When we were developing the items to feature on our “ Amazing Breakfast Buffet”, we knew that we would have the basics; eggs , potatoes, pancakes and sausages. But we also wanted to include some more unique items, including one that we enjoyed on our winter road trips down south – Sausage Gravy and biscuits!
Many a salesman tried to convince Tony that the gravy should be made the easy way, with a pre-made mix: “just add milk”. This didn’t satisfy us. Instead, Tony set to work, and with a little trial and error he found the perfect recipe for this southern specialty! Like everything at Laura and Tony’s, it is prepared fresh and from scratch.
At first people were very skeptical. Then it became so popular, we made it a buffet staple!
Our success with the gravy inspired us to expand our menu even further with Southern Specialties. Tony’s father John, an avid hiker, inspired us to create a meal that sticks to your ribs and gives you energy all day long. One of his favorite breakfasts while hiking was grits; a southern breakfast staple.
The grits we serve are no ordinary grits. My husband makes them with the same love reserved for a creamy polenta, adding caramelized green onions, ham, or andouille sausage with caramelized red onion. And, of course, always finished with Cabot Cheddar Cheese, and more importantly, always delicious!!
We know have people coming in and asking when the grits will make it to the buffet. I wonder what we will think of next to add to our “ Amazing Breakfast Buffet”? Come in and give our southern specialties a try, and suggest anything else you’d like to see on our menu!
