Grits in the morning is just butter. And you had better salt it while it's cooking or it's just no good. These grits are for sopping up the yoke of your overeasy...cooked in bacon fat...eggs. Three for me please.

Cheese Grits are what you eat at a Mullet Fry with your Beer-battered Hush Puppies and Cole Slaw.

And you don't fucking "learn" to like grits. You like 'em or you don't. If you don't, you're not from around here.

Clear enough?
