Where to Find the Best Gumbo in New Orleans

"Chef Eric Cook casts even the most traditional Creole dishes in a new light, thanks to his elegant use of supreme ingredients and techniques practiced in kitchens like American Sector, Bourbon House, Tommy’s Cuisine, and Gris-Gris. At Saint John, the chef cooks food that brings back memories, and his familiar menu certainly does that most expertly. But Saint John’s new gumbo with shrimp, crab, okra, and andouille, smoky at its heart and silky on the tongue, sets a lofty standard that deserves a memory all its own." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
