Of course if it's not "mama" who is doing the cooking, you have to be careful about your choice of restaurants. Many establishments are phony in this regard. The best cooking will often come from those places where there are bunch of "little old ladies" in the kitchen.
Grits and breakfast are just the tip of the iceberg. Cooked turnip (or collard) greens, red beans, fried okra, cornbread, and the appropriate condiments are heavenly. The condiments are most crucial: hot pepper sauce for the greens, tabasco sauce for the beans, and butter for the cornbread. Of course many people like to just throw the cornbread right into the bowl of greens in order to "sop up" the juices. And of course, you wash this down with a big glass of iced tea. bob
