  1. As a person who was born and raised in Louisiana as soon as I he said bacon fat and I seem okra Im out! Nothing traditional or Louisiana about that stew! It’s a stew not a traditional Louisiana gumbo! Eventhough there’s 7 different types of gumbos. This one was a stew

  2. I had given up on making gumbo because I can never get my roux dark enough because I'm concerned about burning it. I even taste it to try to assess the flavor if that could tell me for sure. But I mean everyone always loves it when I do try to make it. I will just have to try again.

  3. The finished product looked decent, however he should have cooked the chicken and sausage in batches so that it could brown more because that only deepens the flavor most folks from Nawlins know that. The chicken is normally slowly boiled with turkey necks and seasonings which makes the broth for the gumbo. His looks good I'm curious how it tastes.

  4. I like to sear my okra and sausage first. I sear the okra to take away some slime I also season it. Then in the same pan I sear the sausage with no season. I use the fat from that to make my roux. My secret ingredient is a gumbo base in a package. I appreciate your style thank you for sharing. Has anyone ever tried smoked oysters in their gumbo? I'm trying that tonight. Happy new year 🎉
