With the unicorn trend showing no sign of slowing down, a newly opened restaurant in Charleston has begun serving up a rose-hued breakfast dubbed 'Unicorn Grits.' A sparkly take on a Southern staple, the new dish is just as pretty as it is tasty.
Unicorn Grits is a wholesome breakfast option that is exclusively available from the brunch spot Millers All Day. The dish is the brainchild of Greg Johnsman, who discovered that he could create rose-hued grits by using pink kernels purchased from a farmer who selectively breeds red corn The color is completely natural and there is no dye, no crunchy bran, or any other additives used.
Available in dishes such as the restaurant's collards-and-brisket grit bowl or for in-store purchase, the grits are a colorful new way to enjoy a beloved comfort food.
