"We love the gumbo z’herbs at Lucille’s in the Museum District because it can be dressed up or dressed down. The standard bowl comes with smoked ham hock slices and snappy andouille sausages that have just a hint of spice, but add giant shrimp to your bowl to get a seafood gumbo loaded with heat. Either way, a small mound of white rice sits at the center of a dark roux base that's thick enough to put a summer heatwave to shame." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
