Melissa and Brendan
Melissa's Birthday Party with Brian, Me, Paige, and Carl
Jeremy, co-owner with his wife Holly the most excellent chef
Brian, Paige, Carl, and Brendan got the Polenta Fries with Balsamic-Tomato "Ketchup"
Melissa and I had the Grilled Peaches
Heirloom Tomatoes that Carl, Brian, Brendan, and I enjoyed
Salad with Blueberries for Paige and Melissa
Brian and Carl ordered the Chicken Caprese
Brendan had the Turkey Meatloaf
Paige, Melissa, and I had the Shrimp & Grits
You might notice that we didn't have flowers and candles on our table like the others did. Because the shrimp and grits were so absolutely incredible and they were really busy, I decided not to make a big deal of it here on the blog. I'm sure they are grateful even though presentation is important. I watch Top Chef and Top Chef Masters and have learned what to look for! Close call this time! :-) (they read this)
We all had such a good time. Carl is Brian's godfather (our cousin Sally is his godmother), and we've been friends with Paige and Carl for almost 40 years. I love them! Brendan was so good and such a fun dinner companion. He likes to try all kinds of food and isn't a picky eater but a discriminating one.

So sad I couldn't attend--you know how much I love shrimp and grits! I forgot it was Melissa's birthday; tell her a belated happy, happy!
Wow, gorgeous food! I love to see pics of good cuisine! Mahalo for sharing, Joy.
I would totally have ordered the shrimp and grits as well! I LOVE shrimp and grits!
My wv is mosoda.
"I'd like mosoda please!"
I love the peaches
Life does not get much better than shrimp and grits. Well, oysters and grits, maybe.
Thanks for sharing.
ha. y'all were at our table, and i think they kept the flowers and candles away from our toddler. sorry about that.
I thought I wanted the chicken caprese but after listening to you and Paige and seeing the photos, think it will be the Shrimp and Grits...looks and sounds wonderful. I definitely want to go the next time and hope this dish will be on the menu. I love your commentary and see you being Dickson's Culinary Critic...will be a great column in the Herald.
