WHERE TO EAT The best Grits in the world (according to food experts)

"We fought over the jalapeño cheese grits. They are light in texture and rich on flavor at the same time. They’d replace macaroni & cheese on every local menu if everyone could make cheese grits like Micklethwait."

"You don't have to get grits with your order, but it is worth eating the grits because it is hard to find creamy grits elsewhere in the US so it's worth ordering the grits here."

"Grits really do rule here. Especially when infused with copious amounts of cheddar."

"On my visit last week, the dish that stood out (other than the fried chicken!) was the fried grits with cheese."

"Nothing will warm your insides on a January day like the Marche's cheese grits or French Toast Sandwich."

"Thick, creamy, cheesy, and dotted with jalapeno peppers, grits make a good companion to any of the menu’s meats."

"The Eagle rustles up fantastic white cheddar grits."

"Enriched with cheese, sprinkled with a bounty of crisp bacon pieces and chopped green onions, this is an unforgettably good meal. The same good grits serve as a pedestal for grilled mahi mahi, adorned with pumate butter and fried green tomatoes."

"Don't skip the green chilli cheese grits, made with the famous Hatch green chillies of New Mexico."

"Prepared simply yet perfectly with butter, sea salt and chive, you will experience a new found love for this classic Southern dish."
