Bowled over: The search for the best gumbo in New Orleans
The best eight gumbos in New Orleans
A couple of months ago, I threw my hat into the ring for an assignment for Bon Appetit Magazine. The call out was jut asking for New Orleans writers, and thankfully I did not get the job. It turned out that it was to be a round up of the best gumbo dishes in New Orleans, a contest that I am patently unqualified to judge, and which I would not have DARED to apply for had I known the details. Who IS qualified, though, is excellent local writer Megan Braden-Perry, and she kindly agreed to let us link to her piece this week. Take a look at her verdict here, and bask in her wonderful prose.
