as a born southerner, it fills me with such pride that such a picky italian who is a true food connesoir, was thrilled and in love with the classic southern breakfast.
I think Italy, especially southern Italy, and the American South have a lot in common, not just in terms of how important (and tasty) the food is, but also in people's demeanor and traditional values, where family bonds come before everything. We're both places of relative poverty compared to the rest of the country, where people had to make do with what they had and where simplicity informed a lot of our traditions.
Dito!
@@mygetawayart Alessio is from France
@@gardenx5574 is he not from Italy?
@@katarzynaidzikowska4209 he is, its an ongoing joke because italy and france have a rivalry.
My grandfather and family were Italian immigrants who escaped Mussolini's Italy. After joining the military as a young man, he was stationed in Georgia where he met my grandmother....who was a great Southern cook. It's all she knew to cook. Anyway, there were married for 40 years and he never really ate Italian after that. He loved her Southern cooking too much! HA! So, here I am, one-quarter Italian and very Southern. Needless to say, I LOVE good food!
I have not seen him enjoy American food that much ever. As someone from Nashville this fills me with so much pride to see Loveless shown and yes those biscuits are AMAZING
I think he should have went to Louisiana
Italians are food snobs who aren't very open to other cuisines around the world. They have a prejudice against dishes from the New World, especially the States. Many Italians have never tried food from other cultures.
Seeing him enjoy Biscuits and Sausage fills you with Tennessee Pride you might say.😂
@@MMXX_CE lmao best response ever!
@@love4scotland Thanks, You Tee’d it up I just hit it real hard.
I truly hope they are as happy as they appear to be. They bring sunshine with their smiles.
That is so kind! Sending you all our love!

Dude scored. A girl that loves to laugh is a life treasure.
As a Southerner, I loved this!! Fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese is so underrated I loved that it got the picky Italians approval! God bless you two!
Homemade pimento cheese…. The Palmetto one is ok in a pinch though.
I’ve never had it but I drooled seeing it
He definitely needs to try apple butter on a biscuit
It's a game changer
My personal favorite is orange marmalade, and melted butter on a big fluffy biscuit
Omg... apple butter is heavenly.
Apple butter is not so common in the South. (Apples don't grow well in places that don't have winter.) Peach jam is more likely to be available.
Yummo! ❤
yes....yes......and........yes....
Peach preserves
I truly feel for the rest of the world and this country for those who have never tried true Southern food. The breakfast menu reminds me of my youth living in the country and having breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday morning. That was when my mother really served up a feast, all cooked on a wood stove using food grown and harvested on the farm where we lived. And the ham cured by my dad that was unbelievably good. Also, homemade sausage with spices mixed in just right, both patties and link.
This video is really great and genuine reactions to great, country, Southern breakfast food.
I ate at the Loveless Cafe years ago on a trip with my parents. I can still remember how DELICIOUS all the food was and how cozy the restaurant felt on a cold, rainy, Tennessee day. Those biscuits are definitely life-changing. My Southern girl heart was so happy. I'm so glad y'all enjoyed yourselves!
I’m from the south and married into an American NY Italian family and they VERY rarely eat outside of Italian food and poo-poo southern food. I’m happy to see him embrace southern food and actually enjoy it. 🥰
Sad you are having that experience. I married a man from Italy and his family not only embraced my southern cuisine....they would request me to cook certain things ALOT. His grandmother was sick and wouldn't eat anything but my chicken n dumplings with my special cornbread with fatback. I put love in my cooking and they know it. We enjoy a little of both Italian and Southern cuisine.
Oh and my chicken liver breakfast gravy is more requested than sausage gravy.
@@herekittykitty9324 That sounds amazing! Why did I never think of that?! Chicken livers are sooooo under-appreciated!
@@herekittykitty9324 Awwww. You got me with grandma! I bet that C&D was the exact comfort food she needed!
They don't know what their missing. My North Georgia cousin married an Italian from Rochester NY. They now live in Atlanta. She and her 5 kids grew up loving both food cultures. We converted her. Hee hee.
I was born and raised in Georgia, so I'm quite used to the typical southern breakfast, but recently traveled to Rome and Firenze, and found the traditional Italian breakfasts delicious and refreshing. Coffee and cornetti with some fruit was just enough to satisfy my morning hunger without weighing me down. Nice change of pace.
When Jessi was dancing while eating her biscuits, it reminded me of one of my (hillbilly) dad's favorite sayings. When the food is really good, "It's so good you can't sit still and eat it."
Jessi's smile just brings sunshine into the world.
That is so nice! Thank you so much!!

As does expressing his joy!
American Southern food has a lot in common with Northern Italian country cooking, especially each cuisine's appreciation for pork and dairy products, as well as grits/polenta being mainstays.
I totally disagree
Europeans Clearly don't put
IMAGINATION or CREATIVITY
In their food.
Seasonings are not
YOUR ENEMY
@@nakiabradford3100 Have you been to Italy??? LOL, it's HARDLY bland my friend.
I was surprised that neither of them dipped those heavenly potatoes in that gravy! 🤤
Unfortunatly going through chemo again, I'd only be able to have about a bite of everything, but this made me SOOO hungry!! 🤤🥰
Thanks guys🤗🥰
Or dipping the biscuit sandwiches in the gravy as well.❤😮
I hope your treatment goes well and your appetite returns!
I thought the same. Hoping you are well, now.
everything tastes better when you drink it from a mason jar
Agreed 🙌
That's what my kids think! I'm from VA, and kids drink from the jelly jar. 😂
What else can you drink from? I have heard that some people have things called "glasses", but I have only ever seen coffee cups and Mason jars. Oh wait, some jelly comes in jars with handles. They must be for more formal occasions.
Especially corn.
FACTS
I luv these guys. Their love and chemistry has real authenticity that u don't see very often with the couple channels. It never feels contrived, scripted or directed.
Oh dear lord!!!! I’m from Canada and I’m willing to fly down just to try all this food! Amazing!!!!
We'd love to have you.
We take all our visitors here!
Right?!? I'm in Pennsylvania and first thing I did was map it to see how long of a drive. Second thing was find their website to see if they shipped food (FedEx could get it to me overnight!) but they don't. (You can buy pantry items from their store but not from the Cafe. 😭)
@@adterpandrea the apple butter is worth buying. Just fyi. It’s incredible.
@@SneakyCheeseThief I bet! I miss my mother's apple butter. That might be the treat I need.
Every diner offers a full breakfast like this but you really have to search for the hidden gems. The ones that make from scratch and use fresh ingredients instead of frozen bulk items. Usually when you see homemade jam on the table the food is going to be good.
So true! I live in southern Cali and so naturally we have very few diners that offer good authentic southern breakfast but when you find one that does you can tell instantly everything is made from scratch!!
Cracker barrel makes a lot of their stuff from scratch even though it's in bulk for breakfast foods.
This is one of my favorite episodes! So happy to see Alessio enjoying southern food. Jessie dancing and Alessio playing air guitar was so funny.
I do believe that was air banjo, lol!
As a southerner this totally warms my heart!
Right? It's like a big hug!
Alessio is going to get full on the biscuits and butter with jelly!
He definitely did but no regrets haha
It isn't a good southern breakfast unless you eat so much that you have a food coma afterwards.
I'm a southerner and love grits! They are so good if cooked correctly. They should not taste grainy but smooth. I add a little sour cream to mine and lots of butter and of course salt and pepper to taste.
I'm not a southerner, but since i'm in the military I've heard of typical additions like syrup, salt+pepper, jelly, and cheese, but never sour cream. That sounds gross to me on the face of it...BUT, I might have to try it some time just to see, because I was raised to never say you don't like something before you try it.
@@blckgrd I only put a little. It just makes them creamier. Hope you like it :)
We started putting cream cheese in our grits and it’s amazing!
Try making your grits with beef or chicken stock instead of water…. Yum
You two def need to start a food review channel. Us Italians are always brutally honest about the food when it comes to eat out.
Oh yeah
I was born and raised in Nashville, and enjoyed breakfast at the Loveless for many years. No better biscuits anywhere, period!
The word biscuit comes from the Latin "panis biscoctus," which means "twice baked", so it's no coincidence that a biscuit is similar to biscotti, the cookies that actually are twice baked. Fast forward to the antebellum South. Biscuits were tough and flat, and typically were only eaten only in wealthy homes. Most people living in the South at the time ate cornbread instead. That's because mills in the South were better at grinding corn but not when it comes to wheat. So flour was only something the rich could afford.
It wasn't until several 19th-century innovations came along that we got what's now recognized as a Southern biscuit. First, better flour mills, most of them in the Midwest, and increased wheat production dropped the price of flour enough that poor Southerners could also afford to buy flour. And, the development of chemical leavening agents, such as pearl ash (potassium carbonate), potassium bicarbonate, and sodium bicarbonate, what we now call baking soda, helped biscuits reach new heights, without yeast or beaten eggs
As a native Tennessean thank you for filming this. We southerners take pride in our regions and states and the loveless is in an institution not only in Nashville but in the south. You make me proud
It's been 30 years or more since I was at Loveless. I teared up watching you Jessi especially saying it was your Grandpa's favorite. So many memories for myself in that room, going down the street to Chaffin's Dinner Barn on HS dates, Dotson's in Franklin after church or ball games. Omg it's a flood of nostalgia. Those biscuits are absolutely the best, red eye gravy 😋 mmm, fried pies 🤤. I love what y'all do and love what you just did for me. Keep touching hearts.. you got a fan!
I’m shocked Alessio said 10/10 as a classic Italian! The food is really good! Glad you blew his mind!
Most Italians actually aren't as negative as him on others food. And most actually know even in Italy, recipes vary. This guy visited US and they were calling Italian food from actual Italian immigrant families " not Italian" and truly just so disrespctful
My Italian uncle my Aunts husband) cant stand me watching them even as he feels he makes Italians look bad constantly putting down others.
There was a particular video where he claimed Italians dont put Garlic in Sauce to which he promptly picked up his cell phone and dialed his Grandma in Italy to have her share the recipe which indeed contains Garlic that is left in.
Southern Italian and Northern Italian food varies much line in US we have Southern and Northern recipes that vary.
Praising their type of attitude isn't doing anything for them to understand their wrong.
Love your content, and you guys editing is getting good! I love that you guys always add an entertainment value to your videos too, keeping them light hearted. Makes them so fun to watch. ❤
As a southerner, thank you for enjoying our food, please come back❤️
Such a pleasure to break bread with new great foods…. Tiramisu…- ask about peachamisu,
It actually makes perfect sense that an Italian would like American breakfast sausage because of all the black pepper, sage and fennel seed (if not also marjoram) in the pork. Those flavors should be right up their alley.
I have never been more proud to be from the South than seeing this . He really knows good food . NOW YOU HAVE GOT TO GET HIM TO TRY ..... RAPPA SCRAPPLE . Being in Maryland that is a staple in nearly every household . Scrapple is the best .
Lol scrapple is the breakfast underdog. Doesn't get much attention outside the area. I prefer Hughes but rapa scrapple does the trick
Never heard of scrapple. I'm going to look this up. Thank you
Edit: so it's like a pork meatloaf? It sounds good
I just loved this! I recently found your channel and I truly enjoy your wholesome content! Very rare to find lately ❤
Thank you so much Lena❤️
I’m so happy to see you guys exploring your own town. I’m guessing it’s your town or at least nearby. It’s great! Keep going in this direction. It’s heart warming. This is happiness!
Welcome to the south Alessio!😁🤤 I live about 1 hr and 45 min from Nashville and have never been to the Lovelace Cafe but have heard great things! I just think no one can get down on breakfast like my family! But the biscuit sampler.... it did look amazing! I love pimento cheese! I gotta get to this place lol!
I’m Southern Californian born and raised, and my best friend from childhood moved to Birmingham, Alabama for residency. We ate our way through that town every time I visited 🤤🖤 I had never tasted such delights before, and never since. Fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese 💯💯💯 bbq with white sauce, leaf lard biscuits, and the discovery of tomato pie 👅🎉👅
Not sure how famous those biscuits are since this is the first time I’ve heard of the place 😂 But I can confirm based on visits to the South that the best places with Southern cuisine are the small places like this. As they say, it’s the small things that count, and these gems take that to the next level with their charm. And you just proved that cheese really does make everything better!
My favorite small places to eat are the diners of New Jersey. Although I was born and raised in NY, my parents are from NJ and my dad would take me on long drives to NJ just to go to the places he grew up eating at. While we did those drives, Nabisco still had a factory in New Jersey (yes, Oreos were once made in New Jersey!) and you could just smell the cookies from the highway which was my favorite part about those drives. NJ is the diner capital of America, and just like these Southern establishments, they too have their own charm. The feeling of going back in time to get a quick bite to eat is why these diners and Southern stalls are so successful.
The Loveless Cafe is a Nashville institution!
This place has been featured in every major food magazine, blog, youtube channel, etc as the best breakfast in the US. Even Martha Stewart said she would rather have biscuits from here instead of making them herself.
This place is near impossible to get into for breakfast on weekends because of the tourists that show up by the busload. And it’s actually not small, either. It’s an old, mom and pop motel that’s been turned into a whole complex. The cafe started as a little add-on to the motel and over time just took over. But the food is good and made from scratch. Now, I actually prefer the dinner menu to their breakfast food, and as famous as the biscuits are, compared to others in town I think theirs are…middling. But I love their dinners, those potatoes really are fabulous…I t’s a really great intro to Southern food and a great vibe. But still, for Southern breakfast in Nashville, Monell’s is where it’s really at.
@@ninaradio Monell's is also excellent!!!
Comparing Apples and Oranges. I enjoy and have learned to cook Southern Food. My NC wife love good Italian food and a real diner. I told her to look for a Greek flag outside diners
I love it when Alessio eats southern food and loves it. Makes me happy. Hands down though, southern food is the best thing in the world.
This was my favorite video EVER! It’s like Alessio fell more in love with America a little more with every bite!!!! Love you guys!
You guys are DARLING together! I've watched several of your videos and love the way you interact. Pillowy biscuits and southern breakfast food!? Count me in!!
Thank you so much Emily ❤️
The air banjo! 😂
The childlike joy throughout this video is everything. 💛
Glad I found you guys!
You bring so much joy to the world by the simple act of enjoying your food! And particularly enjoyed this video about the Loveless Cafe. I recently got their cookbook, and want to try making some of the things y'all tried. Probably no match but will be fun!
His expression when the biscuit went rogue and jumped overboard. Y'all are too cute!
❤️🇮🇹❤️ It made my heart happy to see you enjoy a southern breakfast
What a great video. This is my first time watching you. Thanks for putting a big smile on my face!
I have never smiled so much in my life! Such a cute video! Thanks for always bringing happiness. 🥰
I enjoyed this video so much! I think you guys need to do a an “Alessio Tries Southern Food” series like you guys did for NYC lol
My tummy was aching after watching you eat all that! I haven’t had Loveless breakfast in years but I remember the feeling after eating all the delicious things there. Cheesy grits are one of my favorites, and yes, I love how they cook the potatoes. Ok, now I gotta drive to Nashville to get some Loveless!
Glad he loves this food! I watch alot of yall videos but this one is special living in the south myself and knowing how serious he is about food. I grew up eating everything yall ate in this video. Thanks to both of you for the good energy and vibes!
Alessio & Jessie, so glad you enjoyed your traditional southern breakfast!! I was waiting for you, Alessio to try the grits!!( Soft polenta!!). I know your discerning palette loves a good meal!! Non apptito!! Love to you both!! You’ll need a run to work off the calories!!🤣🤣🤣🤣. Caio, lovely couple!!😍😍😍😍😍
I love how Alessio loves everything that Jessi loves. He is such a great partner.
Cheesy grits as a condiment is the most American thing ever. Lol!
Loved this so much! You are both so adorable. Enjoy! 💕
How close are grits to polenta?
@@raymondweaver8526 I'm not sure. I haven't had polenta.
Grits are basically dried, ground corn.
When I just looked it up, it seems they are pretty much the same.
😏
having travelled to Italy and to the Loveless Cafe, Alessio is really honest in his appraisal and your videos are truly refreshing ! Go Southern and Italian cooking !!
After watching a dozen of your videos, I am watching this one again. I am retired living in Tennessee and loving life. You two are terrific. I grew up in Southern California in the 60's. But I visited Tennessee every summer. I always knew I would come here to retire.
If yall haven't been to Texas to try Authentic Mexican foods and other kinds of restaurants in Texas. I'd recommend it. Happy safe travels wherever yall go and thank you for the video reaction. They're very entertaining. Thank you again.
Tex Mex in TX is a must. Bonus if restaurant has both TexMex AND Authentic Mexican!
And forget the Texan breakfast, steak and eggs. And you have to try the chicken fried steak, the unofficially official dish of Texas (yes, the actual state dish is chili, but let's face it, a good CFS beats the pants off of almost anything.)
OMG that sounds like a happy place! 😊 Thanks for putting it on our radar next time we drive through Tennessee.
Next time, have Alessio try biscuits and gravy. 😃
My first thought was that they should have saved a few biscuits for the gravy❤
Couldn’t ya just hear the banjos? Total happiness and a side of Southern breakfast! You guys are beyond cute. ❤❤
Brought back yummy memories; still recall having a chunk of fried ham in red eye gravy - had to ask the server how they made the gravy. Coffee was poured into the pan which the ham was fried and the chunks were scraped off the pan and then poured over the ham. Glad you were able to experience this cafe.
LOL, You two are great, and having so much fun while your at it. Keep your videos coming.
When you enjoy a really good breakfast your day is just happy. The biscuits did it for me. Yum 😋
I love you guys! So cute! Did he not dip his biscuit in the gravy tho? I prefer that than the jam. I love to make a little sausage biscuit sandwich with the gravy. 🤤 probably my fave breakfast ever with hash browns/potatoes.
This is adorable and wholesome! Such a pleasure to see them enjoy southern breakfast!
You two are the best most loving people I have ever seen. It makes me happy to just watch you. You were made for each other. God blessed us all when he put you together 💜
Omg the food looks sooo good 🤤
Love your videos!! ♥️
I hate shaking when I go to eat I feel like my body is more excited than I am to eat.
My two favorite loves of my life! Italian guys and southern cuisine! Best of the best!
Alessio, what would they do to you if you ate that for breakfast in public in Italy?????
I'm curious to know????? 🤨🧐🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁
You guys are beautiful together! I love how much you love each other! Your videos ALWAYS make me smile and/or laugh my head off! Seems like Alessio is coming around to loving true American cuisine huh?
Good for you Alessio, I think you really deserve it! It's wonderful isn't it!
I'm from Mississippi, and I think Southern food is the Absolute best food on the planet! Happy eating! Stay blessed guys! AS ALWAYS... Great video y'all!💯❤️👍
Making notes here! Love your channel and the energy you bring!
Bringing the Amore to the Loveless. 😂❤
So joyful! A farm may be the best of both countries! Brillant.
Oh, I miss my southern foods. I'm stuck in California and they don't have good southern foods. I'm so happy he loves the food. Great job guys, you're a lovely couple! Those biscuits look amazing! Can't wait for more yummy food tasting.
Loveless is one of my favorite spots in Nashville. I always visit when I’m in town. Love that their amazing biscuits are bottomless cheesy grits are so good! Also, Nashville Jam Cafe is another hidden gem. ❤ Buon Appetito!
I’m neither city nor country mouse. Have done both. Worked on farms. Backbreaking work! And cities stress me all the way out. Me? I like beach. That would be my ideal.
This is fun seeing Alessio try all this Southern cuisine!
I love seeing Alessio so happy eating American food. It made me smile so much! You guys are my new favorite TH-camrs!
Glad you enjoyed it! I love southern food. I am from the Pacific Northwest in WA so when I use to live in West Nashville in Bellevue area where Loveless Cafe was about 4 miles from my house it is always a favorite of mine! My favorite BBQ in Nashville is Martin's BBQ!
When I first moved to the south I had a similar reaction to pimento cheese. That stuff is so good and relatively unknown other places.
Oh no!!!! Now I’m sooooo hungry! Lol… there’s absolutely nothing better than a Southern breakfast. Only thing I would have done differently, would have had a sweet tea . 😂❤❤❤
Just discovered your channel and it has made my day! New subscriber here, for sure! What an upbeat, sweet and refreshing experience for me. You two are such a cute couple that I'm sending you a "virtual hug". Looking forward to watching your upcoming adventures. Take care and have a pleasant and rewarding week. 🫂❤️🙏🌎🕊
I was a bit sad there was no honey for the biscuits, but the cheese grits, hash brown casserole, sausage gravy, pimento cheese ALL made up for it. 😅 So glad you enjoyed our Southern favorites. Your chair dancing & air banjo fit right in. The food is so good you can’t sit still. ❤️
Nothing beats a good southern breakfast. I live in the south and I make my own homemade biscuits 😋👏❤️
I love their biscuits and jam! And their grits are amazing!!
Seriously could make an entire meal just from the biscuits!
Nice to see you blooming where you are planted. I've never wanted to visit Nashville - I do now!
I grew up on southern breakfast at 5 a.m. every morning..and I was sad you did not do biscuits and gravy..but I'm glad to see he liked the breakfast...and it put a smile on both of you ...
That meal at Loveless Cafe in Nashville looks amazing. Homemade biscuits, grits and the rest are all classic southern breakfast foods. Great video. You both made it fun to watch. My mother-in-law was from the South. She taught me how to make those biscuits & they are delicious. Happy to see you enjoyed yourselves.
I was really surprised that Alessio rated the country ham so low, it has the flavor of prosciutto and is cured in a similar way. I love country ham but rarely eat it because of all the sodium. If I'm at Loveless for lunch or dinner I always get their fried chicken livers. Do they still have their apple butter? That's what I always put on my biscuits when I go there. The first time I went there I was with my cousins on our way back from Nashville and they wanted to go there... after turning off I40 we drove forever to get there, it is worth the drive.
Soak your country ham in warm water for a bit before you cook it. It takes the salt level down. I can’t believe there was no red eye gravy with it! He’d have ranked it higher as much as he loves coffee.
Good old country southern breakfast food. Does my heart good to see y’all enjoy these southern delights
This one made my mouth water, again! You two go to the best places I swear ❤🎉
I Love that Alessio loved Southern food. I am a southern food girl. especially pimento cheese, sausage gravy and biscuits. so the fact he loved those things YAY!! And Jessi I Love how you just light up when you love a food. your eyes just get so bright and you have such a beautiful smile. You guys always make me smile with your videos, either on here or Tik Tok!!!
Agreed. Pimento cheese is life affirming.
@@justkim1 agree!!!
After watching hundreds of videos of "Brits try this in America" ,"Italians try that in America",or "Irish eat XYZ in America", I've determined that when Europeans bitch about American food, what they're basically saying is they've either never been here, or only every ate at fast food and/or corporate chains in New England. I never see them complain about the food in a family owned restaurant in the South.
The look on your face showing off your love necklace, priceless. Your happy dance is really close to a hippy girl dance from my youth, also very nice. OMG...the look of disappointment in himself, and fear that he was going to lose it, and shame that he had nearly lost the pimento cheese biscuit! Y'all are lovely together.
Great video and review of southern cooking!
I cannot believe it took Alessio 8 years to experience a Southern American breakfast. I had most of my American experiences within the first year of moving here and despite experiencing loads of American things in 25 years I still have so much more to experience.
Alessio's face when the fried green tomato+pimento cheese biscuit almost bit the dust, says it all 😂! Did he say "my passport" ? I love this so much!
Edit: he said "the best one". That save, though!
Southern girl here. Cheesy grits with sunny side egg, dip biscuit in yolk with bite of good thick bacon or bacon biscuit??!!?! My heaven!!!! You can also eat grits with cheesy scrambled egg.
So glad you enjoyed! Not a fan of casserole unless exceptional but home fries with onion? Hands down winner for my family. We all kind of creat our own when going out.
BTW, ALWAYS go to small cafes for good breakfast. The big chains don't even come close. Good call!
This vlog was pure pleasure to watch it's as good as the movie eat love pray . Thank you for sharing this !
My MaMa Reid made the best biscuits in the world. And gave me the best flour covered apron hugs ever.
I've never had a Southern breakfast, but Alessio's reactions really make me keen to try! Especially the fried green tomato with pimento cheese, both of which I've been dying to try for ages. However, living on the other side of the world doesn't exactly make it easy 😂
You need to grow your own tomatoes. Might need to order that cheese online. Sounds so yummy!
There are recipes for pimento cheese. It is easy to make. I am not a huge fan. I am from the Chicago area and now live in Georgia since 1999. LOVE grits and always have!
@@linda.christie I’m with you on pimento cheese. I’ve lived all over the south (all over the world really) but growing up I didn’t really encounter pimento cheese until I lived in Atlanta. It’s a huge thing in Georgia and SC, all through the piedmont area. But it’s a take it or leave it food. Some people love it and always order it when they see it on a menu in one of its many iterations (pimento cheeseburger, pimento grilled cheese, etc etc). Grits are everywhere in the South, and I don’t know a single southerner who doesn’t like them. That said, it’s almost always the version of grits they grew up eating that they love - every other kind of grits is an abomination. I grew up with yellow cornmeal grits cooked in milk with a little butter and cheddar added at the end, but not too much. Some of my friends I grew up with wouldn’t eat grits made that way when they came to my house. And honestly, I didn’t like to eat grits at their house. But I did anyway. Cuz like I said, I’m from the south and you eat what’s put in front of you. Thank goodness most of it is DELICIOUS!
Most of this stuff is easily made at home, if you can source the ingredients. Note I said easily, not quickly. As for recipes, the internet is your friend.
@@georgesakellaropoulos8162 love the clarification of "easily, not quickly" 👍😆
His little southern breakfast dance made my whole day. I was so scared he wouldn't like the grits. Grits and hashbrown casserole with cheesy scrambled eggs is EVERYTHING 🤟🏼
You guys are a refreshing break from a lot of couple youtubers where you feel like the relationship might be toxic in the background. You guys clearly love each other and each other's company and it make's your videos very authentic feeling with a lot of playful jokes. Good for you.
