The Public Kitchen & Bar – Savannah, Georgia

Let’s take it back down to the south on this one. I know you see peas in that dish and if you’re like me, you don’t like them. However, these are sweet peas in shrimp and grits so I really do have to give it a pass. A pass meaning I’ll eat it with this dish but not alone though. Could you imagine someone giving you a plate of sweet peas? Lol. That would be a no for me. Anyway, shrimp and grits is one of many staple dishes in some southern tradition. This dish is quite good. I really like the broth that they make it with though. It’s a little spice but it’s really good and the flavor is on point. It’s a sherry cream and don’t ask me what’s in it because I don’t know. All I know is whoever made it was definitely thinking of how shrimp and grits should taste. The grits are a combination of cheddar bacon along with shrimp, chorizo, and tomatoes. I know it may not look like it can be good or filling but it actually is. I think you’ll enjoy it. It’s a nice date scene as well and not too many people since their space isn’t too large. If you’re in town, definitely stop here. I can’t speak for the other items on the menu but the shrimp and grits is a must.
