BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - In order to start off the new year right, legend has it that you should eat certain foods on New Year’s Day to have good luck for the rest of the year.
For generations, families have been enjoying New Year’s Day meals that consist of black-eyed peas, cornbread, oxtail, greens and more, all with the notion that these dishes will bring good luck for the rest of the year.
It is a tradition with which Tommy Durens, owner of Shannon’s Cafe in Bryan, is very familiar. He and his family make sure to cook up this menu every New Year’s Day.
According to Durens, greens like mustard greens or collard greens bring prosperity, and black-eyed peas are lucky.
Durens likes to pair these dishes with hogs maws, chitterlings, and oxtail.
“We have the oxtail, and that’s another staple of the African American community,” said Durens. “We usually have them around the New Year.”
Shannon’s Café is located at 601 San Jacinto Lane in Bryan.
Shannon’s Cafe is currently closed for the holiday season but will reopen on Jan. 11. Shannon’s will resume their normal business hours of Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
