"The moniker means a little something different to everyone; for me, it means grits. My dad is from the South, and I have wholeheartedly embraced his love for creamy, buttery grits as a salve for just about anything — and the grits at Maxine’s On St. James, a Roxbury restaurant known for its Cajun and Creole cooking, are on another level. My go-to order, the shrimp and grits, are 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." - Erika Adams
