"The owners of Mount Pleasant’s Grace & Grit will add a lunch restaurant named The Grit Counter this week. The new midday addition takes over the former Welkin Coffee space at 320 Wingo Way. Manager Eli Kline told Eater a bit more about the decidedly Southern menu. The bowls range from “The Self-Respecting Southerner” with smoked pecan grits, fried chicken, collard greens, and tomato jam to the “The Two Southeasterns” with creamy grits, pho broth, pickled collards, shaved onions, bacon, and a fried egg. Non-grit bowl items include a Southern egg salad sandwich, an oyster po’ boy, she crab soup, a grilled Caesar salad, and more. Once open, The Grits Counter will serve lunch patrons on Monday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m." - Erin Perkins
