Right? And what's dirty rice? What makes it dirty?
John Ed LabordeGUEST

Okay, dirty rice is rice dressing.
John Ed LabordeGUEST

So that is kind of a ground pork mixture with the trinity with the onions and everything.
John Ed LabordeGUEST

And that's cooked down to where it's very tender.
John Ed LabordeGUEST
10:07
And it's kind of like a saucy kind of consistency.
John Ed LabordeGUEST
10:10
And then you cook your rice separate and then you mix it.
John Ed LabordeGUEST
10:14
And that's why they call it dirty rice because you have the white rice and the meat on the side.
