The Gumbo Gourmet

The Gumbo Gourmet It's Gumbo, the way YOU want it! At The Gumbo Gourmet, everything begins with roux. But we’re more than just gumbo.

It’s the heart of gumbo, and it’s the heart of who we are—rich, soulful, and rooted in tradition. What started in 2005 as a small dream in Alabama has grown into a culinary brand that blends authenticity with innovation. From pop-ups and catering to our signature Gumbo Starter Roux Base, we’ve spent nearly two decades perfecting ways to share the bold, comforting taste of gumbo with more people, m

ore kitchens, and more occasions. We’re about connection—bringing people together over a bowl of something warm, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Whether you’re a restaurant looking to expand your menu, a company planning your next team event, or a gumbo lover craving a taste of home, our mission is the same:
Serve gumbo, the way you want it.

Most people won’t notice this right away- but it’s going to impact the food you eat and the prices you pay. Sysco Corporation is moving toward acquiring Restaurant Depot, and for small businesses like mine, that changes how we operate behind the scenes.

Everybody’s talking about Tina Knowles and gumbo…

But they’re arguing about the wrong thing.

This isn’t about flavor.
It’s about what happens when you try to scale food without controlling the process.

“More meat in the pot” isn’t always better—sometimes it’s exactly where things go wrong.

I broke down how we do it differently—and why it works.

When cooks at home, we repurpose leftovers from our pop ups to give them a second life!

Here, we have our Cajun red beans and turkey chili. Seasoned to perfection- and made with the staple red and green bells, onions and bay leaf.

What are some ways you repurpose leftovers and give them a second life?

When cooks at home, we use our very own Gumbo House Cajun Seasoning to cook salmon on 400 degrees in the oven on parchment paper with olive oil AND butter. That’s how you get that flaky, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
