I’ve never really liked grits but, after our last trip to St. Louis, I realized the reason I don’t like grits is because I’ve never really had good grits before. Chris Wilson, Brian, and I had breakfast at this place called Songbird<\/a>. It was there that I tasted the best grits I’d ever had.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t look like much but these grits tasted amazing. They were so good, the three of us almost went back there again the next day, except I had to play early in the morning and the restaurant wouldn’t have been open in time. <\/p>\n

Here are pictures of the rest of our food. Brian had a basic breakfast sandwich (above). I had the farm toast with shaved ham and a fried egg.<\/p>\n

Chris had a muffin breakfast sandwich. <\/p>\n

Besides the very photogenic food, the restaurant itself was quite photogenic also with its brightly painted interior. <\/p>\n

Here’s us, waiting for our food with eager anticipation. <\/p>\n

Chris and Brian enjoyed some coffee while we waited. <\/p>\n

Brian, my little coffee connoisseur, said their coffee was pretty good.<\/p>\n

The three of us agreed this restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip. It was a real gem and one heck of a find! <\/p>\n

It was truly a farm to table experience. They grew their own herbs out back and, I’m guessing that the “locally-sourced honey” on the menu came from this beehive. <\/p>\n

I’m so glad that we came across this place while looking for breakfast options that day. I highly recommend checking out Songbird out if you’re ever in the St. Louis area. I plan to return one day, when we go back to claim the bottle of wine we won from our AirBnB host<\/a>. LOL. Until next time, GNG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
