I'm in Kentucky and the first time I had Hoppin Johns was at a local restaurant. They did not use hog jowl or bacon, but ground pork sausage. I liked it so well I got the recipe. They also used a substantial amount of butter, It is absolutely delicious and I fix it several times a year. Hoppin Johns is not just for New Years!
