Well it smelled fine and tasted great. FWIW I brought the gumbo to a boil and let it simmer for about 30 mins. I guess we'll find out in about 12 hours if it was good or not. Haha
Just and FYI but while boiling it would kill any sort of parasite that was living in it, that isn't the danger of leaving it out. Depending on the type of toxin produced by the bacteria, some are not capable of being boiled away and can still make you sick. I never take chances beyond 3 hours but I find that I'm probably on the extreme end of that spectrum.

Well, it's 16 hours later since we ate the leftovers and we're all fine so far. Here's to hoping that trend continues!
Thanks everyone for the input. I think next time i'll definitely try the ice bath to cool it quickly.
