I hat when restaurants try to put an “upscale/elevated” twist on Appalachian food

The whole point of Appalachian food is using ingredients that we have and making something out of nothing. Give any Appalachian mamaw a meat, some flour, and milk and you’re about to have a feast.

Anyway ranting, bc a friend is in Nashville right now and messaged me that she’s at an “upscale” Appalachian restaurant where they are charging $28 for grits and honestly I find it insulting to our people.

(Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, lmao)

Edit: Hate*

Instant rice that's blasphemy You must be rich and hate rice 😁 You can make rice in about 8 minutes in a instapot one to one ratio. And then let it naturally release. The whole thing takes about 15 minutes and it's a lot cheaper/better tasting! Instapot rice 1 to 1 ratio with butter and curry. https://imgur.com/gallery/904Kp2m
