Where to Find the Best Gumbo in Houston

"This restaurant, housed in a 100-year-old log cabin along White Oak Bayou, is known for its menu of wild game — it incorporates smoked duck and andouille sausage into its gumbo. A wild rice pilaf topping adds an extra layer of flavor. Diners can find this earthy gumbo during lunch and dinner, or take it to-go by the quart." - Brittany Britto Garley, Minh T. Truong
