Personal Notes:
Kelly was a cook at one of my dad's restaurants before I was born. As a teenager I worked at a grocery store and would have lunch at Kelly's diner. I would brag on his food and he would always give me big servings. Kelly would tell me stories about my dad. My dad died when I was six and I knew only what my mom told me. I looked forward to lunch at Kelly's.

This is not Spanish rice; it is red rice, a low country staple.
