I’m from the northeast and I never tried grits until I visited my husband’s hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. The grits his mom (also originally from the northeast) introduced me to were cheese grits at Mimi’s Family and Friends, in a quaint part of town called Fondren. These are my rendition of those grits (yes, I cheated and used instant, but like I said, I’m from “up north”). To be quite honest this is the only way I will eat grits; they are delish and my husband loves ’em too. Not bad for a Yankee.
