The Napa Café Shrimp & Grits is often compared to a similar dish from Flight Restaurant & Wine Bar. Napa Café's interpretation is distinct due to its demi-glace made with shiitake mushrooms and pancetta, which introduces an Italian and Asian influence to the Southern classic. The dish pairs well with a medium-bodied Chardonnay, whose acidity can complement the creamy grits and pancetta.
