      He's also the only one to actually give home cooked grits. Why use instant for something that barely takes time to cook? And as someone with Italian and Southern US heritage, even I was confused about the use of polenta for the level 3 chef. From the looks of everything, I would love each and every one of these dishes, but if I were to order shrimp and grits, Shariff's would be exactly what I'd be expecting. Ok, not 100% expected, but I'd view the sausage as a bonus, not a negative.

I have been to a place in my home town that elevated soul food / comfort food and the portions were on point for the price point. It can be done. Also stop swapping out Polenta for Grits, it really is not the same, especially when you want to put them in cake form. Doing wayyyyyyy tooo much and the only thing that stayed true was there was shrimp. SMH Shariff is the only one that did a southern shrimp and grits and that’s it’s roots, that’s what people expect. Not coconut milk and a punch of vegetables and three shrimp... sigh

    I’ve been seeing Lorenzo on level 2 chef for a very long time now. With all the knowledge and experience acquired in doing these videos it’s logical to think that he is probably a level three chef now. I’m sure he is watching these videos and if he’s that much interested in cooking he already picked up a lot of knowledge from the level 3 chefs as well as the person who does the analysis.

    I never had Shrimp and Grits, but it sounds pretty good. It’s awesome to have Lorenzo back because I really like his upbeat personality. The professional chef from this episode is very informative as usual and I like how calm she is. I also like how confident and outgoing the level 1 chef is. It’s very interesting to see the professional chef make a more refined and fancy form of Shrimp and Grits and the Shrimp and Grits from the other 2 levels looks absolutely delicious. Overall though, all of their Shrimp and Grits looks awesome, but in terms of my preference, I think I will choose to eat the Shrimp and Grits from level 1 because it seems the most traditional but the most appetizing.
