HOUSTON, TX - From the
green hills
of rural New
Jersey to the demanding
dining rooms of New York
City and from the
thriving culinary scene
of Barcelona, Spain to
the gastronomic artistry
in the
kitchens of
Japan, Executive Chef Raj
Dixit’s career resume
reads more like a
National Geographic
article on culinary
cultures than it does as
a summation of
the young
man’s experience.

The practice of eating
black-eyed peas for luck
is generally believed to
date back to the Civil
War. Today, the tradition
of eating black-eyed peas
for the New Year has
evolved into a number of
variations and
embellishments of the
luck and prosperity theme
including:
Served with greens (collards, mustard or turnip greens, which varies regionally), the peas represent coins and the greens represent paper money. In some areas cabbage is used in place of the greens.
Cornbread, often served with black-eyed peas and greens, represents gold.
For the best chance of luck every day in the year ahead, one must eat at least 365 black-eyed peas on New Year's Day.
