Q: My wife and I are fans of the mountain trout served at Aspens. It is accompanied with a side of grits that seems to be different from any other we have had. We would be most interested in getting the recipe for the grits.
--- Edward Tarter, Marietta
A: It seems as though Atlantans never tire of cheese grits, and each restaurant offers a slightly different version to keep their regulars coming back for more. Aspens' managing partner, Jimmy Huch, was glad to provide the restaurant's signature recipe, which goes together in a flash for a quick, delicious side dish. As always when making grits, use caution, because they can splatter while cooking.
