Avoid the weekend crowd and indulge in Hominy’s soul-warming breakfast goods on a hungry weekday when only oven-warm “high-rise” biscuits and double-cut bacon will do. Consider the decadence of “The Big Nasty” and savor its fried chicken, cheddar, and sausage gravy goodness. Chef/owner Robert Stehling’s riff on shrimp and grits coddles the crustaceans along with mushrooms, bacon, and cheese in a way that only a James Beard winner can. 207 Rutledge Ave., (843) 937-0930, www.hominygrill.com
