Drew Brees Eats Red Beans and Rice on Mondays With His Neighbors When Drew and Brittany Brees first moved to New Orleans, obviously there was quite a bit of history and many local traditions they needed to learn. Drew's neighbor at the time was savvy enough to use the tradition of eating red beans and rice on Mondays as a way to meet the new quarterback for the Saints. Little did they know that would turn into a tradition that would continue for years to come. When Steve and Kathy Price learned that Drew Brees was going to be their new neighbor, they clearly got excited and starting thinking of what would be the right way to meet him.
