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.

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.
