For the last Cast Iron Wednesday of 2023, we'll be ringing in the New Year with good old Hoppin' John, a stew of black eyed peas and pork, simmered in a big cast iron pot. The legend of Hoppin' John has been told many different ways -- no one seems to know who John was, while some say the name Hoppin' John is actually based on a French name for this dish. But regardless of how the legend came about, it's an easy and delicious dish that sticks to your ribs and keeps you warm in the coldest winter days and nights, especially on New Year's Day. Come and visit us tonight on YouTube Live at 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, as we make a wish for wealth, peace and prosperity in the coming year ahead.
