Pro pro tip. Cure and smoke your own bacon. Cut off the pelical off when you’re ready to cut slices. Cut the pelical into big chunks. Using this is best for longer timed dishes as it retains more smoke flavour over longer periods.
man. it's hard to find someone so adept at such a wide variety of local specific foods, and does grey w8th them. TY for paying the lowcountry some live, and thank you for all the great recipes
I have lived in South Carolina all my life, mostly the upstate, and I have never had hoppin john. Will have to try this recipe! =)
Nope, this is eating by pretty much every deep south person, regardless of skin tone. I say southern comfort food, you call it what you like.
This looks really good. I'd just wish for some cornbread ta go with it 😋.
Just made this using your recipe today. I live in California, so I ordered some red peas and Carolina Gold rice from Anson Mills. Substituted shredded smoked turkey neck for the bacon, and used some rendered duck fat in place of the bacon grease. OH MY MY….SO GOOD! Keep these videos coming PLEASE Chef Billy..
Hi! Just finished making this dish! Used black eyed peas instead of cow peas and added some Turkey Smoked sausage into the mixture. It's soooooo good! My mom and grandmother would have been very proud to taste this! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I made this last week and it came out perfectly! My stepdad said that he hasn’t had a good Southern meal like that in a long time. Thank you for all the delicious recipes!!
I like ham hocks instead of bacon. That's how it was made when I was a kid.
This is great!! Thank you
Chef Billy, this looks very inviting. I love the additions. Thanks
Happy New Year from the Blue Mountains Australia 🇦🇺
Mr. p, this look delicious I’m going to try it thank you God Bless 🙏
Cant wait to try this! You have a cook book out yet?!
I’ve got to try this
Chef: “BILLY PICK UP 4 RICE”
Billy: “the pantry commis fucked up the mirepoix, it’s a brunoise, and the peas are fucked”
Chef: “HOW LONG?”
Billy: “bout an hour, I’ll make it happen”
Best recipe for Hoppin John’s I’ve ever seen. Def gonna give this a try. That serving bowl is cool too. Happy New Year
Really good, this looks indeed very appetizing!
Looks amazing! Never as excited as now to eat those collard greens! Will definitely try this easy yummy recipe! Thanks, Chef! 🤙
This is definitely Southern comfort food at its finest! 🤤
fixing mine right now…here in the hot weather of South Carolina! I use red field peas as in Gullah tradition as well, not black eyed peas. Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year!
Sorry Chef, but you confuse me with the way you say you’re making a traditional hopin john and then add in your own take and say that’s the way we do it. I am not hating on you just letting you know. I have a ton of respect and love for you brother just disagree on adding collards to hopin john.
Love your video my friend.
Nice! We do black eyed peas. However many you eat=how much $ you will receive that year.
Looks amazing chef! Please keep the videos coming
I made my pot of peas yesterday for today. Always tastes better the next day.
Looks great cuz. Keep up the good work
Can I use chicken or mutton instead of bacan ?
Southerners in VA use black eyed peas.
