BB & PF

BB&PF is a Nigerian restaurant in Baton Rouge whose name stands for its signature pairing, bean burgers and plantain fries. The bean burger reworks akara, an age-old West African recipe: black-eyed peas are soaked, ground into a paste, seasoned, shaped into patties, then baked or fried and served on a whole wheat bun with all the usual burger dressings. Plantain fries are cut from ripe plantains with nothing added, and guests choose how sweet they want them. The kitchen also makes moin-moin, steamed bean pies, plus jollof rice, coconut rice, and fried rice with shrimp, and fufu or boiled yams with soups like melon, ogbono, peanut, and bitter leaf. It is healthy, filling food meant for everyone, not only vegetarians and vegans.
