I’ve now tasted a little bit of heaven.  Charleston, SC is home to many, many , many fine restaurants.

But as far as I’m concerned, Hominy Grill on Rutledge Street DEFINITELY lives up to – and beyond –  its press!! We arrived around 1:30 pm, and were seated out on the terrace, under a great looking very SC typical tin roof.

It was tough deciding what to order, but I decided to be a purist and ordered the shrimp and grits. ( (Yes, cheese grits. They were unbelievable – here’s the recipe.)

Honey, there’s nothing better.  I savored every last morsel.  And you should too.  Definitely worth a trip to Charleston.
