You do realize in the south that is pretty generic?
Not generic enough for roadie to pick up on what B&G stood for.
FWIW, this restaurant by no means holds itself out to be a Southern cuisine place anyway. It's a new hipster joint, plain and simple. I won't get into whether that's SEC-like or not (cough, Athens GA, cough cough) but its by no means the most country/down home cooking type spot CoMo has to offer. Just the only place where you can eat a Butch Jones.

Did someone say pancakes?

When I was growing up in Columbia MO, and I have no idea if this slang was used anywhere at all in the world other than my town/high school, we used to refer to countryish type people who literally lived on the far Southern end of town (past Rock Bridge) as "grits."
I don't know that it was necessarily derisive, just a way that "country, rural, drawl, pick up driving" etc was connoted. "He's a grit." My girlfriend at the time fit fully into the "grit" category, and she was hawt, so I didn't mind. Hell she was a big influence as to how I wound up in Nashville.

Thanks for the warning
So as far as the best local cuisine, how about the Top 5 hole in the wall mom and pop joints?

I expected to see:
A breakfast pancake burrito that is advertised as one of the best ever burritos whose recipe was recently rediscovered and is created from all of the best pancake mix money can buy... but when the plate shows up at your table, there is nothing there but an IOU taped to the dish.

Florida probably is more Yankee than Missouri at this point.

Youtube is getting bad. I had to watch a 30 second commercial before I could watch the 30 second video.

Hell roadie's one of those handles where nothing would shock me. I would actually root for that to be true.

No one in the South says let's go get some B and G, yee haw. It's let's go grab some breakfast (B and G are assumed to be present and fresh) and then yee haw.
I learned that Yankee hipsters refer to frozen biscuits and canned gravy and B and G now. Every day I'm learnin'.

Again, creamy grits are listed right at the top of the menu as one of the side items.

McDonald's doesn't have gravy, do they? Did they start serving canned gravy? Who the hell eats at McDonald's?

You have no idea what you are talking about.
BTW, Grits are fricking awful and sweet tea is horrible as well.
