Summary
New Orleans Red Beans and Rice
New Orleans red beans and rice is an iconic dish in the Crescent City. Today, we talk red beans and rice with Vince Hayward, the CEO of L.H. Hayward & Company.
While that name might not be familiar, nearly every New Orleanian knows their best selling product - Camellia Brand® Red Beans.
Chances are, if you've had a plate of red beans and rice in New Orleans, it was made with Camellia Brand® beans.
We dive deep into red beans, including tips for cooking them and why (we think) generations of New Orleanians have come to expect red beans & rice on Mondays.

So there you go mom. I appreciate the feedback as always |
