Cooking dinner at home. We like Asian food on NYE, so I'm thinking about cooking Hong Kong style grouper with rice. Our daughter and son-in-law will go to Red Bar. Hubby and I will stay home and watch movies. Then we'll pick up the kids and celebrate NYE at midnight together.

Any restaurants serving blackeyed peas, collard greens, and hog jowl on New Years Day?
