Where to Find the Best Gumbo in New Orleans

"Frank Brigtsen’s personal approach to classic Louisiana dishes can be seen throughout the menu, in items like New Orleans barbecue shrimp with calas, catfish des allemands, and crab-crusted Gulf fish. His gumbo, a Cajun-style chicken and andouille, boasts a rich, dark roux peppered with file." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
