In Restaurants
Zatarain's offers dirty rice as one of its boxed dinners. This rice does not have pieces of chicken liver in it and uses soy sauce to achieve the desired color. Zatarain's suggests adding a blend of ground beef, sausage, and finely chopped chicken giblets for a more robust flavor. However, many prefer to grind the giblets to evenly distribute the flavor and mask the texture of the chewier giblets like the heart and gizzard. Locals recommend to grind the liver once or twice, the hearts twice at least and the gizzard three to four times depending on preference.
Bojangles' Cajun Fried Chicken restaurants serve dirty rice as a side dish. For many years, dirty rice has been an offering on the menu of the New Orleans-themed Popeye's Fried Chicken restaurants. However, recent years have seen the chain change the name of the dish to "Cajun rice," desiring perhaps to avoid connotations of uncleanliness on the product's part.

Famous quotes containing the word restaurants:
“As the global expansion of Indian and Chinese restaurants suggests, xenophobia is directed against foreign people, not foreign cultural imports.”
—Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)
“In the United States all business not transacted over the telephone is accomplished in conjunction with alcohol or food, often under conditions of advanced intoxication. This is a fact of the utmost importance for the visitor of limited funds ... for it means that the most expensive restaurants are, with rare exceptions, the worst.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
