I have a dear friend in Louisiana who's Uncle Tommy experiments with recipes in his garage. He set up a little cooking area with a stove and counters. He's a good ole' boy who feels he should keep his cooking fantasies (other than BBQing), a secret from the rest of the guys he knows. This is his recipe for just about the best beans one man can make!
