G&F Travel Charleston: Hominy Grill Shrimp and Grits

Located in a crimson sided-home within historic Charleston, Hominy Grill is all about blending the traditional low country food of the south with a modern way of eating. James Beard Award-winning CHEF ROBERT STEHLING explains that super fresh product and seasonal cooking are modern ideals that are also deeply rooted in Charleston’s cultural history. And the thing most people misunderstand about the southern diet? There’s more to it than pork and deep fried things. Chef Robert is sharing a taste of Charleston with us as we whip up a southern classic: Shrimp and grits. A secret ingredient? Bacon! Reserve some bacon fat for pan frying the shrimp for an extra rich flavor. Follow along and bring a little southern cooking into your dinner plans. For optimum authenticity serve with a side of southern hospitality.
