Emeril Lagasse, arguably the most famous chef to come out of New Orleans, has served gumbo at all of the 18 restaurants he has opened since he started his empire in 1990.

But in recent years, gumbo has become less omnipresent in New Orleans restaurants, as a new generation of chefs has come to prominence, many of them unfettered by entrenched customs.

In the last half-decade, the chefs Sue Zemanick, Alon Shaya, Justin Devillier and Nina Compton have all been named Best Chef in the South by the James Beard Foundation. None operated a restaurant at the time that prominently featured gumbo.
