Louisiana food does more than fill you up. It tells you who we are.
Around the holidays, gumbo brings people together. Cooks start with a dark roux. Then they add shrimp, crabs, and oysters. Okra thickens the pot and gives it that classic gumbo texture. Bay leaves add a quiet flavor that builds while it simmers. Finally, they serve it over Louisiana rice.
