Anyone from Louisiana knows that Gumbo is a labor of love, and you just can't rush it. So all of y'all out there who want to try this, make sure you have the time. Love all of your videos Charlie. You put the time, and love into everything you cook. I hope you make people want to cook from scratch again, as most people are living in the fast lane these days, and don't have time to cook from scratch anymore.
Yes sheila I agree Gumbo can take a lot of time especially if you are making it from scratch. Happy to hear that you enjoy my videos! Thanks so much for the compliments I try my best!
Imma tell y’all right now. This is the best video on the internet on how to make gumbo. Charlie is so detailed and patient. I made this recipe and it is finger licking good. Keep the goodness coming Charlie!
Charlie, you are the sweetest man on any cooking show. You also have the most beautiful, kind smile. Keep up the good work...your recipes are delicious. God bless you Charlie!
There are literally hundreds of "gumbo" recipes on UA-cam but no one even comes close to Charlies gumbo. This one or his seafood gumbo. He's so ridiculously ahead of anyone else it's just funny.
Best chicken and sausage gumbo on the internet. Your seafood gumbo is also the best by far. I'll bet my house on it. Not one Nola native that would argue that your gumbo recipes aren't the absolute best on any UA-cam channel or cooking website out there. It's indisputable. You're the king Charlie. All hail his Royal highness 👑
Charlie, Fellow New Orleanian here! My mom showed me how to make regular gumbo but we never did only chicken and sausage before she passed! I used your recipe today and they kept going back for more! Thank You!
Hey there! I am happy to hear that the chicken and sausage Gumbo was successful and that you enjoyed it. You're welcome, not a problem. Thanks for leaving feedback my fellow New Orleans native!
My dad was from New Orleans and cooked gumbo during the cold months. I never saw him cook it, but the only difference I can see is, he used fresh cut okra. It was never slimy. He made a pot with hot sausage and another with mild sausage for those who couldn't handle the hot lol. His gumbo was made with seafood. Takes me back to my childhood. Frog legs wow. I grew up in San Francisco, but it was a treat to eat some of the dishes from his childhood. Oyster dressing, pralines and sugar cane. Not to forget chicory coffee. A lot of people don't like okra in their gumbo because of the slime, but doing it your way they won't even know it's in there.
Hello there! That's awesome and good to hear. I'm happy that this video brings back memories of when your dad made Gumbo. That's awesome. Let me know how the Gumbo turns out. Thanks!!
Charlie, I love that you show us how to create fabulous dishes in a humble kitchen. So many channels are set in a $15,000 kitchen with $1,500 in pots and pans. You prove that you can make great healthy food as long as you have a knife, spatula, and a pot. Much love!
Omg! I am so impressed with your cooking. I visited New Orleans one time. I had gumbo at the restaurant where I stayed. All nite those flavors danced on my tongue. In the morning I raced downstairs to the dining room and asked for a bowl of gumbo. When I was told it’s not served for breakfast I was outdone. I was so disappointed that I was taken to the kitchen where a little old lady was making it and promised to have me some for dinner that nite. One thing she told me is when it’s almost gone you add the leftovers to the next batch. I see that same dedication in you. I love watching your cooking and I love New Orleans.
I appreciate the compliments. Wow, that's awesome and good to hear. Yes, Gumbo is definitely not served for breakfast unless you are sick and need some soup. I appreciate you for sharing your story. Thanks!
This gumbo tastes as good as it looks. I made it yesterday, and already had a bowl this morning. It is absolutely delicious. The end product makes all of the many steps worth while. Great job Charlie, Happy Thanksgiving!
I am so happy to hear that the Gumbo came out perfectly! Yes i agree. Gumbo is a labor of love. It may have a lot of steps but it's worth it in the end. Thanks so much for leaving feedback!
I've been marathoning your videos since yesterday...I just found you. What a great teacher you are. You've been doing this for 7 something years. Wow! Incredible!
Made this for Christmas dinner and it was a hit! My family said this was the best gumbo ever!! Thank you for making it easy to follow along. Your tips and explanation made this a success. Charlie you should be on tv!
Hello Casandra! I am happy to hear that the Gumbo was a success! You're welcome not a problem. I appreciate the compliments! Thanks for leaving feedback! :)
Charlie,I can see how you really put your heart into this amazing gumbo.my dad use to make gumbo,and he passed on 9years ago.i hvnt had gumbo sence.ive always felt intimidated by the long process,and worried it wouldn't be the same.you make it look so fun,and not stressed...not sure if I'll ever HV the nerve to try to make it.but if I did,your the person to follow.enjoy your gumbo,and your day.much appreciation.good wishes and God's blessings to you.🎆🎇🎆🌅🌅🌅🌅🌄🌄🌄🌟☀️☀️☀️✨✨✨😋😋😋😋💖
Charlie this is the best Gumbo I’ve EVER had! Dude, I love your cooking. The whole time I was trying to finish it my family was yelling at me to hurry up because it smelt SOOOO GOOD! Charlie, thank you for all you do, I’ve always had a love for cooking and your truly bring out the joy in me to cook. Love you Charlie! (Jeez this was long)
Happy to hear that you enjoy my cooking and that the Gumbo was a success. You're welcome not a problem. Thanks for the compliments and for leaving feedback!
My favorite thing about watching ur cooking videos is how you are so conservative with fats oil’s, etc. you don’t have to make food greasy and oily for it to taste delicious I love that. My mom taught me to cook the same way.
Thanks so much, Charlie! Just came across your channel. My Wife is from the West Bank and thanks to you, I was able to prepare her a surprise gumbo today. I was able to prepare the roux without burning it! I couldn't believe that I got it on the first try...LOL! I love your vids. You are able to explain the prep of these dishes so most anybody can understand. You're the MAN!
MR ANDREW U R ONE OF A KIND,THERES NOTHING LIKE FOOD FROM SCRATCH.ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN COMFORT FOOD PLZ KEEP IT COMING MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS U AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent! I'll be looking forward to hearing from you on how the Gumbo comes out. Make sure that roux is a dark brown color! You're Welcome! Glad that I was able to help!
Wow you really put a lot of time into your videos. I can't wait to try this. My family only spent a short time in Louisiana but I crave Cajun food more than any other. Also, if it means anything, I'm currently going through chemotherapy and your videos are helping me get my appetite back :)
Hello Brian! Wow. I'm happy to hear that my video's are helping you in getting your appetite back. I also hope and pray that your chemotherapy turns out to be a huge success in defeating whatever ailments you are currently dealing with. Yes I do put a lot of hard work into my cooking videos! Thanks so much for commenting and get well soon! Take care!
+Chevy Brown ha ha ha ha you meant Texas toast lol Yes that Grilled cheese was off the chain. It was GOOD! You're Welcome! I appreciate your comment! :)
I thought I knew how to make gumbo until I followed Charlie's video and MAN! what a difference. Since following Charlie I love to get in the kitchen and surprise my family with these excellently illustrated how to recipes. He's a GENIUS! I cook no other way. Thank you Charlie for your love of cooking and for sharing!!!
hi, charlie-- I just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for making these videos. I am not a cook in any capacity, but I watch your videos becuase you have such a kind, calming, genuine aura about you, and I so enjoy learning about these recipes, because you explain them thoroughly and help along the way. you've helped with my panic disorder more than you know. thank you for putting so much effort and time into making your amazing videos! you have touched my life dearly
Hello there! You're welcome, not a problem! I appreciate all of the compliments and happy to hear that you enjoy my videos and that you are learning somethings. Thanks so much for sharing your story!
@@CharlieTheCookAndrewsthank you so much for your response! I'm all the way from Michigan, and I am making your recipes for my Thanksgiving over here. sending love and support from Michigan to you and your family
I new his Gumbo was go GO hard because of his accent. LORD Jesus GUMBO ON POINT. I have never made it. My pops and mom are from Louisiana. Thanks bro. Thanks ALOTTTTTTTT.
Charlie, I am loving your videos. I lived in New Orleans for several years after graduating from college there. I have made gumbo several times, and I cannot believe I did not fry my sausage and 0kra before putting it in the gumbo. Now I know why it was always so oily. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Hello Anthony! That is good to hear! Yikes not frying the sausage or okra isn't a good idea. Glad this video made you see why your Gumbo was oily. You're welcome not a problem!
My mama loved D&D sausage, I'm not gon lie Charlie, I haven't had a homemade roux gumbo since she passed, I've been using Zatarans, but I miss the from scratch and for Christmas I will try this gumbo and see if anyone notices a difference. My uncle's wife, she's from Vacherie, one Christmas put hotdogs in a gumbo, boy we dragged for her to no end!
Charlie this sausage chicken gumbo was AWESOME. You were so thorough in your teaching of this recipe.. I was captivated and so impressed .Thank U i will b making this . I'm from NJ with friends from New Orleans.. I know it good
I love the way you say ( CHARLIE) it sounds really cute. I had an Uncle Charlie, he was a very hard working honest man, a very handsome man. He worked as a mail man plus planted a huge garden every year any veggie you can make and grow in the Michigan temperture. He was a very good man may be rest in peace. Thank you Charlie for sharing your video. For Bless you Charlie.
so I actually made this following the recipe with a few exclusions, ie okra and the pork sausage for religious reasons but it turned out PERFECT with several types of hot chicken and chicken sausage. I found out it is in the spices you use, the trinity, the roux and the amount of time you let it all mingle as well as the spiced and browned meats. thank you much!
That gumbo looks amazing! Gumbo is my favorite dish in this world!! When I make it, I layer the flavors step by step as you do. Wish I could have a taste!
Oh Chawly, the gumbo was amazing!! The gizzard stock made a big difference, and the the seasonings were perfect! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! 😀😀😀
CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE!!!!!!!!You REALLY delivered for sure love this and appreciate the time you put into letting us know the truth about making this DISH. I truly HEART you.
Yes this is one of my hardest worked on videos. Wish it wasn't as long but making Gumbo is a long process so it is what it is! Thanks for the compliments!
Charlie it is such a pleasure watching you eat your delicious meals. The sign of a true Chef who enjoys what he does. God bless you Sir. I am waiting on your cookbook!
Great! I'm glad that you are enjoying my videos! I've been getting some comments regarding a cook book but I still need to work on some things before i begin to think about a cookbook. Thanks for commenting!
Greetings Chef Charlie, I am a native New Orleanian who used your recipes for seafood & chicken/ sausage gumbo. Well needless to say 3 pots later, my family & I loved the outcome. All the recommended steps you suggest are well worth the effort. The gumbo was Superb! Thank you & keep doing what you do; making Genuine down home Meals from yesteryear.... I'm still trying to figure out how to send you photos of the gumbo dishes....🙏➕💕
Hey there my fellow New Orleanian! Happy to hear that the chicken and sausage Gumbo was a success. You're welcome not a problem. You can send pictures to charliethecookandrews@gmail.com. Thanks for leaving feedback!
OMG...what a gift. A true labor of love. The color and texture of your Roux was spot on. Thank you for the amazing effort and time involved. I will follow your instructions and report back!
Charlie why dont you add your seasonings/vegetable s to the roux after its done cooking?? Also i never saw okra cut up like that... Im from Algiers/ Gretna
Ha ha ha ha Iol I know you were happy to see me return. Had to come back with a new Gumbo video. I worked harder on this one than I did with my other Gumbo video. Had to make sure everything was right!
The first time I made gumbo I made it so hot that we were all sweating after the first bite. It was from scratch but I added shrimp and it was close to yours. The second go around I made it for our ambulance crews ( Children's Hospital Oakland, CA ) and the dispatcher knew the Greatful Dead band members and she invited them. They were impressed with it and we were able to listen to some great music that night. Rock on Charlie!
Charlie Andrews Charlie do you taste how different the Patton sausage is? I stopped buying it I even called Patton themselves and asked why did y’all change the recipe (no one called back) I grew up eating this brand, I’m so dissatisfied. All this happened after Katrina
@@darleneburns8906 I'm not sure what you are referring to as from a taste stand point. It's always taste the same to me. Also companies can change their formulas over time. Never had an issue with them. Always good to me.
I made this for my family around Mardi Gras this year. My family loved it. My baby has requested this for her birthday this weekend. Thank you for this!
I love your videos. I am also a New Orleans native and truly love to cook as well. Keep doing ur thing. And I made the shrimp and grits soooooo good, but added swai.
Charlie, I didn't do every last thing, but I followed most everything. I haven't cooked in so long , for medical ( head lol) and I absolutely thank you . I am 77 years old and I surprised my family, it was a little salty , but on rice it was great. My hubby made the rice . Thank you for this memory with all our large family. My hubby does the cooking, but since he turned 80, he needs my help. We did drive by , they drove up picked their containers up and went home to eat! It didn't make their daddy/ papa as nervous. Hugs
Wow that is Awesome! I hope I can live to see 77 years! I am happy to hear that the chicken and sausage Gumbo turned out good! You're welcome no problem! Next time if you try this recipe try to add less salt to it! Thanks so much for leaving feedback!
CHARLIEEEEEEE, you are back, my stomach is getting happier by the minute, I have never made this but you know I will give your recipe a try. Thanks so much :)
Yes I am back. Sorry that I am making you hungary lol Yes give this recipe a try and let me know how it turns out. I know you're going to make me proud! :)
That's a fine lookin' gumbo, Sir!!! Grilled cheese looked great too! Gumbo has to have Okra, heck gumbo is a variation of the African word, for Okra. Thank you, Charlie.🤤🤤🤤🤤🙂🙂
Thank you! I put alot of hard work into it to just for ya'll. My subscribers and also for people who wants to learn how to cook from scratch! :) I appreciate all of you. That's why I try to release the best content possible. Ya'll are Awesome! :)
I've seen a lot of gumbo making recipes on you tube but after seeing this one it's the only recipe I've seen that has the gumbo color just like I've always wanted to do myself. Great tips on frying the sausages and baking the chicken. I'm definitely going to try this one. This is just what I've been looking for. Charlie you explained everything perfectly my friend. Keep it up you rock.
Welp, I know what ill be making soon. I like the fact that you really take the time to go over everything. Its obvious you care about what you're doing. This looked great and cant wait to try this one out!
+Joel Malcom Yes it does take a long time preparingredients the ingredients, cooking etc. Thanks so much I really appreciate it! :) Yes give this a try and let me know the results when you're done!
Charlie, you are such a perfectionist also- topped with such a Great Chef! I intend to incorporate all of your techniques & methods in the kitchen !!! Again you are eating without me !!! 😮 Love your videos Charlie !!! Thank you !!! PS that’s a new twist grilled cheese. Is that how it is served ??
Thanks so much for the compliments. I try my best! Happy to hear that you enjoy my videos! Yes normally the Chicken and sausage Gumbo is served with grilled cheese!
Taking me back to my childhood school lunch days. This and your buttermilk drop video. You are "naturally n'awlins" as a wise man once said, from what I hear it's becoming a rarity so please keep up your energy and personality. Thank you for being here.
You are seriously a breath of fresh air! I could watch you all day! Thanks for all of you do! Your videos enhance my marriage... if that makes sense lol. It's so neat to see the grilled cheese! What a combination! :D
Ha ha ha ha ha I know right! I get that sometimes. I put a lot of hard work into these videos! Wow I didn't know my videos could do that to a person's marriage lol That's a good thing though. You know women likes men that can cook. Well I'll take that back some of them do lol Yes i know right the Grilled cheese just brings it all together. Thanks for commenting!
Charlie you be cooking and eating reallllllllll goooooood! I like how you compared your dish to the school lunch you had when you were younger. That’s wonderful
I'm cooking this tonight for dinner. Hopefully it will turn out as good as yours look. I want to hit my table😅😄😃🤣. Thank you Charlie for sharing this video.👍
I made this today and it was cooking all day. I had never eaten or made gumbo before. When Charlie says to get all the grease out of your sausage and okra, make sure you do it or the gumbo has too much grease and you'll have to skim it off. I did not use the chicken gizzards, and I had to substitute other brands of smoked and hot sausage. Other than that, I followed his directions. It was pretty good. Now, if you have never made this before, you should know that the roux smells weird, the okra smells weird; this will be a very new and unusual flavor for those who are new to gumbo! Basically, this is tasty and is nothing like anything else I have ever eaten!! Thanks Charlie! Beautiful production and delicious recipe.
My aunt was from New Orleans and a great cook. I have her recipe for gumbo. I’m from W Texas and first time I ate it I thought it was real good. I haven’t cooked it in a long time but I know she was a wonderful cook.
+kim “Dollar tree Diva” Jackson Yes i really out did myself on this Gumbo recipe! I wanted to make sure that everything was right! Thank you soo much for commenting! :)
Hey Brandy! Yes i agree. They don't know nothing about that gumbo with grilled cheese. It used to be sooo good! Thanks so much for commenting my fellow New Orleans native! Good to hear from my New Orleans people!
Thank you, Charlie! Once again it is awesome to have seen your lesson in making authentic chicken and sausage gumbo from a Local. All the best to you and your video staff.
Chef Charlie, you are obviously a great chef/cook or whatever title you choose. I enjoyed listening to how you articulated each and every step of the gumbo recipe. Your demonstration was soooooo professionally executed and will be easy to duplicate. I love the way you handled and prepped all of the ingredients. I will be making your recipe for a bridal shower next month. Thank you!!!! Keep up the good demos!!! Be Blessed Charlie, Be Blessed!

Charlie, I am loving your videos. I lived in New Orleans for several years after graduating from college there. I have made gumbo several times, and I cannot believe I did not fry my sausage and 0kra before putting it in the gumbo. Now I know why it was always so oily. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Hello Anthony! That is good to hear! Yikes not frying the sausage or okra isn't a good idea. Glad this video made you see why your Gumbo was oily. You're welcome not a problem!
Once again, Charlie is da man!!
@@JerricaTaylor-r8e I appreciate the compliment. Thanks!!
My mama loved D&D sausage, I'm not gon lie Charlie, I haven't had a homemade roux gumbo since she passed, I've been using Zatarans, but I miss the from scratch and for Christmas I will try this gumbo and see if anyone notices a difference. My uncle's wife, she's from Vacherie, one Christmas put hotdogs in a gumbo, boy we dragged for her to no end!
tbrash03 my grandma made really good gumbo and she also added hotdogs to her for me cause I didn't eat seafood only chicken, sausage and hotdogs 😊
tbrash03 How about my cousin wife family put hotdogs in it for the Wedding. Boy, my mama was livid😛😩
P La Hot dogs??
Nola Queen Damn, that’s wild...hot dogs in a wedding gumbo...ya mama was justified in being livid...my mama would have been the same lol
Yeah sis tried that too, yuck! This restaurant in tx put lil baby corn in theirs.

Sorry if I made you Hungary Ms Michelle lol. Happy that you enjoyed the video and Thank you soo much!
I love the way you say ( CHARLIE) it sounds really cute. I had an Uncle Charlie, he was a very hard working honest man, a very handsome man. He worked as a mail man plus planted a huge garden every year any veggie you can make and grow in the Michigan temperture. He was a very good man may be rest in peace. Thank you Charlie for sharing your video. For Bless you Charlie.
Wow sounds like your Uncle was a hard working guy! I may have to try to plant some vegetables one day! You're welcome!
Charlie you are the man your food looks so delicious I’m a try this one too Louisiana native
Hey there! I appreciate the compliment. Thanks!
so I actually made this following the recipe with a few exclusions, ie okra and the pork sausage for religious reasons but it turned out PERFECT with several types of hot chicken and chicken sausage. I found out it is in the spices you use, the trinity, the roux and the amount of time you let it all mingle as well as the spiced and browned meats. thank you much!
Awesome! I am happy to hear that the Chicken and sausage Gumbo was a success. Glad I was able to help. Thanks for leaving feedback!

Greetings Chef Charlie, I am a native New Orleanian who used your recipes for seafood & chicken/ sausage gumbo. Well needless to say 3 pots later, my family & I loved the outcome. All the recommended steps you suggest are well worth the effort. The gumbo was Superb! Thank you & keep doing what you do; making Genuine down home Meals from yesteryear.... I'm still trying to figure out how to send you photos of the gumbo dishes....🙏➕💕
Hey there my fellow New Orleanian! Happy to hear that the chicken and sausage Gumbo was a success. You're welcome not a problem. You can send pictures to charliethecookandrews@gmail.com. Thanks for leaving feedback!
Hi Chef, watched to get the ingredients and then attempt to make this tomorrow. Viewed before and will have to view again.😉😋
Hey there! That is awesome. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks so much!! :)
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews 🤞🏼
Awesome
Thanks, Venita!
Welcome
OMG...what a gift. A true labor of love. The color and texture of your Roux was spot on.
Thank you for the amazing effort and time involved. I will follow your instructions and report back!
Thank you so so much Charlie for making this video for us. My family and I adore this recipe! ❤️
You're welcome, not a problem. Happy to hear that you all enjoy the Gumbo recipe!
Charlie why dont you add your seasonings/vegetable s to the roux after its done cooking?? Also i never saw okra cut up like that... Im from Algiers/ Gretna
I'm going to attempt this today. I'm craving my elementary school gumbo. Wish me luck
Awesome. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks and good luck!!
As soon as I saw this in my feed all I could say was Yaassss honey Yaassss!!!!!
Ha ha ha ha Iol I know you were happy to see me return. Had to come back with a new Gumbo video. I worked harder on this one than I did with my other Gumbo video. Had to make sure everything was right!
Charlie thank you for sharing. Looks yummy.
You're welcome. I appreciate the compliments!
OMG Charlie!!!! This looks amazing, my mouth is watering!! thanks for taking the time and making us such a detailed video.
The first time I made gumbo I made it so hot that we were all sweating after the first bite. It was from scratch but I added shrimp and it was close to yours. The second go around I made it for our ambulance crews ( Children's Hospital Oakland, CA ) and the dispatcher knew the Greatful Dead band members and she invited them. They were impressed with it and we were able to listen to some great music that night. Rock on Charlie!
Wow that's good to hear. Happy that the chicken and sausage Gumbo was a success. Thank for leaving feedback!
Charlie Andrews Charlie do you taste how different the Patton sausage is? I stopped buying it I even called Patton themselves and asked why did y’all change the recipe (no one called back) I grew up eating this brand, I’m so dissatisfied.
All this happened after Katrina
@@darleneburns8906 I'm not sure what you are referring to as from a taste stand point. It's always taste the same to me. Also companies can change their formulas over time. Never had an issue with them. Always good to me.
OMG thank you Charlie for taking the time to show us this great recipe, I know making this video was alot of extra work!
+Shay Thomas You're welcome! I worked very hard on this video!
My mouth is watering....cooking is therapy and a labor of love....u Sir are the love doctor and my hat is off to u
I appreciate the compliments Tiffane. Thank you! :)
OMG! Looks so good! You should have your own show. ;)
Pamela Price Thanks for the compliments! Yes i know right but for now I'm on UA-cam! ☺
I made this for my family around Mardi Gras this year. My family loved it. My baby has requested this for her birthday this weekend. Thank you for this!
Awesome. Happy to hear that the chicken and sausage Gumbo was successful. You're welcome, not a problem. Thanks for leaving feedback!
I love your videos. I am also a New Orleans native and truly love to cook as well. Keep doing ur thing. And I made the shrimp and grits soooooo good, but added swai.
Thanks so much for the compliments! Happy to hear that you enjoy my videos.
Charlie, I didn't do every last thing, but I followed most everything. I haven't cooked in so long , for medical ( head lol) and I absolutely thank you . I am 77 years old and I surprised my family, it was a little salty , but on rice it was great. My hubby made the rice . Thank you for this memory with all our large family. My hubby does the cooking, but since he turned 80, he needs my help. We did drive by , they drove up picked their containers up and went home to eat! It didn't make their daddy/ papa as nervous. Hugs
Wow that is Awesome! I hope I can live to see 77 years! I am happy to hear that the chicken and sausage Gumbo turned out good! You're welcome no problem! Next time if you try this recipe try to add less salt to it! Thanks so much for leaving feedback!
CHARLIEEEEEEE, you are back, my stomach is getting happier by the minute, I have never made this but you know I will give your recipe a try. Thanks so much :)
Yes I am back. Sorry that I am making you hungary lol Yes give this recipe a try and let me know how it turns out. I know you're going to make me proud! :)
That's a fine lookin' gumbo, Sir!!! Grilled cheese looked great too! Gumbo has to have Okra, heck gumbo is a variation of the African word, for Okra. Thank you, Charlie.🤤🤤🤤🤤🙂🙂
I appreciate the compliments. Yes, absolutely. You're welcome, not a problem!!
I love your authentic way of cooking. Making this for the weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I put alot of hard work into it to just for ya'll. My subscribers and also for people who wants to learn how to cook from scratch! :) I appreciate all of you. That's why I try to release the best content possible. Ya'll are Awesome! :)
I've seen a lot of gumbo making recipes on you tube but after seeing this one it's the only recipe I've seen that has the gumbo color just like I've always wanted to do myself. Great tips on frying the sausages and baking the chicken. I'm definitely going to try this one. This is just what I've been looking for. Charlie you explained everything perfectly my friend. Keep it up you rock.
Thanks Thomas for all the compliments! This is one of my hardest worked on videos! I tried my best! Let me know how it turns out!
Welp, I know what ill be making soon. I like the fact that you really take the time to go over everything. Its obvious you care about what you're doing. This looked great and cant wait to try this one out!
+Joel Malcom Yes it does take a long time preparingredients the ingredients, cooking etc. Thanks so much I really appreciate it! :) Yes give this a try and let me know the results when you're done!
I watch this video every holiday and my gumbo comes out perfect each time❤

Thanks so much for the compliments. I try my best! Happy to hear that you enjoy my videos! Yes normally the Chicken and sausage Gumbo is served with grilled cheese!
Taking me back to my childhood school lunch days. This and your buttermilk drop video. You are "naturally n'awlins" as a wise man once said, from what I hear it's becoming a rarity so please keep up your energy and personality. Thank you for being here.
Happy to hear that this video brings back memories. Yes absolutely, I know exactly who you are referring to. You're welcome!
You are seriously a breath of fresh air! I could watch you all day! Thanks for all of you do! Your videos enhance my marriage... if that makes sense lol. It's so neat to see the grilled cheese! What a combination! :D
Ha ha ha ha ha I know right! I get that sometimes. I put a lot of hard work into these videos! Wow I didn't know my videos could do that to a person's marriage lol That's a good thing though. You know women likes men that can cook. Well I'll take that back some of them do lol Yes i know right the Grilled cheese just brings it all together. Thanks for commenting!
Charlie you be cooking and eating reallllllllll goooooood! I like how you compared your dish to the school lunch you had when you were younger. That’s wonderful
I know right. lol Yes absolutely. That's where a lot of my influences come from! Thank you! :)

Hello Shannon! No worries you will do good! You're welcome not a problem! :)
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews , I made the Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. It came out delicious, I hit my table😅😄😃. Thank you so much.👍
Hey Shannon! I am happy to hear that the Chicken and sausage Gumbo turned out good. Thanks for leaving feedback! :)
@@CharlieTheCookAndrews , 👍
Hey Charlie!!! Welcome back. Hope all is well. This looks delicious! Great Job!
Thank you! Yes all is good on my end! :)
I made this today and it was cooking all day. I had never eaten or made gumbo before. When Charlie says to get all the grease out of your sausage and okra, make sure you do it or the gumbo has too much grease and you'll have to skim it off. I did not use the chicken gizzards, and I had to substitute other brands of smoked and hot sausage. Other than that, I followed his directions. It was pretty good. Now, if you have never made this before, you should know that the roux smells weird, the okra smells weird; this will be a very new and unusual flavor for those who are new to gumbo!
Basically, this is tasty and is nothing like anything else I have ever eaten!! Thanks Charlie! Beautiful production and delicious recipe.
Hey there Joyce! Happy to hear that the chicken and sausage Gumbo turned out good. Thanks for leaving feedback!

My aunt was from New Orleans and a great cook. I have her recipe for gumbo. I’m from W Texas and first time I ate it I thought it was real good. I haven’t cooked it in a long time but I know she was a wonderful cook.
That is good to hear Beverly. Thanks so much for sharing!
I forgot to add that your chicken cutting skills are impressive! 😊
+Chevy Brown Thank you! I appreciate it! :) I try my best ya know!
A good sharp knife 🔪 helps tremendously.
Everyone has their own recipe for gumbo. This is a fantastic way to learn about gumbo and develop a method for yourself. Great job Charlie!
I'm sure everyone does! Thanks a lot!
You out did yourself !! Looks simply Amazing ..
+kim “Dollar tree Diva” Jackson Yes i really out did myself on this Gumbo recipe! I wanted to make sure that everything was right! Thank you soo much for commenting! :)

Omg I'm from NewOrleans born and raised and nobody cooks the same but I remember that's how the use to feed us gumbo at school with the grilled cheese
Hey Brandy! Yes i agree. They don't know nothing about that gumbo with grilled cheese. It used to be sooo good! Thanks so much for commenting my fellow New Orleans native! Good to hear from my New Orleans people!
Thank you, Charlie! Once again it is awesome to have seen your lesson in making authentic chicken and sausage gumbo from a Local. All the best to you and your video staff.

Chef Charlie, you are obviously a great chef/cook or whatever title you choose. I enjoyed listening to how you articulated each and every step of the gumbo recipe. Your demonstration was soooooo professionally executed and will be easy to duplicate. I love the way you handled and prepped all of the ingredients. I will be making your recipe for a bridal shower next month.
Thank you!!!! Keep up the good demos!!! Be Blessed Charlie, Be Blessed!
