Mail Order Gumbo?

BR native here who is not particularly Cajun but living in the Carolinas knows that gumbo doesn’t have chunks of tomato in it.
Yer to have had a decent gumbo or jambalaya up here after 25 years.
I make a decent one myself, but my kids are asking for it, and I don’t have time to make it for quite a while. Don’t want to wait till it’s 80° outside.
Just looking for a top shelf chicken and sausage gumbo I can order from Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Eunice, Thibodaux… I don’t care.
Roux should approach the darker side and it should be borderline spicy. We can add some Geaux Creole if necessary.
Where can I order this online?
I really don’t care how much it costs.
suggestions welcomed and appreciated!

Cajun Grocer has a boil in the bag one that’s actually decent.
This is the chicken and sausage. They have a seafood one too.

Edit: the John Folse one is good too. LINK

simple cheat method, go buy a rotisserie chicken from Sams or Costco.
Debone, save bones and carcass to make the chicken stock. Easy way to also make a killer chicken salad.

Kary's Gumbo mix is great. You can typically get it at Walmart or if not, on Amazon. I just add a rotissiere chicken and brown the sausage. I make a mean gumbo from scratch, but I just don't have the time right now...

Is that really a "cheat method" for browning chicken? On a rotisserie, its mostly the skin that is browned, which you don't put in gumbo any way. And there's nothing wrong with using rotisserie chicken for gumbo...I do it sometimes and it's fine. But "browning" usually involves seasoning the meat and cooking it down in some oil to form a nice and crisp brown sear on the meat.

I've bought the frozen John Folse at Albertson's and it is pretty good.

Do y’all use their jar roux or the dry stuff from the box?
Posted on 2/3/26 at 2:37 pm to notiger1997
i use the jar roux but, the box is money for a quick fix.

He'd likely have to order that as well. Jarred roux is often hard to find the further away you get from Louisiana.

i’ve ordered Savoie’s before and it works fine but if I am going to do the whole process I can just make the roux myself. Oven roux is dead simple and comes out as good or better. I do the whole stir and pray thing forever but i’ll always do it in the oven going forward.

Give cajun Cj's a try. Jambalaya is also good. Crawfish pie not so much. I make it a little different than the directions. If you decide to use it I can give you my recipe.
