This is a video just released by Stalekracker and I thought I'd share it, it's pretty off the wall.

He makes red beans.

He makes chicken/sausage gumbo.

Then he mixes them together.

Then he poaches 19 eggs in it.

Then serves it over rice with cornbread.

Sounds heretical, but watching him make it and seeing the finished product, it looks damn good.

Also, his alcoholism seems to have graduated from Mickey's malt liquor to Jagerbombs by the pint. There's no way this dude's liver values are normal.

When I used to get gumbo at Juban's in Baton Rouge I always felt like there was a red beans and rice flavor in there somewhere

I wouldn't eat what he's making, feel like he overdid everything. - too much Cajun seasoning (in the stock and the. gumbo), too much hot sauce, too much of the mashed red beans, and I'd definitely go without the eggs. Probably too much Hepatitis C as well.

That being said, working some blended leftover RBR into my next gumbo might add an interesting flavor and some thickness.

I can make a good red bean gumbo with ham stock, ham hocks, pork sausage, red beans, etc.

This recipe is too much.

Also never will understand not browning the sausage before putting in gumbo.

I first want to say that I’m a huge fan of the Stalekracker. Highly entertaining and gets me excited about food from South Louisiana.

But he is first and foremost a content creator trying to entertain for views, likes, and engagement. I watched that recipe today and it was absolutely ridiculous. Might it have tasted good? I guess. But it was way over the top and just a stupid mixture of multiple entries combined into one.

Also, those eggs weren’t poached. He cracked them and then whisked them all in.

There’s a reason we didn’t get a “put that on a cracker, dude” shot at the end. It probably looked like shite.

I like his Gator Drool hot sauce, not to spicy but a damn good flavor. As far as his cooking videos go, I like them for what he’s doing. Cooking for most people isn’t that serious, if it tastes good people will eat it, and that’s all that matters. I’ve heard about red bean gumbo on here but his video was the first time I’ve seen someone actually do it. A lot of the times on the weekend I’ll just go in the kitchen an make up something as I’m going. You don’t always need a recipe to make good food, let it come from the soul and go from there.

In the last cookoff, I badly wanted to call my entry Hopping John Gumbo instead of Hopping John Soup, but I knew the meltdown it would cause. I will tell you guys, this is a seriously good dish, just not at the F&D cook off challenge level.
