It adds up quick:

Chicken


4 hens at about $9 each. $36

sausage


Savoies andouille at about $6 a pound, 6 pounds. $36.

quote:

tasso


No, bruh. Just no.

quote:

eggs


You can get 60 for $6

quote:

onions, peppers


Even if I add celery, under $15.

quote:

chicken stock


Use base. 4 a jar, $8.

quote:

rice


Five pounds for $5.

That's $106 for the gumbo.

Even if I throw beer in here, maybe $150.

Still no way you can get to $500 unless you are going very high end on the beer.

I overestimated it. $150 to $200 is about right

That sounds much closer. I think you could do it for about $200 yourself. Catered is going to be a lot steeper.

What kind of gumbo? Seafood is considerably more expensive than others.

My thought too, but I didn't want to respond, "What kind of gumbo?" You are 100% correct, Seafood will be much more expensive. I don't make seafood for anyone unles I really like them.



Want to come over?

I have actually never made seafood gumbo before and it almost intimidates me to try.

I admit I am kind of a gumbo novice so when are you adding eggs to a gumbo?

Towards the end while with a low boil. The eggs will cook almost instantly as they are dropped in. They look like oysters

Make a chicken and sausage gumbo minus the chicken and sausage. At the end add shrimp and crabmeat in lieu of.

That’s the easiest route. If you want to make shrimp stock, add buster crabs etc...get tough with it but the above is just as good.

No one that calls for savoie sausage in a gumbo and then instantly shits on tasso should be respected as a cook.
