Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Do you put milk in your grits?

Seems reasonable. Never had grits, never felt the need to try them, and have never seen them on the menu of any reasonably legit breakfast serving restaurant.
The south can’t even teach their women to make grits now?
Dark days indeed.

Dark to light more like it. She can now fix collards and cornbread. Almost like momma.
You have to put milk in your grits. It’s the only way. 2 cups water and two cups whole milk. Little salt and butter. Bring to a boil. Add one cup grits. Real grits, like Geechie Boy or Lakeside white grits. Use a whisk when adding grits so they don’t stick. Reduce heat to low boil and cover. Stir often. Don’t cook them any less than 20-30 minutes. When they start looking thick, add milk and cook some more. The key to great grits is time. And fat. Whole milk and butter.
This dude gets it. Cook that shit, add some milk or cream, cook that shut some more. Then cook it a little more and they will be done.
nothing better than some good grits.
If you’re using stone ground grits, make sure they’ve been hulled. If not, soak them in water before cooking. The hulls will float and you can strain them off. If you don’t, they will be difficult to eat.
Got these at that place and the shrimp and grits was great. They are closed now because of the shut down.
Will take the advise.
Also, I use chicken broth instead of or in addition to milk or cream.

Don’t try to tell me that Waffle House isn’t legit. Not saying their grits are the best, but they have them.
There’s a place on the Isle of Palms near Charleston that does fried grit logs with Gouda cheese sauce. Incredible.
You got a name? Sounds like i need to check that place out.
Gouda Grit Fries are what you want. All their other stuff is fantastic too.

Chicken stock, 2 tablespoons of Texas Pete. Bring to a boil. Whisk in grits for 1-2 minutes, reduce to simmer. Stir often. Around 25-30 thin grits with heavy cream.
Cook 15-20 minutes, thin with milk.
Cook 5-10 minutes. Grits should never be served until they have cooked for at least 1 hr. When served, top with butter, S&P to taste.
