re: Potential food board blasphemy: Red Beans and Rice is extremely overrated

Jambalaya is the most overrated Louisiana food to me. The process of cooking it and the amount of people it will feed is great. The food itself is just ok.

Yep. I'd grab a good bowl of red/white beans with sausage, tasso, etc over jambalaya every single time.

White beans > red beans

You're going to get a ton of shite for your OP, but I agree. Red beans and rice is simply a stubborn leftover from a time in which making a dish that required very little attention was a Monday necessity.

$9+tax at The Chimes, being that's one place mentioned earlier in this thread. I've seen it higher; I've seen it lower. But, that's generally about what I've seen for a full meal portion.

If you are paying that much for a single portion, you're doing it wrong. Make it at home for a fraction of the cost per person

I'm not paying that much. I don't make it at home, because in the time spent cooking it, I could have cooked any number of dishes I would enjoy far more

I am going to do some in the slow cooker just because my son asked. I am not excited, but am curious to see how it turns out.

Nope

I would say the best red beans I've ever had rank up there with the best steak I have ever had.

Here is a much better (estimated) calculation of cost
For 6 portions:
Beans = $1.90
Smoked Meat = $3.50
Trinity = $1.00
Seasonings = $0.03
Rice = $0.40
Total food cost = $6.83
Power cost calculation:
1500 watts for 2.5 hrs @ $0.10/kWh
Total Power Cost Electricity = $0.38
