Hey chef, I’m born and raised in south Louisiana and of course gumbo is one of our most famous dishes in our local cuisine here in south Louisiana. You made it very good and very close to how we make it down here. Only difference we do is it’s always green bell pepper with the onion and celery for the trinity instead of red or yellow to be authentic, but other than that you got it on point. For regional differences on gumbo, you can add tomato or tomato sauce and a red-brown colored roux (the step before you get to the chocolate stage) if you want it like a traditional New Orleans style seafood gumbo or you can leave the tomato out and using a chocolate roux as you done here for a traditional Acadiana style gumbo that has also migrated to New Orleans as well since the 1960’s. But there are many different styles of gumbo in south Louisiana like seafood okra, seafood filé, seafood chicken, chicken and sausage, any one of the wild game gumbos like duck and andouille gumbo or ones made with rabbit, deer or squirrel and we even have a green gumbo (also called gumbo z’herbes, we pronounce it like gumbo zab, it rhymes with jab) that consists of various greens with meat (or for catholic lent, no meat). And always garnish with fresh chopped green onions and parsley, always. This is non-negotiable lol. Anyway, keep up the good work Chef. I saw ATL and gumbo in the same sentence and I was like uh-oh 😐 but you did very good. Good job. This was a very well made gumbo.

Good Lord chef you are driving me crazy. I made that mac and cheese for Christmas and there was none left. People asking me for the recipe. I told them I got you all, I promise 😊😊❣️

I'm from Louisiana, and my motto has always been there's no wrong way to make gumbo...now here we would just call that okra gumbo, but I love seeing the different "flava" everybody brings with this timeless dish😊

I knew I was gonna love this recipe when I seen it was six minutes long …no over exaggerated ingredients or 32 steps, lol, happy holidays chef, this is going to be Christmas dinner 🎉

After watching 5657852542228542 videos of recipe's LMFAOO, yours was the easiest and simpliest. Everyone else talk TOOOO much. this was my second time making gumbo and mannnn this was sooo good i basically ate the whole thing myself and shared one bowl with my neighbor to see if I was tripping or not. girlllll this gumbo was better than Fishbone's (here in Michigan that's like the go to for gumbo) and babyyyyy I may never have to visit fishbones again just like I'll never do Olive garden after learning my own alfredo sauce. ooohhwwweeeeeeeeeeee yes you did have us. THANK YOU!!!!! even my fav YT talk too damn much or be having all they own special seasonings i can't get from the damn store.

Love how you got Srt8 to the point!

I have watched a bunch of gumbo videos and this is the closest one to my families gumbo that I can find. Thank you so much Chef Carmen.

Appreciate your work Chef!

Really enjoyed this seafood gumbo recipe! Looks so good! Awesome video! :)

Chef I loved when you said "Any Kind Of Sausage"!

Definitely going to try this recipe..... yours looks amazing

OMG‼️‼️I cooked some gumbo today an followed the exact way u did it an it came out AMAZING ‼️ My family loving it ‼️🥰🥰

Sase bon!! Excellent recipe and I love your tweaks. Just made this and it's out of this world!!! THANK YOU

You got me when you boiled the shrimp shells! My Dad was from Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, and my grandmother was a creole chef who taught him well, so I always look for authenticity! They always added chicken wings and stew beef to the mix, but I understand that there are all kinds of gumbo. We will agree to disagree on the garlic...but you did the thing Chef!!!!

That looks SO good. I know it is just bustin with flavor.

Hey friend 😃 thank you so much for sharing your gift of cooking with us ❤️ you are an amazing instructor everything is explained precisely. We love you bunches!!! Much continuous success and many blessings to you and your family.

THIS was AWESOME to watch... THANKS for sharing your technique for making such a BEAUTIFUL GUMBO!!! I really loved how you boiled the shells of the shrimp and used that stock like you did... YUM!!! I grew up in New Orleans, but as a kid I didn't know to appreciate so much of the Southern flavas and ways, especially the foods, until I was an adult, and had to move away, and really MISSED it SO MUCH. I wish you or someone could come up with a pot that has a continuous stirring apparatus because my back and knees would never let me stand so long to make the roux LOL!! Blessings for a safe, healthy and happy 2023... I sure loved your video!! Stay cool.... :)

This video was SUCH a joy to watch! Happy Holidays, y’all!!! 🎄⛄️🥘🙏🏾🥰❤️

Love what I saw and now want some as well!! Great job, Chief! 👏 👏👏👏

This Is What Heaven In A Pot Look Like 🤍🤍 Yes LAWD Chef Got Us She Promise

Looks delicious Chef Carmen!

Now that's a seafood gumbo‼️‼️♥️♥️

Wow chef that looks amazing!!!

My new favorite cooking channel

Thanks so much for this easy recipe, it looks so delicious!! 😊

Oh my goodness looks so good, thanks for sharing

I always use real butter and unbleached flour for my roux. My family's holy trinity is onion,peppers(green and tricolor,red,yellow,orange)and garlic. My mom hates celery so she never used it. I tried it both ways and I prefer to eat celery raw, I don't like it cooked. Everyone in my family who cooks, has their own little twist and it's all yummy! This looks so good!!! 👌

Looks delicious! I’ll give it a try! Thank you Chef Carmen🙏🏽😇🤗

Chef I really like the way you prepare your gumbo it's on point,Thank you 💯+++!!!

Hi Carmen! Old Texan here. Now retired in Thailand after 35 years living here! Thanks for the simple video to understand the instructions. Opening a new restaurant with the wife next week. I'm going to test this on my neighbors. So far, they like the Tex-Mex, pizza and various sausages we make. Not to mention my wife's local cuisine. Our 2 sons, friends and expats they work with will be our best critics. Me? I know I'll enjoy it. I'll let you know how it goes! Buddy Atwood
