Gumbo

We fell down a rabbit hole of stock images, where every picture of what they call gumbo was worse than the last. Somebody hold us. We need a hug.

A Lafayette man needs answers after finding a Cajun classic in a can.

Over the weekend I attempted to cook my first crawfish pot of gumbo to cook for 50 people. Here is how you do it!

Gumbo is good. Jambalaya is good. But have you heard of Gumbolaya? Hopefully not, because its madness will seep into your very soul and make your heart weep.

Even if it won't be cold enough to see your breath it will still be cooler and a nice reminder that hurricane season can't last forever.

Another food company is attempting to dip its proverbial toe into the bayou of south Louisiana with a Cajun Gumbo and Rice Mix. It's not being well-received by Louisiana folks. It's not pretty.

Gumbo is not soup, and if there's no juice it's just rice and gravy.

Gumbo is literally ingrained in Southern culture, so when people mess with the traditional recipe it tends to make Southerners (particularly Cajuns) very angry.

The best thing about cold weather in south Louisiana is the food! Gumbo is the go-to favorite, but that's just the beginning. We Cajuns know a lot, and we know even more about what tastes good and what warms us up when the temps drop.

Gasp all you want. Yes. I'm Cajun and I buy my roux.
I've never in my life cooked gumbo from a recipe, but being born and raised in Cajun country, I know the first step to any good gumbo is roux. However, early on I learned how inept I was at that particular task...

Have you ever wondered how the Mardi Gras Chicken Run began in Southern Louisiana? Harold Guillory explains it in a way that will make you LOL!

Wow after the Arctic blast of cold air and the sleet and snow we had yesterday, I think a good Chicken and Sausage gumbo is in order!
Never made one?  Are you an expert?  Well here is how I make my gumbo.  See if yours is close to how I make mine.
