Yay for Restaurant Week! Cypress Restaurant
Shrimp & Grits Appetizer at Cypress, Charleston, S.C.
Restaurant week is such a good deal and allows you to try restaurants that might normally strain your budget.We meant to just get a snack and drink at the bar but the restaurant week menu at Cypress was so tempting we couldn't refuse. Yum. Shrimp & grits, pork belly. Oh my.
Dang. Wish we had people who knew their way around grits up here in NY. Best breakfast I ever had was in a truck stop in North Carolina. We were on a road trip, coming back from visiting my mom. Eggs, and grits, and bacon, and biscuits. Literally made me want to weep with joy.
Even though grits and pork belly are not on this northerner's usual menu, it looks so good I would give it a try. So long as you promised to eat up any that I left behind.
What a delicious-looking medley of food!
ReplyDeleteKate, It was a treat! We didn't have reservations but not everyone knows that Cypress has a bar upstairs where you can get the full menu.

ReplyDeleteI didn't used to be a fan but I love good shrimp and grits. I can make a pretty good batch myself!
DeleteMmmmm. Grits and ... well, anything! :D What a delicious looking array of food, Joan.
ReplyDeleteRestaurant week makes it possible to try places that are normally more expensive treats. It was yummy.
DeleteI'm not a big fan of grits, but I love shrimp and grits!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that yummy-looking dessert in the last picture? I have no idea what it is, yet it makes me drool.
I do too!
