Flip Flops for Food?

Yes, that's right....but not the way you think! As many know, our family's vacation spot is New Smyrna Beach, FL; and this is b/c years ago Adam's Great Aunt Esther bought a condo on the beach and now it's his parents, so we are lucky enough to have a "family" condo that we can all use and enjoy immensely. This past April during my mother-in-law, Jeryl's, vacation there she had lunch at one of her favorite restaurants, Flip Flops, which happens to be where Hell's Kitchen Season 5 winner, Danny Veltri, is the head chef!!!! During that lunch, she and her friend had this amazing bean dip and luckily Jeryl was able to recreate it and bring it home to us:)

2 cans black eyed peas- drained
