Catfish, Grits, and Crawfish. It Doesn't Get Much More Southern Than That

Crispy fried catfish topped with a decadent crawfish in Cajun spiced cream sauce all on a bed of creamy old-fashioned grits and finished with fresh tomatoes and chives (from the garden). Throw in some fresh kale chips kale chips for just a little bit of crunch (and to pretend we're being healthy here) and you've got a dish I am very proud of I must say. What's not to like and with all that to go with it, how can this not win The Picky Eater over to grits - or at least move the needle a little?
