I choose red beans and rice because it is a dish me and my dad make together. It is a cajon dish and from New Orleans, where my dad is from. I also like to make this dish because it is darn good. This is a delicious dish that is somewhat easy to make and yummy to eat. I enjoy making and want others to enjoy it too, as long as they don't mess the recipe up.
