When chef/owner Robert Stehling of Hominy Grill won the Best Chef Southeast in 2008, it marked a shift in the Southern dining world. He didn’t win it with high-falutin’ French-inspired techniques or white tablecloth service but rather by serving classic Southern cooking — including breakfast — in a neighborhood restaurant setting. Stehling has since expanded the building and put a little more emphasis on evening dinner service, but the qualities that made Hominy Grill such a hit remain. That means hearty country breakfasts with pancakes, eggs, stone-ground grits, and house-made sausage plus the legendary “Big Nasty” biscuit with a massive fried chicken breast and a cascade of sausage gravy. At lunch and dinner, you can make a satisfying meal just from the ever-rotating selection of Southern veggies, but that would mean passing on Stehling’s superior versions of traditional dishes like Country Captain and Lowcountry purloo and on the always-novel products of his smoker, too, like barbecued lamb and goat. Sure, the tourists still queue up on the weekends for their big Southern brunches, but there’s a reason so many people are waiting in line. —Robert Moss Dish (Winter 2013)
