OK, y’all… here we go again!!!

Our next Grits Café Supper Club is officially in the works.

Fall is right around the corner. Hunting season isn’t far behind. So we figured… why not WILD GAME?

We’re putting together a menu built around the flavors of the season—wild game, fall ingredients, and a few surprises along the way.

Our Supper Club dinners have been selling out weeks in advance, so if you want a seat at this one, don’t wait.

See you at the table.

Another Grits Cafe Supper Club SOLD OUT last night!

This month, we explored the traditions of early Appalachian cuisine through another storytelling dinner—and what a fun evening it was.

Our menu featured:

Course One — Fire-roasted corn and heirloom bean salad with sumac vinaigrette

Course Two — Roasted quail with spoonbread, roasted onion, and sage-cider jus

Course Three — Salt-cured pork with buttered hominy, glazed turnips, and apple butter reduction

Course Four — Pan-seared trout with sweet potato, wild mushrooms, and brown butter

Perhaps the best part of the evening was seeing that nearly half the room was joining us for the first time. That is what Supper Club is truly about—sharing good food, telling stories, welcoming new faces, and bringing people together around the table.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so special. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the table.

I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you.

This week i shared stories of some incredible people and small businesses that mean a lot to me and our community. I honestly wasn't expecting the response that followed.

Several people have reached out to some of these friends, stopped by one of the businesses, introduced themselves, or simply wanted to support someone they learned about through these posts. That means more than you probably realize.

Supporting local isn't always about spending money. Sometimes it's as simple as sharing a post, leaving an encouraging comment, stopping in to say hello, or telling someone you appreciate what they do. Those little things can make a big difference.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along this week, shared these stories, and shown support for the people I've been fortunate enough to feature. I truly believe our community is stronger when we lift each other up.

I'm looking forward to continuing to share the people, places, and stories that make Monroe County so special.

Thank you for being part of it.
❤️
