Truck stop showersI’ve eaten shrimp and grits many places and can’t remember ever seeing jeans like that. What kind of places do you hang out at?

I'm from the south and I don't really care for grits. Hope I don't have to turn in my southerner card
There’s an Irish pub in Charleston called Tommy Condon’s that has surprisingly good Shrimp and Grits; weird for an Irish joint to be sure. I’ve been there many times, but so far no jeans like those.I probably used the wrong wording. I’m talking about this guy. Any time I’ve seen shrimp and grits on a menu, it’s at a place where you see this. Like a crossover between southern and pretentious. To be clear, the dish itself isn’t what I’m knocking.

I am sorry. Accept my sympathy.I eat breakfast about two to three
times per year . Same with brunch . Lunch maybe once or twice per week. So grits aren’t something I’ve had in years .

I don't disagree with So. FLA. that shrimp and grits is a dish that has taken on airs, so why not discuss a genuine South Florida dish, fish and grits? Maybe served with fried mullet?
I consider myself pretty southern, but now have some self-doubt; what the heck are shellcrackers, and stumpknockers? Never heard of Bambi mama sausage, but am guessing it’s made from deer meat, specifically doe.fried bass, speckled perch, speckled trout, redfish, flounder, catfish, bluegill, shellcrackers, stumpknockers, you name it, just tell me when and where!
Grits & bambi-mama sausage is good, too!
My Granddaddy DID have grits with every meal and my Grandmother had salmon croquettes available almost as much.My granddaddy could eat grits at every meal. They were cheap during the hard times and he got used to eating them pretty regular. When we’d go fishing on some Saturdays, we’d sometimes get breakfast at this little local cafe that opened early. That’s where I learned to eat grits mixed with fried eggs, the runnier the yolk the better.
We ate a lot of fish back then, plenty of fish fries were a way for families and friends to gather. Mostly bream, shellcracker, and channel cats. The best side was cheese grits made with sharp cheddar and not too stiff. You couldn’t buy it as good in a restaurant.
I had never heard of shrimp and grits until about 10 years ago. At the time I’d rather have my shrimp fried, grilled, or in a low country boil. Never thought much about eating them in grits. Went to a place in Thomasville Ga a while back called Jonah’s. Shrimp and grits was their specialty, so I gave ‘me a try. Didn’t know what I’d been missing! The cool thing was that they served me even though I wasn’t wearing those unisex sparkling dungarees. I’d recommend Jonah’s S&G if you’re ever up that way. Any way you serve ‘em, grits is good groceries.

It’s impressive that you’re able to keep up with UF sports so well...living in Somalia.
