Just got back from a weekend in Savannah and I'm still thinking about my shrimp and grits. If you're lookin' for the real deal, not just the tourist traps on River Street, I've got a few hidden gems to share. Been goin' to the same old places for years, but this trip I stumbled upon some new favorites. Anyone else got some off-the-beaten-path recs for the best shrimp and grits in Savannah?
