Launching Louisiana's first Red Beans & Rice Trail

Red beans and rice at Napolean House in New Orleans, one of the "Champions" of the new Red Beans and Rice Trail. It’s easy, it’s cheap, it’s versatile, and it’s full of heart. Louisiana’s Monday culinary tradition of red beans and rice is practiced in home kitchens across the region, as well as in many of the state’s finest restaurants. The dish is an everyman’s dish, and it has layers of culture and history simmered into its flavors. In September, Camellia Beans and Cajun Country Rice launched Louisiana’s first ever Red Beans and Rice Trail, honoring public culinary institutions ranging from truck stops to fine dining establishments where the tradition lives on. The path is being paved by chef and author Toya Boudy, who is traveling across Louisiana throughout the fall to name twenty “Trail Champions” and taste their recipes. As of press time, twelve destinations have been selected, starting with the home of the Krewe of Red Beans, Beanlandia, and moving on to iconic spots like Dooky Chase’s in New Orleans, Hurst’s Restaurant and Seafood in Jefferson Parish, Triplets Blue Store in Baton Rouge, Chicken’s Kitchen in Harvey, and more. Follow along on Boudy’s Instagram @toyaboudy and Facebook, or at beansandricetrail.com.
