on triple D just now, guy went to a place in Alabama called the gumbo shack.

this idiot "chef" just dumped in all his spices, veggies, and meats then chicken stock, then a bunch of flour and called this entire concoction his "roux."

once he cooked it all for a few hours, he dumped a shite ton of whole tomatoes and okra and called it gumbo. I cringed the entire time.


please tell me no one actually does this

Pretty certain most of the places DDD goes to are highly successful. I'm sure that "idiot chef" knows more than you about cooking.

Would you also like to discuss the best hamburgers? Or how about beans and ground meat in chili? No? Well, what about Walk-Ons? Mdawg? Chains in BR? Come on. We can pile a whole bunch of FDB threads that have been beat to death.

How many cups does that convert to?

Pretty everyone outside of LA thinks gumbo is a tomato and okra soup. Drives me crazy.

John Besh's gumbo recipe calls for tomatoes.

Of course, Besh is an idiot so what does he know?

Gumbo can be good with tomatoes. Not a tomatoe-y gumbo, but a few can add a good taste to it.

What is the big deal?

Never eaten a gumbo with tomatoes in it and don't plan on it.
