Eat This: Trout over Grit Cakes at The Muddled Pig Gastropub

Editor's Note: The Muddled Pig has closed

Trout over Grit Cakes, aka the best brunch dish at The Muddled Pig Gastropub, doesn’t need a runny yolk for richness. Instead, Saturday night’s grits become Sunday’s obsession after they’re sliced and fried. The crunchy, luscious rounds are topped with fresh greens and a generous scoop of cool, creamy house-smoked trout salad. With a final flourish of brittle, salty trout skin, who needs a poached egg?
