"I got deployed down to Louisianna during huricaine Gustav. They loving people of the First baptist Church in Zachery gave us our first cook food in weeks. They made us red beans and rice for two meals a day. They used their own family recipes passed down for generations. I was really happy when I tried this recipe and found that it was so close it brought back the feelings of being down in the south. Thanks to all you FoodNet chefs for coming up with these great recipes.
