In the heart of Brookhaven, Georgia, a culinary revolution is quietly unfolding. Unique Southern Foods LLC, a certified MWBE, under the visionary leadership of Sandy L. Poag, J.D., is spearheading this movement with an offering that marries tradition with modern dietary needs: Grandma Betty’s Premium Yellow Grits. This innovative product not only pays homage to Sandy’s mother and the rich tapestry of Southern cuisine but also represents a significant milestone in the journey towards preserving recipes that have long been the soul of local communities yet are vanishing from our grocery shelves.
Launched on February 2, 2020, Unique Southern Foods LLC stands as a testament to female entrepreneurship and dedication to culinary excellence. As a 100% women-owned business, it embodies resilience and passion for bringing back beloved Southern recipes into contemporary kitchens without compromising on health or flavor.

Boasting a rich, buttery flavor profile that effortlessly complements both savory and sweet dishes, these grits ensure every meal is not just eaten but celebrated. Their versatility shines through in their ability to enhance an array of dishes – from salmon croquettes at breakfast to prime rib dinners and even as an unexpected twist in late-night snacks.
What sets these yellow grits apart is their meticulous adherence to dietary inclusivity. Gluten-free, sugar-free, sodium-free, dairy-free, and plant-based – each grain tells a story of careful consideration for diverse dietary preferences, including vegan and diabetic diets. It’s this commitment that has carved out a niche for Grandma Betty’s Premium Yellow Grits within the culinary world.
The acclaim received by these grits isn’t confined to Brookhaven; it transcends state lines, reaching national recognition at prestigious events such as the 42nd Annual Gourmet Gala, “People’s Choice Award” in Washington, DC. Here, Grandma Betty’s Premium Yellow Grits & Southern Spicy Shrimp Recipe stood out among 50 recipes presented, clinching the “People’s Choice Award” voted on by over 650 guests. This accolade not only underscores the quality and appeal of these grits but also highlights Unique Southern Foods’ potential to redefine American comfort food.
