Earlier this week, I decided to try to grill salmon on cedar planks. It wasn’t as smokey as I hoped but it was extremely moist and yummy. I had some leftover salmon and leftover cheese grits (made with parmesan cheese and red and yellow peppers onions and jalepenos).
So, I thought, put them together and make a salmon grit cake. I used some bread crumbs and put a tiny amount of oil in the pan. 
I served it with a tomato…
It was delicious.
Really, it’s Gus’s World Famous Hot and Spicy Fried Chicken. So, I was driving by and whoa, how could I not stop?
(The parking lot was packed when I first drove by.) My waitress was super nice. Here it is the truth, this chicken is REALLY GREAT!
It carries the perfect amount of heat. It comes with cole slaw and baked beans but you can substitute a bunch of other sides, mac and cheese, fries, collard greens, fried okra etc…
Apparently there are 3 locations in Atlanta, downtown, Chamblee, and Sandy Springs. This is going to be craveable. It is so, unbelievably good!
I love great trees, but I really love great trees with Spanish Moss on them.
I was going to blog about Bradley Cooper being my copilot. I took these photos and threw some of them out… here are a couple.
Not too cute huh? Too much air in his eye.
Just a little too close and he looks a little crazy. (usually so photogenic)
You gotta love him though! Thanks for riding with me! (We are working on a new project!)

I started out with the grits. I sautéd some jalapeños and green onions in butter. The grits were cooking and I threw the sautéed onions and jalapeños in and continued cooking. I marinated the halibut in olive oil and lemon and dill and garlic for about 1/2 an hour. I chopped up a little cucumber, scallion, and tomato and put some redwine vinegar and a little olive oil and salt and pepper. 
When the grits were done cooking, I put some parmesan, mixed cheese. I didn’t want the cheese to overtake the grits.
So, I put the grits down first on the plate, the Halibut next and finished with the tomato relish/salad. It was unbelievable! The grits weren’t too heavy and cut with the tomato, cucumber onion and the halibut was perfectly light and bright.
