It's about time to say adios to 2011, and after a year like this, we could use every bit of good luck to start off the new year with a bang. Even though we aren't from the South, we are more than willing to celebrate New Year's Eve with a heaping pile of black eyed peas. A scoop of black eyed peas alongside some collards, cornbread, and other soul food staples is also a solid way to chase away the hangover demons on New Year's Day.

Get 'em while they're hot!

Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe has black eyed peas year round and will be open New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, from 10:30 am to 7 pm.

Get (more) peas on earth after the jump.

TEXAZ Grill diners will be getting a pile of black eyed peas with every entree on New Year's Eve, open from 11 am to 10 pm.

LoLo's Chicken and Waffles is ringing in the New Year with a big pot of black eyed peas on New Year's Day, 9 am to 4 pm.

Stacy's Smokehouse has black eyed peas on their regular menu, and will be open New Year's Eve until 4pm for those that need a bit of luck with their lunch.

Hole-in-the-Wall Smokehouse BBQ at the Pointe Hilton is a more upscale option for black eyed peas on New Year's Eve, until 10 pm.
