Bowling for soup: what you'll pay for gumbo around town
How much is...gumbo?
An occasional series that takes a snapshot of prices for New Orleans staples
From hoity-toity deconstructed flourishes to surprisingly great dive bar kitchens, gumbo is everywhere in New Orleans. I mean, obviously. Just for kicks, we picked ten random places to see how much a cup/bowl will run you. The priciest is Restaurant R'Evolution's Death By Gumbo at $20, the cheapest on this map the $5.40 cup at Bar Redux. To save a long and tedious exchange of emails, this isn't a list of the gumbos that we consider 'the best', so don't flap if we missed out your favorite. It's just a snapshot of what you might find, covering a variety of styles.
