"Spiced gumbo loaded with seafood is the main event at this decades-old carryout restaurant and micro-chain that originated near Eastern Market. At this Detroit institution, the gumbo is packed with shrimp, sausage, cut okra, and a proprietary blend of seasonings, and shares space on the menu with other Bayou favorites like red beans and rice, jambalaya, and shrimp po’ boys made with a crackly baguette. For decades, visitors may have frequented the original Eastern Market area spot, however, after relocating in 2023, fans can find this new spruced-up and larger location not too far away." - Serena Maria Daniels
