Brunch is something my family and I do for special occasions or when we want to treat ourselves to something special. I decided to bring that special time home (and save a little cash while I was at it (wink))! I knew I wanted grits and eggs – the brisket kinda hit me with a flavor smooth texture kinda BAM – I married the three and POW BAM KABOOM! That was all she wrote! The creaminess from the grits, the melt in your mouth savory flavor of the brisket and the simple but so divine sunny side up egg on top just sent my flavor senses into overload!! I hope you enjoy it as well!
oh yeah baby!
so much love on one plate!!
