"If Stevie’s is the Golden Child, then Darrow’s New Orleans Grill is the younger, scrappier kid sibling. Because although it may not be number one in our hearts, it’s still a damn good bowl of gumbo. The star of the show here is obviously the meat—from the imported Louisiana Blue Crab to the chicken sausage and andouille, every morsel is impeccably seasoned and complements the thick, gravy-like roux perfectly. Make sure to get the filé gumbo ya ya—unlike the regular filé gumbo, this one comes with a mountain of jambalaya and French bread." - Kat Hong
