Should we have put butter on the grits? 😅

Its not chicken and waffles unless there is syrup poured all over it.

I have noticed a lot of different Brit food reactors don't use the syrup enough....YES, drench it!!

I love James and Millie and it is so hard watching them eat. They need an American chaperone or guide next time,

Am I the only one who gets anxiety by watching them struggle to eat properly. 😮😂

Hey Brits, ask the server how to eat it. The butter goes on the grits, not on the chicken and the waffles. And you drench the chicken with that whole cup of syrup, it should go all over it, so it soaks down into the waffle. Then the waffle gets a little soggy with the syrup, that is how it's done in America.

USE SYRUP ON THE CHICKEN AND WAFFLES! YOUR KILLING ME!

This video ought be renamed " How not to eat grits with chicken and waffles" 😂

Eating grits alone would be like eating toast with nothing on it . It’s more of a carrier for the things you want on it.

I notice that when Brits try grits, they put nothing on them. You need to put salt, butter, and some pepper on them. You could have tried some gravy on it. Some people add shredded cheese.

Butter goes in the grits, butter.......

The correct answer to "Do you have enough syrup?" is "No, please bring me some more."

When traveling in the US, feel free to ask servers what they recommend, how to prep the food, etc.

The grits need salt, pepper and butter, at the very least, and preferably cheese too. You can always order unsweetened tea, and add the amount of sugar you like.

Now eat beans and toast with 2 beans😂

One of these days they're going to learn how to use Condiments. 😆 To be fair they put the syrup on the waffles later. Not enough probably, but some.

Grits are like oatmeal or other porridges in that they're meant to be dressed with something - some people make them sweet, others savory. But you gotta season them. Butter, salt. Chives, bacon, sugar, cheese...*anything*. It's just ground corn hominy rendered down.

between the IHOP trip and this, please dear lord learn your lesson and USE THE TOPPINGS!!! there is butter there for the grits, a little cup of gravy for the chicken fried bacon, the syrup isn't for looks.... we keep it separate so you can use as much or as little as you lke but its still meant to be used! color me not shocked at all, they ate it bone dry. do you eat spaghetti without the sauce first?

They never use the sauces, dips, etc...they dont dress the food

add some salt, pepper and butter to those grits. The syrup goes over the chicken & waffles.

Follow Anthony Bourdain's advice. Wherever you go ask the hotel staff where they go to eat and drink.

Grits are just stone grounded corn. Usually eaten with butter, cheese, sal and pepper.

I believe majority of the people who eat grits, automatically adds salt, pepper, and butter. It's the same with potatoes and rice. If I eat bland rice, its always with a salty or seasoned meat.

UK: Won the spice wars UK Citizens: refuse to use spices on food.

2 things... Drench in syrup until it's 5 times as much as you think you should use. Then do that again. Butter in the Grits not on the chicken.

I dont want to say you ate it wrong but...that was a bit painful to watch lol

They literally put the butter on the chicken....I cant!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You can get unsweet cold tea too.

Grits and Biscuits are simply vehicles. Buttter, gravy, bacon, shrimp, sausage,

I believe you're suppose to put the butter all over the waffle and then put the syrup on top of the chicken and the waffle❤

The butter is for the waffles huns

WOOHOO! It's James' Mom, again! She has fully embraced "Texan" culture!! Love it!

Smother that chicken and waffles with syrup.

Butter, salt & (usually a bunch of) black pepper in the grits. Drench the entire chicken & waffles in syrup, and add dashes of hot sauce as needed

Grits should be eaten with butter, salt, and pepper if you’re having plain.

Drench it in syrup..........

I felt like screaming "Dip the bacon in the syrup"...lol. When we eat grits, we almost never eat them as served, I know I like to doctor mine up. Sometimes I like butter and syrup in them, others salt and butter. Great video, thanks for sharing

Butter, salt, and black pepper on the grits (if you want savory). Or, cheesy. Or if you want it a bit sweet, a little brown sugar.

You need to try grits with butter, cheese, a little bacon, and shrimp. Grits are very good.

I read most of the other comments so I'm not gonna repeat what they said but I will add that I like to make some over easy eggs and chop them and mix them into my grits with salt and pepper

Butter, salt and pepper goes on the grits. Let the butter melt then stir a bit. You need to put the syrup on the chicken and waffle. Otherwise it’s too dry.

While the Grits are hot, put butter in it. Also, salt to taste.

Missed opportunity to "Lady and the Tramp" the fried bacon, lol.

Hopefully you use syrup!!! Not a drip! LOL NO don't just eat plain grits - needs salt, pepper and butter at least!!! Even a bit of the gravy!! Chicken and waffles is not meant to be eaten "as is" - it is truly supposed to have syrup all over it!!

If they dont use syrup i cant watch this time.

They didn’t use a grain of salt, a speck of pepper or more than a tiny drip of syrup 😂😂😂😂

7:32 Good job Millie! Drench it in syrup! Even better if it was maple syrup but pancake syrup works just as well. ❤

Grits are ground corn.

I clicked off after watching you all eating grits. I can't watch another video of you all eating food incorrectly. Ask the waitress!

Friends, the butter goes in the grits! Really helps the flavor.

Grits is one of those food items you can customize to your pallet you can add salt,butter, cheese even where im from lousiana, Shrimp and grits is very popular some people like the sweet side and add sugar, honey butter and so on im a savory pallet type of person myself.

I love grits with some butter, crumbled bacon and salt and pepper! Yummmmm 🤗🤗🤗

Sorry kiddos, since you don't know how to eat the items ask the server.

The best food ever 💪🤘😎 Butter , salt & pepper on Grits... this gave me anxiety 😬 😫 😅😅

1:15 nooo that’s not we tell you about grits! we tell you to season them, and put some butter on em! 😂😂

Grits on their own are too bland. You definitely need to add butter and/or cheese.

Gotta butter your grits

The diner near me that serves chicken and waffles also serves it with strawberry butter and the maple syrup or spicy maple syrup.

The only way I'm eating that is first covering the chicken in hot sauce and then covering it all in maple syrup.

Milie is correct. That cream gravy is magical!! It is good on everything. You are officially American. lol

That little cup with a blob of butter is supposed to go in the grits! With pepper and a little salt, I probably would have cut up some of that bacon and added that too. We never eat grits plain.

They dry dog everything! You need to take Condiments 101.

Don't listen to everyone bashing you for not drenching something over a dish you don't even know if you'll like or not. I'm American, I'm not a huge syrup fan, and I enjoy chicken and waffles just fine. There are no rules for how to try something new. Enjoy!

I eat my grits like oatmeal. Top with sugar and milk. Yum.

grits + butter, salt and pepper - nothing better! add a little brown sugar if it's breakfast time (and it's always breakfast time somewhere in the world!)

Guys, noooo!! Syrup on pancakes and chicken and waffles. It’s on the table for a reason. Pancakes without syrup should be an arrest-able offense 😂😂😂😂😂

Grits are best freshly warm (do not let them go cold as they will harden) with butter (especially butter cream if you can) and sugar. Eat them like cream of wheat.

I've never had chicken and waffles together before. I can't wait to see what you think of them.

For grits: usually you’d put salt and eggs in it. To make it even better add cheese and meat like sausage or bacon. I mix all that together really well and it’s delicious…. also you can put it on grape jelly toast. SO GOOD! Don’t let anyone tell you to put sugar on your grits. That’s people that didn’t know how to eat it and figured they’d add sugar to make it taste better.

The butter goes in the waffle then the syrup . So the butter melts . Delicious

I have eaten grits all my life and 2 things are an absolute must....BUTTER AND SALT.

How to eat Grits 101: there are a few methods. Option 1) if you order plain grits add lots of butter, salt and black pepper. You’ll know it’s enough butter when the grits turn lightly yellow. You can eat it with eggs and/or bacon or sausage instead of eating it alone. 2) Order cheese grits. Typically you get it with cheddar or American cheese but you can get fancy if you want. The grits should be very cheesy and yellow color throughout. If the restaurant only adds a slice of cheese on top of plain grits MIX the cheese in so it’s evenly distributed. Every bite should be cheesy. Again can be eaten with eggs, sausage or bacon. Add salt and pepper to taste. 3) Just get shrimp and grits but only at a good quality Cajun/Creole or Louisiana restaurant. Or just order it in New Orleans. This type is already seasoned and shouldn’t need anything added to it.

Lots of butter and pepper in my grits, but hold the syrup on my chicken. Just not raised that way. If I want a sweetened fried chicken I'll have General Tso's.

Butter and salt on grits, for me!! ...and, SYRUP on the chicken & waffles!! :) HUGS, YA'LL!!!

Grits ( to me) needs to be seasoned with butter and salt. Cheese is also nice. Also if you eat it with a bite of your protein which also help to season the grits.

with chicken and waffles. you can drizzle syrup over it to make it better. or like here, you can use country (white, pepper) gravy on it... either works.

Never, ever eat grits without at least some butter! A little sugar added with the butter is good, too.

Next time get waffles with bacon on the INSIDE of the waffle. Then put peanut butter and maple syrup on it...HEAVEN!!

"I'm not offering this to you first, I'm just going for it." Hahaha

To eat grits, you have to put it with the egg and the egg yokes with salt and pepper.

Ask for extra syrup add it and butter to the grits. And syrup goes with the chicken and waffles

Butter the waffle then put the chicken on the waffle and cover both with syrup... a lot of syrup 😊

Chicken and waffles is something I've seen around the Midwest from time to time, but generally never ordered. We did prepare it a couple times when I worked in a hospital cafe. But I never ordered it myself until I had it in Fairbanks Alaska and it was DELICIOUS. For grits I generally treat it like it's cream of wheat, which I personally have more exposure to. They aren't the same thing, but they are fairly similar. I like adding fruit, chopped or slivered nuts, and a little sweetness like honey.

You would never know watching Brits eat American food that their ancestors brought fried chicken (the Scots) and Pancakes (the English) or Waffles (French/upper class and English) to America. As well as hundreds of other dishes...which, I might add, were improved upon in the States.

I've always said that in the South there's rarely a wrong way to eat food. We might add 4 different sauces to a meal, or mix our veggies into a bowl of pasta. Grits are the exception to the rule. The only wrong way to eat grits is by putting nothing in it. American servers do not mind if you ask them questions about the food like what's the best way to try the grits ? LOL Grits are meant to be a conduit for other things. My personal favorite is cheese butter salt pepper and crumbled up crispy bacon, all stirred together. Some people want their grits sweet so they use just sugar or butter and sugar. Most everybody I know put butter in their grits. I've seen people put hot sauce in them. So next time you order grits be bold.. do you and try some flavors you like in your grits. By the way those grits look like they were prepared perfectly. Overcooked grits are often sticky and lumpy undercooked grits are usually runny and coarse.. fluff and soft we're just a little bit of texture is just right imo. Some people mix in their eggs, pieces of sausage and cheese. With blueberries I've seen people put fresh blueberries in their grits.

Put some butter on the grits and let it melt in the grits, then mix it in.

Bless your hearts. Everyone is scolding you. My advice...when in doubt, simply smother it in whatever condiment is offered.

Chicken and Waffles with syrup is SERIOUS breakfast flavor happening. That’s yummy. I’ve only had that twice for breakfast and it was delicious. Definitely a speciality food.

with grits you need to add a couple pats of butter, a few pinches of salt and some kind of protein (crumbled bacon, cubed ham, crumbled sausage, or even shrimp). DON'T use milk in it as that's for oatmeal, not grits.. many in the Northern areas like to use milk, but don't do that. some people like cheese, but I don't prefer it... also, many believe that the name comes from the texture (gritty) but that's not true. it comes from the type of grounding at the mill that happens to produce it... 'grit' ground.

Ya'll should have put that butter, salt, and pepper on the grits (that's why there was a small cup of butter on your plate) butter makes everything better, lol

Mashed potatoes with milk gravy and fried chicken . That’s the sweet spot . With biscuits !

Chicken and waffles is traditionally served with the chicken on top of the waffle, hot sauce over the chicken, and syrup over the hot sauce. That's the way the dish was originally made by the Pennsylvania Dutch.

I like to break up bacon in my grits :) That Chicken and Waffles looks amazing!

Think your Mom should put her 2 cents worth in , she seems cool !

You have to piy butter in the grits and you can add cheese to it,or salt and pepper to it also.

James has really been going for the BIG bits in the last few videos lol

Butter on the chicken is new 🧇🍗

Oh, Lord🤦🏻‍♀️ You’ve gone and done it now……stirred the South up with the grits abuse😂

Plain grits??? The butter is right there….!

On my grits, I like cheese and also with maple syrup.
