Who serves the best grits in the United States?
This is a rhetorical question because I know the answer. It’s Liz Munson at Liz’s Where Y’at Diner in Mandeville, Louisiana.

On the other hand, everything served at Liz’s is special—not just the grits.
I love the biscuits & debris,

the scrambles and the Where y’at Bennies (Eggs Benedict and Benedict derivatives ).

Her vivid extravagant Southern-style hospitality brings smiles to all lucky enough to step into her sunshine.
“Come in and see me. Where Y’at, Baby!,” Liz writes on her menu, beaconing the crowds who show up Monday through Friday starting at 6 a.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 7 a.m. for breakfast, brunch and lunch, to fill tables until closing at 2 p.m. each day.

But back to the nitty gritty of grits. I lked Liz’s so much that I asked for her recipe.

”Here ya go, baby,” she replied. “It’s pretty complicated….lol.”
