Hoppin John: Boardwalk Empire


Hoppin John
There was a mention of a Hoppin John dish on the TV show Boardwalk Empire.  Being curious, I quickly went to the Google and looked it up, because I had no idea what it was. 
From the wiki page, it states that a Hoppin' John dish is comprised of rice, beans, onions and bacon. And, it came out of West Africa, but is very popular in the South of the US. The dish is also used as a “good luck” dish for New Year's Day.
After reading the description I looked everywhere in the local store for some Hoppin John, but couldn't find it. I did buy some Cajun rice dishes though.
