Absolutely LOVE the Pink Teacup!!! My best friend turned me on about two years ago and I have been a diehard fan EVER SINCE!!! Their apple and corn fritters are THE BOMB!!!! Great place to eat anytime of day. The last time I was there, we ran into Dave Chapelle.

love pink teacup!!! Many years ago when I first ate there, Keith Haring was there enjoying a plate of something delicious as well. It was a great meal.

Isn't it spelled "chitterlings" but pronounced "chitlins"? Just a thought.

Do any of the PT naysayers have any recommendations for Southern dining? I've tried Jacques-Imo's and Chat n Chew. They are adequate but there must be better places in town.

I couldn't agree more w/ my fellow southerners. Pink Teacup doesn't live up to the hype. Dry biscuits, bitter sweet tea and grits straight from the package.

Anna's friends are right. And if you are one of the credulous food slummers who suck into the ridiculous hype about this overrated slophouse, make sure you bring a spatula along to scrape off the layer of grease your skin will be coated with after you "authentic" dining "experience."

I live near the Pink Teacup and wanted so badly for it to be delicious. While I love their biscuits and have a hard time finding comparable grits, nearly everything I've had for dinner there is a letdown. Sorry to say.

You know, it always cracks me up when someone spells out "chitterlings" - it's CHITLINS, y'all! Sounds like a great joint and I'll definitely check it out. But do they meet this Arkansas girl's standards for a Southern restaurant: good pan-fried catfish and chicken fried steak?

I love the Pink Teacup! I had dinner with my cousin the first summer I lived here in NYC.

Amen! The Pink Teacup has great lunch specials too. They'll serve you a 5 course meal for only $7. You can't beat that.
