"When you order a portion of these dense and satisfying grits, one of the ladies behind the counter will ask if you want butter. Yes, please. It is ladled on in abundance. In the background is a portion of rugged, full-flavored country ham."

Utensils seem pretty useless, so I used my fingers and went through about a dozen paper napkins. On the side is a serving of fried potatoes and onions."
