Epicurean Kentuckian: Just Grits for Breakfast 2011-07-12 - Columbus, OH - Photo by Pen. An order of grits for breakfast, from Skillet, a cool urban diner in Columbus. These had white cheddar and roast pork on top, elevating the otherwise humble breakfast to something quite a bit more indulgent. If you go: Skillet, 400 E. Whittier ST. (MAP), for just grits for breakfast, the trip is, owing to the route one takes, just 296 miles, a little over six hours, from the Hat Racked Tree, 300 quadrant of the Public Square, Columbia, KY.
