The Best Gumbo in New Orleans | Bon Appétit

"A multigenerational Creole institution whose dining room is layered with Black art and family history, this restaurant serves a traditional Black Creole gumbo brimming with smoked sausage (including Creole chaurice), chicken, shrimp, stewed ham hocks and veal, blue crab and filé; on Fridays the gumbo is made with okra. The kitchen is still family-run and many diners say the gumbo tastes the same as in past generations, reflecting decades of culinary and cultural legacy tied to community and civil-rights history. Typical recommendations are the Friday okra gumbo or the Creole gumbo any other day, plus classic sides and the fried chicken." - ByMegan Braden-Perry
