"Stevie’s Creole Cafe serves what just might be the Holy Grail of LA gumbo. The roux is dark, rich, and impossibly silky. It’s thick enough to coat a spoon and packs just the right amount of heat—enough to remind you that it’s there, but never so hot that it overwhelms the rest of the flavors. Served over a bed of white rice and a chunk of French bread, this is the kind of comforting, nourishing meal you need to get you through the cold winter days… or what passes for cold here in LA.
