28. Cheesy grits, no. Cheesy eggs, si.

Along with a side of bacon, orange juice, toast with apple butter (on request), a cup of the World's Best Coffee (tm), and some scattered, smothered, covered, peppered, squeezed, tossed, dropped, scraped, pounded, beaten, and humiliated hash browns.

Grits, just butter and pepper and salt. Then you can wait for them to solidify a little while you're eating your cheesy eggs, etc. so you can cut them into little grit-blocks and build castles in your plate. Betcha Willard never thought of THAT, elitist dork that he is!

(I've probably spent way too much time at Waffle Houses in my life. Does it show? )
