"For years Gumbo Social chef and owner Dontaye Ball made diners swoon with his customizable bowls of gumbo sold at farmers markets across the city. But as of mid-2023, he put down roots in the Bayview neighborhood. The restaurant offers three kinds of gumbo, including a vegan option, plus four kinds of po’boys and sides like tots, corn hoecakes, and vegan greens. Diners can amp up their bowl of gumbo with add-ons including blue crab, hotlinks, scallops, or, for the plant-based diners, roasted jackfruit." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
