"Hopping John is an iconic Carolina dish, mandatory at New Year’s, of which I’ve never been able to eat more than a few forkfuls—until I tasted Sean’s version."
"Even side dishes, like the Carolina Gold Hoppin' John, can pack a surprising wallop, thanks to artfully placed accents of herbs and citrus."
"This dish was flavorful, light, and the fresh, local ingredients really shined."
"That is Hoppin’ John. When you put it together, you can taste the past. And we deserve to taste that again.”
