We are deeply honored that Ruth Reichl recently featured McEwen & Sons in her newsletter, La Briffe.
Her discovery of our grits came through a Southern-food chain we are especially proud of: chef Robert Stehling’s search for proper grits, Garden & Gun's guide, and the longtime support of Birmingham chef Frank Stitt.
Ruth called our stone-burr-ground grits “the real deal,” and also gave a kind nod to our cornmeal. For a small family mill in Wilsonville, Alabama, that means a great deal.
