?

On our vacation last week I again had a hankering for shrimp and grits and did I ever get my fill...
I nibbled on shrimp and grits in Orlando.
I devoured shrimp and grits in Charleston.
I slurped enjoyed shrimp and grits in Savannah.
I could eat them on a boat, I could eat them while I float.
I could eat them on vacation, I could eat them on a satellite station.
I could eat them on vacation, I could eat them on a satellite station.
Ok, a poet I am NOT. But a shrimp and grit eater, I AM.
Shrimp fear me.
Grits run when I name is mentioned.
yah, runny grits. ewww.
While I'm sure the shrimp and grits you had on your trip were delicious, I think yours look best of all. I know I would surely eat them.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I'll take my shrimp sans grits, please. (I know, how can you be a true Southerner and NOT like grits?)
ReplyDeleteit was only last summer in charleston that I found that I LOVE THEM! I wish I had believed you before...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post- I love grits-but just plain with butter, salt and pepper. Must be grits week-this is the third grits post I have seen this week!;>) xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI have a bone to pick with you! Now that you brought up the whole BBQ/grill debate (okay, let me stand corrected--I realize it's not a DEBATE, per se, it's more of a real issue!), I am hearing all of my fellow Californians talking about BBQing things, and, "Come over and BBQ," etc. etc.!!! It is almost like nails on a chalkboard and yet it still feels so very RIGHT to me! Aaaaaackkk! As my kids like to jokingly tell me, "YOU HAVE RUINED MY LIFE!"
ReplyDeleteLove, BBQ Sus
Oh My... You put Cracker Barrel to shame. The ones you made look awesome...Too bad for Cracker Barrel. When are you opening your restaurant????
ReplyDeleteAs a southern girl, I have NEVER liked grits.. Shame on me.. Right??? I'm not crazy about RICE either... BUT--I love SHRIMP--especially FRIED.... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
Oh my, they all look sooo yummy. See what you've done, now I'm hungry... ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou are related to Dr. Seuss - - - - makes sense if your name is Suz . . .
ReplyDeleteIf I come to your house or go out to eat with you - - ever - - PLEASE do NOT cook or order that for me. I don't like either shrimp or grits. I would not eat them in my socks. I would not eat them with a fox! However, I am really happy that you love and loved them! You deserve that treat.
John would love shrimp and grits! We tease each other and ask, "how many grits in a serving???" LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm sure yours were the healthiest ones in the post! : ) You, my friend, can have my portion of shrimp and grits if it ever comes to that. Not. My. Thing. But you go girl! : )
ReplyDeleteI'll take shrimp & grits...but hold the grits! (YUCK!) CH has his suspicions that I'm really not southern! :)
ReplyDeleteI love shrimp and grits. I'm pretty sure I ate them every day the last time we were in charleston.
ReplyDeleteYou've been reading too much Dr. Seuss. The food looks good!
ReplyDeleteWe eat them pretty frequently around here. I don't like tomato based ones, but the butter based? I could eat them until the cows come home.
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
I never tried them. I did have some to die for shrimp this week at everybody's favorite seafood restaurant.
ReplyDeleteI know you wish you could be a jet setter like me and hit up the Purple Crab with Naji, Bria, Jonny and Kaish in tow, dontcha?
