If bobby didnt use tomato he is the instant winner. You cant screw up gumbo any worse than that. Unless you use fish and tomato.

a wild speculation: is it possible that tomatoes in the gumbo is an italian/new orleans thing while the gumbo purists come from outside the city or don't have italian heritage?

i grew up in new orleans, but when i got to lsu and hung out and cooked with friends from lafayette and new iberia and other places like that there were some differences between how we cooked (tomatoes vs. no tomatoes in gumbo) and even what we called stuff (dirty rice vs. rice dressing).
