Shrimp n grits

Having lived in Charleston, Owner of Olde Charleston Pasta in the 80's, I am missing the flavor of real grits, (now I live near NYC...)and I miss the real thing. Shrimp n grits is what I crave, any suggestions??? (up here in Yankee land of course!)

So do you make pasta in the north now?

My Charleston connections rave about the S+G at SNOBS (Slightly North of Broad) and Magnolias, right across the street (East Bay). A long way from NYC, but so delicious!

Crook's Corner - Chapel Hill (actually Carboro) makes a wonderful "shrimp and grits" dinner.

We're slowly moving north....

I believe that Crooks Corner in Chapel Hill still serves a delicious rendition of shrimp and grits - I really loved them there a couple of years ago. The late Bill Neal, who used to run Crook's Corner also published a recipe for them in one of his cookbooks. As I recall the dish, its much as you describe. Not very complicated, but just wonderful. I think that I will now pull out my recipe and give it a try.

Ive never seen this dish in NYC. Maybe someone will be inspired.....

Funny you mention Bill Neal, I met him years back through my employer, Joann Yaeger of the Primerose House in Charleston, South Carolina. Bill and Joann went way back, and I own a signed copy of Bill's Spoonbread cookbook. We should all learn from his unique touch of Southern to Whole foods. I miss cooking in the Southern fashion as I lived in Charleston and learned the Southern way from Martha Lou of Martha Lou's Kitchen on Morrison Drive.
I want a fried whiting sandwich on white right about now, or a fried pork chop or two.
Cheers!
