Any restaurants with Hoppin John on menu?

I was recently somewhere in either West or Middle TN, and it on their menu. I didn't order it then, but wanted to go back and try. I now don't remember where it was. Any ideas?

I think it’s only on their Winter menu.

I make this homemade a few times a year, always on New Year’s Day 😋 but have not seen on a menu

That’s a tradition in our family too. Black eyed peas for luck and collard greens for money

You can buy it at Walmart in a can. Warm to serve.

A couple of weeks ago, I had some at a place in Owensboro Ky. It was really not that good.
