"For me, grits are the ultimate comfort food, and the grits at Maxine’s On St. James in Roxbury are on another level. My go-to order is the shrimp and grits, doused in a peppery, herby sauce that warms me to my core, and by some alchemy the takeout version doesn’t clump up during travel. Maxine’s is known for its Cajun and Creole cooking and delivers exactly the creamy, buttery solace I crave." - Erika Adams
