One week ago, we gathered to celebrate 10 years of The Gumbo Gourmet in Atlanta. 🥂✨. This was the montage that played to commemorate the moment!

Ten years of faith.
Ten years of food.
Ten years of growth, lessons, relationships, opportunities—and a whole lot of gumbo!

A visual celebration of the people, places, milestones, meals and memories that have shaped our Atlanta journey over the past decade.

To every client, customer, team member, partner, friend and supporter who has been part of our story: "Thank you". Every introduction, purchase, booking, referral, encouraging word and open door helped bring us to this moment.

Press play and celebrate the first ten years with us.

A decade served with purpose—and we’re just getting started.

What an honor to be celebrated this morning on Kiss 104.1 during Black Business Month with the Urban League of Greater Atlanta.

I had the opportunity to share a little of The Gumbo Gourmet’s journey and the impact of the Urban League of Greater Atl sponsored PepsiCo Accelerator, and how stronger operations and financial discipline has helped us build a more profitable and sustainable business.

Thank you, Marc E. Parham for the recognition, the continued support, and the reminder that the work is being seen.

Ten years in, and we’re still growing.

In the past decade, The Gumbo Gourmet has evolved- and so has our logo.

When we launched in 2016, our signature offering was seafood gumbo, so the shrimp naturally represented our brand. Today, we've evolved into a manufacturer of a wholesale gumbo solution, and we're considering the evolution of our logo again- to reflect who we've become.

We are having an internal debate about whether or not we should keep the shrimp, reimagine it, or move in a completely new direction.

Decisions. Decisions.
