"Trace gumbo to its West African roots at chef Fanta Tambajang’s Royal Street restaurant Bennachin. The nsouki lappa — a beef sausage and turkey gumbo — boasts smoky notes in its rich roux. Save room for a dessert of shakari (couscous in a yogurt sauce with shredded coconut, raisins, and tart pineapple)." - Beth D’Addono
