The Goat Cheese Grits Poppers, a new menu item at Tupelo Honey, are presented as three generous cubes of deep-fried grits, topped with a smoked jalapeno suace and apple salsa. We paired it with another new selection, shaved Brussels sprouts salad, topped with honey vinaigrette.If You Go

Tupelo Honey has been feeding the Scenic City at Warehouse Row since September 2013, but last week the modern Southern eatery rolled out a revamped menu.
My lovely fiancée and I decided to swing in and try out the new items – and to see what else the restaurant tossed out with the old yellow plates.
Don’t worry: The complimentary biscuits with wildberry jelly and the namesake honey are still a thing (now served on white dishes). And I was glad to still see my go-to fried chicken BLT, which I recommend eating only on days when afternoon productivity levels can afford to wane.
