Day 26: Eat your grits!

We were cruising through downtown Durham on our way home and decided to stop for some dinner.  We had heard of several recommendations for area restaurants, but much to my surprise, David decided we ought to try eating here:



I wasn't sure about the combination, but decided I could go for waffles....until I scanned the menu!  True Southern fare.  I decided to give it a shot after hearing the waitress' suggestions.   Here's what I ordered:
The Buttercup.  1 fried chicken cutlet sandwiched between 2 sweet potato waffles with maple cream butter, and a side of cheese grits.  I've never been a fan of grits, but holy mole!  I fell in love with the grits and did a pretty good job of cleaning most of my plate (saving some left-overs for lunch tomorrow).  Wow!  Best food I've had in North Carolina so far!

David ordered the fried chicken cutlet with one large blueberry waffle served with vanilla almond butter and cheese grits.  Mine was better.  Just sayin'.  ;)
