This is me, I'm a GA redneck who learned it from Good Eats, so I'm certainly not an expert on roux's and I really don't make them very often. I just watched this video from Cajun Ninja making his chicken and sausage gumbo and says it takes him typically 1.5 hours, just for the roux. No vegetables, no stock, just the oil and flour. 1.5 hours, that seemed odd to me. But he's well respected, so I thought I'd pose the question here.
