217 Comfort Food Week takes place from Dec. 9-15, featuring homemade classics such as chicken and noodles, shepherd's pie, country fried steak, southern chicken and dumplings and more. Or for something a little more adventurous, try shrimp n' grits with blackened shrimp tossed in a Cajun cream sauce and served over white cheddar grits, or clem boi fried chimi - smoked brisket, carnitas and grilled chicken stuffed and deep fried served over a bed of cheesy rice.
