@@dugswank My dad was born Mississippi, he prefers butter, salt and pepper on his grits. Mom was born in Chicago and loves shrimp and grits. My siblings and I grew up in California and love sugar in our grits.
Just letting you know, at wafflehouse, you can order that hash brown bowl with sausage gravy on it. You don't have to order exactly like the menue has it. This is Anerica y'all! Lol
Well that is how I've always had them. But, I was just in the hospital and had THE BEST grits ever. They were creamy and smooth. The were cooked with some milk too. OMG so good that way. I will be doing it the next time I make my grits. I was feed good in that hospital. It was actually a grits bowl for breakfast. When have you ever heard of that? It had bits of bacon, bits of scrambled eggs and bits of cheddar cheese.
Grits can be eaten savory or sweet. About 98% of the people I know would never put sugar or syrup in grits. But, to each his own, even if wrong. 😂 Butter? Absolutely. And/or eggs over easy or scrambled, crumbly bacon, crumbled pan sausage, ham and so on…. 👍🏼
NO!!! No sugar in your grits. Most Southerners do not eat grits that way -- Northerners do. Grits in the south are grits, butter, salt, and pepper. Cheese added for an extra creamy flavor. Other ingredients as you wish (runny eggs, pan sausage, and - of course - shrimp and grits combo).
I'm northern and I don't put no gosh darn sugar in my grits. We didn't grow up eating that mess. That's blasphemy! Just eat cream of wheat if you need sugary mush!
I grew up in Virginia, and I agree with no sugar in grits, and normally butter, salt, and pepper with occasionally the other additions you mentioned. I hadn't seen anyone ever put sugar in grits until I was in college at VA Tech, and a fellow student from New Jersey put sugar and milk in her grits one morning when we were eating breakfast in the cafeteria. I was horrified. She said she just put in what she would put in cream of wheat.
Pecan waffle!!! A GREAT choice! They do simple reliable GOOD food. Ask for extra crispy hash browns. NO sugar on grits! (Floridian here - only time I ever saw anyone put sugar on grits were tourists from Canada. LOL! Sacrilege!
@@thebritstryYou can put whatever you want on YOUR grits. I can have them either way, and sometimes with cheese, but my favorite way is with sugar and cinnamon. It's the same for the rest of my southern family.
As a Tennessean, I can assure you that grits can be savory or sweet. Anyone who is paying that much attention to your food choices needs better choices of their own. People usually prefer them not sweet, I'll agree on that.
This might sound funny but Northerners put sugar in their grits to make it more like a breakfast cereal (like cream of wheat) but most Southerners just use butter, salt, and pepper (and sometimes cheese or shrimp). In fact, I was in California and saw that Denny's had grits on the menu. I ordered a bowl right away because it was hard to find at that time there. I couldn't wait, so when the server brought me the grits, I put the usual salt, pepper, and butter in it, took a big bite, and almost spit it out. They had served me Cream of Wheat instead of actual grits.
Waffle House is a staple in the South. When we were kids (I’m now 69), we didn’t know hamburger and hotdog buns were a thing. We were raised on white bread. But, sweeties, we do not put sugar on our grits. Cream of Wheat maybe but not grits. 😅😅😅❤
The sugar tip was recommended for us to try! and we will try anything once! Thank you for sharing your childhood memories and food preferences with us. It's always heartwarming to reminisce.
I love that you went at night, as close as you can get to the real WH experience without drunks or a fight. My sister loves shrimp and grits and if it’s in a menu she tries it. Ya’ll should look into South Carolina, try their barbecue, Low Country food, etc.
To each their own, but as someone who can communicate with grits - I tell you they do not like when you put sugar on them, that’s for oatmeal and cream of wheat.
I love your reactions because you are both beautiful, wonderful people with tons of charisma. Your playful banter and teasing makes me smile throughout. You are comfort food for the heart. 😂❤
Ketchup or hot sauce on your hash brown bowl, and only salt, butter and/or cheese, cheese grits. Eggs in the grits with butter, you can throw some sausage in there too. Sugar just doesn't go well with grits. Love your videos!
One of the main things about Waffle House is that you can customize your food in any way you can imagine. If something is shown on the menu, you can add it to something else. This combining has developed its own short-hand code for the true WH aficionado. So you can add gravy (or onions, etc. ) to anything.
It's strange when it comes to sugar. Even with cornbread the northern style is packed with sugar while the southern style isn't. I wonder how that developed with foods.
The pecan waffle is my fav!! Next time ask for warm syrup. 😋😋 I also love the Texan bacon chicken melt with waffle house sauce. 🔥🔥 Hashbrowns covered, chunked and peppered. Adding the biscuit gravy is def a pro move. 😍 Gotta try your grits with salt, pepper, butter, and cheese and eat them with a spoon!!
I just love your adventurous food spirit and look forward to your new videos. As a Southerner, the additional ingredient to grits has been an ongoing debate. What is added will really depend on where you're from. Me, being from east-central Alabama prefer salt, pepper, and butter but will occasionally either mix it with my eggs (fried or scrambled), bacon, or sausage. YUUUUUMMMMM. I have seen some of my Mississippi relatives put grape jelly in them but OMG that is YUK to me. To each their own though. Keep experimenting.....you will perfect your own recipe for sure.
You guys are becoming true Americans and getting adventurous with your food. I love you added the gravy to the bowl totally would've done that. I usually add brown sugar to my grits lol but I'm sure it was lovely with the sausage or burger as well.❤
NO SUGAR in the grits..butter salt and pepper to taste..you can add cheese to that mix also..I do all of the above and then add 2 over easy eggs and mix then you can have either bacon, sausage or country ham with toast on the side
I make roasted garlic and cheese grits which are delicious and I do cook them down a bit so they are thicker. I also like them fried with maple syrup. My dad would make grits and put them in the refrigerator overnight and then make patties and fry it up for breakfast in a bit of grease left over from frying the bacon. Add a bit of maple syrup and they were excellent. All I needed for breakfast was fried grits and a couple of rashers of bacon and I was a happy girl.
Try next time try the grits with butter, salt and pepper without the sugar and share with us which you prefer!!! 😉 There's a bit of controversy whether sugar belongs in grits!
Hello from Philadelphia,PA you guys need to come here and try Max's or Dalessandros Cheesesteaks( don't go to the tourist spots lol) Hoagies from All Day Hoagies/I scream for Ice cream Soft pretzels from Center City pretzels Fred's water ice. The Reading Terminal and try Beiler's donuts and any other foods your heart desires. We have great food here!
FYI. Waffle House is considered drunk food for after the bar or “pub” due to extremely limited options after 2am. I’ve never witnessed anyone going there sober, myself included.
@@altones1952 Ah but I hate Taco Bell lol I honestly can't stand Taco Bell. I don't think I've ever, not one time enjoyed anything I've gotten from them - and it's usually friends or a nephew etc. getting us stuff and I still just, I just can't with them :(
actually when a tree is tapped the this syrup comes out, its actually in its cheapest form. it takes cooking it down to get the medium thickness, but most purist like dark syrup which is super thick and concentrated. the best syrup ( family owns a tree farm) is from Massachusetts. Canada also does a nice syrup.
Cheesy buttery grits, seasoned with a pinch of cayenne, and crispy chopped bacon pieces sprinkled on top. Served next to a fried egg tucked into a buttermilk biscuit w/ a side of sausage gravy / grape jelly to dip the biscuit into. I need to find a cardiologist....
Yeah, when I get grits there I have to put a ton of butter, salt and pepper on the grits. Usually I have it with breakfast food, so I'll have some egg, sausage and grits on the fork. That bite works for me. I never put sugar in my grits, but, to each his own I guess.
Love You Guys!! Grits is like Porridge, in that it is a vehicle for the Flavors (Butter, Shrimp, Andouille Sausage, Bacon, Cheese, Hot Sauce, etc...) you put into it P.S. Nicola, your laugh is contagious!! 😁
I love seeing you both being you both! You guys are actually quite funny. You said you'd deliver more of yourselves, and you delivered. Thanks for sharing!
That gravy on the mix bowl is 🔥🔥There’s a spot here in Texas called Old West Cafe. They have the 6 Shooter it’s 1 chicken fried steak 2 biscuits on top smothered with Gravy And topped off with 2 eggs 😋
You guys are still in Texas! That is super sweet. My special experience in Texas is from 1992, working on Leonardo DiCaprio’s makeup for “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape”, he needed prosthetics made for his Arnie character. He got nominated for an Oscar (TM) and I feel my makeup design helped a little. *The coffee and breakfast at the hotel in Austin was solid, and the taste of that coffee, the aroma, it’s indescribable.*
In Michigan biscuits and gravy topped with eggs, meat and potatoes is called a Southern Bowl or Skillet...then you add a little Louisianna hot sauce too! That sausage melt would be great with grilled onions on grilled rye like a patty melt with sausage gravy dip! Another American classic similar to grits is "Coco Wheat" like chocolate flavored grits. Great with toast for dipping. I came from a family of 6 and a box could feed our family for just a few bucks.
Whipped spread is a butter substitute, akin to margarine. Buttered grits are good. Or you can add coffee creamers and sugars for a Cream of Wheat type cereal texture. Or add a slice of cheese to have cheesy grits. My fave is the cheesesteak bowl with two scrambled eggs added and a side of raisin toast with apple butter.
Diner tip: you can always ask for gravy on the side. And I almost always add salt and a good bit of pepper to both the gravy and the grits. (Sugar in grits is just wrong. Cheese in grits is nice.)
I my husband & was 1st married, he put sugar in hits grit & rice & that nearly made my head explode! I prefer my grits savory & I sometimes mix my sausage & eggs, sometimes just a bit of red-eye gravy, or if I have a bit of Étouffée (Crawfish or Shrimp) left over I'm putting them together!
Next time that you get a Patty Melt or if they call it a Texas Melt, put plain old yellow mustard on it. Really slather it and be sure that they give you a lot of grilled onions. It's delicious. At Waffle House, you can order hash browns in a variety of ways. All of them and any combo are good: Smothered (sautéed onions) Covered (topped with melted cheese) Chunked (smoked ham) Diced (grilled tomatoes) Peppered (jalapeno peppers) Capped (grilled mushrooms) Topped (chili) Country (sausage gravy) Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for sharing! The sugar trick was recommended to us in the comments of a few previous videos. one we will try anything once! 😁Surprisingly it actually tasted good with the salty meet added. Thanks for watching
Everything and anything goes for me when eating grits. It's for dunking your toast, eggs, waffle, bacon and everything else. Then eat up the rest as is like a porridge/smoothie at the end.
with grits its a personal preference i like mine with lots of butter and salt(savory) maybe even some crumbled up bacon.. some do like sugar or even a jam/jelly .. oatmeal is also the same here its a preference in individual taste
Butter even cheese in grits. Gravy does go in the breakfast bowl. At least that’s what we did. And you can get hash browns by themselves and add a number of different things. Chili, cheese and onions are popular. I like the tomatoes and ham too. You can add bacon to the patty melt. That’s what makes it. Along with the grilled onions. And use the Waffle House sauce. I worked for Waffle House overnight for several years. Funnest job I’ve ever had!
It sounds like you had some fun and tasty experiences working at Waffle House! Thanks for the delicious recommendations of hash browns with Chili, cheese and onions. we will have to try those next time. Thanks for watching
Try the susage egg and cheese bown again, with a soft yolk. The yolk works as a right sauce for the hashbrowns. The hashbrowns are also great “peppered” (containing chopped jalapeño peppers.
Hey y'all, another great video! I really enjoy your reactions! For the sausage bowl, the gravy is a must with hot sauce too! And I really like the pecan waffles too!!! Take care, and safe travels!! And keep up the great reviews!! Oh I do hope, that y'all can visit, Central Oklahoma soon!!!!
At home, if you're interested in trying something unique, grits can be slightly thickened and by adding just a touch of cornmeal, you can make some outstanding fritters/cakes with them. Usually when we do this we will add some fine diced jalapeños, fine diced onions and shredded cheese and you can pick them up and eat them with your hands, almost like large taco chips. I know it sounds a little strange, but they are great. The hardest part is getting the grits to the correct consistency so they fry up crispy without being burned. Pour them out (similar to how you would a pancake) in 3 to 4 inch rounds and they cook pretty quick.
I remember taking my then brother and sister in-laws from Ireland to WF here in Wake Forest NC and their reaction was amazing....lol..."Oh my ...That's brilliant!!"
I use to have an early morning breakfast. 4am. I would always get the tbone steak. With a waffle. And those hash browns. But alas.. the local ones closed. Not from lack of demand. The customers were a bit out of hand. I'm a native San Diego person if you have any questions.
Grits take on the flavor of whatever you put with them. I make a sausage, garlic and cheese grits casserole and it is really good. Many people mix scrambled eggs and cheese with their grits.
From Alabama. When I have grits with breakfast I have them with butter salt and pepper, then I have an egg with a runny yolk and bacon or sausage, everything gets put into the grits it is a mess but oh so delicious! The grits should not be runny like that, grits is like polenta. I have made grits put them in the fridge and then cut them into rounds and fried them and put different sauces and veg with them, as a side. my favorite is mushrooms.
My mom’s side of the family is from NY transplanted in the south and they eat sugar on grits. My dad’s side is from Georgia and they are strict no sugar. Grits butter pepper and most importantly cheese! Try grits cooked with 1/2 water 1/2 milk and then shredded cheddar it’ll change your life. I enjoy both but have my own recipe the 1/2 milk 1/2 water and cheese and will never go back.
i always add gravy to my bowl or add some of that syrup to my sausage. Waffle house undefeated after a night of drinking or if you wanna keep the night going with someone.
I used to go there so much, I paid my bill with a check and the waitresses knew my order. Chop streak medium Triple scrambled w/cheese HB scattered,covered and chunked And a Diet Coke
Thanks for sharing your Southern grits preference! Butter definitely adds that rich flavor. The sugar hack was suggested to us inn our comments and we always try to try the recommendations we get.
Glad you went and enjoyed it. I order sausage gravy on my hash brown / egg and sausage bowls. They will 'custom' make orders for you. If you request sausage gravy on that 'bowl'. They will add it - a small extra price. Take care

Or adding syrup
Yes!!
Just say smothered when ordering.
Smothered and covered.
you can ask them to add gravy to a hashbrown bowl.. its a small upcharge but worth it

It was delicious with the gravy on. Thanks for the heads up we will definitely get the gravy added next time.
I add gravy to mine, too. Can't have it plain now.
Butter, salt, and pepper. Sugar goes in Cream of Wheat , or Farina.
People who put sugar in their grits were not raised right. Ill die on that hill. Lol
people who eat grits weren't raised right
When we have grit, we put pepper butter and crispy bacon in and mix it all together also I love grits with cheese and shrimp too
Oh that sounds really good, we will make sure we try this!
Yes!!
Cheese and shrimp. Lordy!

The onions take a patty melt to another level
We did ask but we missed out unfortunately, the server was run off there feet. Thanks for sharing!
True Southern grits are cooked until thick an served with lots of butter and pepper. You cook the grits in salted water. Delicious.

Now, the way to eat at Waffle House, is to go out that night, get hammered, and show up glassy eye'd at 2 in the morning. lol.
This right here. They atleast got the closest to a true waffle house experience I've seen on a yt video.
pro move is to add more pepper to all gravy, they leave it light so people can season it themselves
grits with butter, salt, lots of pepper, jalapenos, bacon, cheese.

My special experience in Texas is from 1992, working on Leonardo DiCaprio’s makeup for “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape”, he needed prosthetics made for his Arnie character. He got nominated for an Oscar (TM) and I feel my makeup design helped a little. *The coffee and breakfast at the hotel in Austin was solid, and the taste of that coffee, the aroma, it’s indescribable.*
In Michigan biscuits and gravy topped with eggs, meat and potatoes is called a Southern Bowl or Skillet...then you add a little Louisianna hot sauce too! That sausage melt would be great with grilled onions on grilled rye like a patty melt with sausage gravy dip! Another American classic similar to grits is "Coco Wheat" like chocolate flavored grits. Great with toast for dipping. I came from a family of 6 and a box could feed our family for just a few bucks.
Whipped spread is a butter substitute, akin to margarine. Buttered grits are good. Or you can add coffee creamers and sugars for a Cream of Wheat type cereal texture. Or add a slice of cheese to have cheesy grits. My fave is the cheesesteak bowl with two scrambled eggs added and a side of raisin toast with apple butter.
Thanks for the tips!
Diner tip: you can always ask for gravy on the side. And I almost always add salt and a good bit of pepper to both the gravy and the grits. (Sugar in grits is just wrong. Cheese in grits is nice.)
You can put anything is Grit. Salt,pepper,egg and hot sauce with chunks of beacon...YUMMMM
I my husband & was 1st married, he put sugar in hits grit & rice & that nearly made my head explode! I prefer my grits savory & I sometimes mix my sausage & eggs, sometimes just a bit of red-eye gravy, or if I have a bit of Étouffée (Crawfish or Shrimp) left over I'm putting them together!
That sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing the tip.
Next time that you get a Patty Melt or if they call it a Texas Melt, put plain old yellow mustard on it. Really slather it and be sure that they give you a lot of grilled onions. It's delicious.
At Waffle House, you can order hash browns in a variety of ways. All of them and any combo are good:
Smothered (sautéed onions)
Covered (topped with melted cheese)
Chunked (smoked ham)
Diced (grilled tomatoes)
Peppered (jalapeno peppers)
Capped (grilled mushrooms)
Topped (chili)
Country (sausage gravy)
Thanks for another great video!
You can grits how ever you wanna eat grits! All this gatekeeping is hilarious. Lol but also sugar in grits 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing! The sugar trick was recommended to us in the comments of a few previous videos. one we will try anything once! 😁Surprisingly it actually tasted good with the salty meet added. Thanks for watching
Everything and anything goes for me when eating grits. It's for dunking your toast, eggs, waffle, bacon and everything else. Then eat up the rest as is like a porridge/smoothie at the end.
Thank you for sharing your unique grits eating style! It's always fun to hear how others enjoy their favorite foods.
My grits: butter, salt, pepper, shredded cheese, mix up. Sprinkle bacon bits on top.
with grits its a personal preference i like mine with lots of butter and salt(savory) maybe even some crumbled up bacon.. some do like sugar or even a jam/jelly .. oatmeal is also the same here its a preference in individual taste
That's exactly how I eat my hashbrown bowl with gravy!!😂 love it!!
Smothered, covered, diced, capped and topped hash browns. It's a meal in itself.
Yes please! Thanks for watching
Butter even cheese in grits. Gravy does go in the breakfast bowl. At least that’s what we did. And you can get hash browns by themselves and add a number of different things. Chili, cheese and onions are popular. I like the tomatoes and ham too. You can add bacon to the patty melt. That’s what makes it. Along with the grilled onions. And use the Waffle House sauce. I worked for Waffle House overnight for several years. Funnest job I’ve ever had!
It sounds like you had some fun and tasty experiences working at Waffle House! Thanks for the delicious recommendations of hash browns with Chili, cheese and onions. we will have to try those next time. Thanks for watching
Try the susage egg and cheese bown again, with a soft yolk. The yolk works as a right sauce for the hashbrowns. The hashbrowns are also great “peppered” (containing chopped jalapeño peppers.
Sounds delicious! I'll definitely give it a try! Thanks for watching
Hey y'all, another great video! I really enjoy your reactions! For the sausage bowl, the gravy is a must with hot sauce too! And I really like the pecan waffles too!!! Take care, and safe travels!! And keep up the great reviews!!
Oh I do hope, that y'all can visit, Central Oklahoma soon!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and suggestions! We really appreciate your support. We would love to visit Oklahoma in the future.
So glad you used the gravy in the bowl!
It made the dish even better!
At home, if you're interested in trying something unique, grits can be slightly thickened and by adding just a touch of cornmeal, you can make some outstanding fritters/cakes with them. Usually when we do this we will add some fine diced jalapeños, fine diced onions and shredded cheese and you can pick them up and eat them with your hands, almost like large taco chips. I know it sounds a little strange, but they are great. The hardest part is getting the grits to the correct consistency so they fry up crispy without being burned. Pour them out (similar to how you would a pancake) in 3 to 4 inch rounds and they cook pretty quick.
I remember taking my then brother and sister in-laws from Ireland to WF here in Wake Forest NC and their reaction was amazing....lol..."Oh my ...That's brilliant!!"
I like thick grits with milk and maple syrup, so it's like cream of wheat or cream of rice.
I use to have an early morning breakfast. 4am. I would always get the tbone steak. With a waffle. And those hash browns. But alas.. the local ones closed. Not from lack of demand. The customers were a bit out of hand. I'm a native San Diego person if you have any questions.
Grits take on the flavor of whatever you put with them. I make a sausage, garlic and cheese grits casserole and it is really good. Many people mix scrambled eggs and cheese with their grits.
Grits, no butter, just add salt and pepper and then add to runny fried egg. SOOOOOOOOO good.
That sounds really good, we didn't think to add an egg to it! Thanks for watching...
From Alabama. When I have grits with breakfast I have them with butter salt and pepper, then I have an egg with a runny yolk and bacon or sausage, everything gets put into the grits it is a mess but oh so delicious! The grits should not be runny like that, grits is like polenta. I have made grits put them in the fridge and then cut them into rounds and fried them and put different sauces and veg with them, as a side. my favorite is mushrooms.
My mom’s side of the family is from NY transplanted in the south and they eat sugar on grits. My dad’s side is from Georgia and they are strict no sugar. Grits butter pepper and most importantly cheese! Try grits cooked with 1/2 water 1/2 milk and then shredded cheddar it’ll change your life. I enjoy both but have my own recipe the 1/2 milk 1/2 water and cheese and will never go back.
Thank you, we really want to try grits with cheese, it sounds delicious.
My cousin puts grape jam in his grits. I’ve always eaten grits with butter and salt.
I like a regular patty melt with onions. It comes on rye bread, and I like ketchup on it.
i always add gravy to my bowl or add some of that syrup to my sausage. Waffle house undefeated after a night of drinking or if you wanna keep the night going with someone.
I used to go there so much, I paid my bill with a check and the waitresses knew my order.
Chop streak medium
Triple scrambled w/cheese
HB scattered,covered and chunked
And a Diet Coke
As a Southerner, I wouldn't add sugar to grits, but I would add butter.
Thanks for sharing your Southern grits preference! Butter definitely adds that rich flavor. The sugar hack was suggested to us inn our comments and we always try to try the recommendations we get.
Glad you went and enjoyed it. I order sausage gravy on my hash brown / egg and sausage bowls. They will 'custom' make orders for you. If you request sausage gravy on that 'bowl'. They will add it - a small extra price. Take care
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing your customization advice.
i got full jus watchin ya'all
Thanks for watching!
i normally have grits when i have fried eggs over easy or medium and then mash the eggs up in the grits sometime i add chopped up sausage patties
The patty melt should have had onions and you should have asked for them again. Also we usually dip them in ketchup which makes it even better❤
