"Affable Norwood Clark Jr. is a commanding presence at his Creole restaurant Darrow’s New Orleans Grill in Carson, which just celebrated its seventh anniversary in the South Bay this past weekend. Clark Jr. beckons newcomers and seasoned veterans alike while manning the register. Other workers exude the same joy and enthusiasm for one of LA’s top Creole restaurants. The soulful food packs a flavor punch, from the comforting shrimp po’ boy and red beans with rice to the gumboyaya, a combination of two of New Orleans’ most famous dishes. The gumbo sports a soupy, well-seasoned broth with plenty of andouille sausage while the pat of jambalaya stands in for plain white rice. Sprinkle on some Frank’s Red Hot sauce and the flavors get turned to 11, with the tangy, acidic sauce providing a necessary balance to the earthy, spicy notes of the gumbo and jambalaya. The only thing missing was a live band, which Clark Jr. said helped commemorate the restaurant’s anniversary this past weekend." - Eater Staff
