Playing With Food in Hawaii : gravy

Sometimes in life things can get pretty hectic. So it's been for me, which explains my lack of any post or any interesting cooking for that matter. Still, I did want to put up this quick review on a new Southern restaurant that just opened up in Honolulu.

Kiss My Grits is a small private eatery that is located in the back alleys of Puck's Alley. Owned and operated by a brother and sister from North Carolina, this is the place for good, heart-warming, comfort food even if you have never eaten this type of cuisine. With a fairly varied menu, from grits, to fried chicken, to fried green tomatoes, this has quickly risen to the top 3 on my lists of favorite places to have lunch.

I was fortunate enough to pay my first visit with my wife and a bunch of friends. The benefit of this is that we were able to order a variety of items and share "family style". For those who want to EAT, get the fried chicken plate and rinse it down with their often sold-out Bourbon Bread Pudding. For those who are on a budget, I would strongly recommend the chicken tenderloin biscuit sandwich. At $3.95 this is a fantastic bargain and comes with a side of country gravy that will ensure a full stomach and a smile on your face.
