Eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s is considered good luck by some. It's the foundation of Po Melvin’s restaurant in Irving.

That is probably what a lot of people are feeling after the past couple of years of living through a pandemic.

LaMane's father, Melvin LaMane II, started Po Melvin's in 1981, selling black-eyed peas from a concession truck. By 1984 they were at the State Fair of Texas. By some accounts, the superstition or tradition in America of eating black-eyed peas for luck started in the Civil War South.LaMane said he can't remember a year when he didn't have black-eyed peas to ring in the New Year for good luck, with cornbread for good measure.
