  • Charlie, Native of New Orleans (BORN AND RAISED) demonstrates in GREAT detail on how to make a Delicious and rich Gumbo. This Gumbo has Shrimp, Crabs, Smoked Sausage, Hot Sausage, Gizzards and it even has OKRA in it. In this video I will take you step by step. From making the roux, to making your stocks, to chopping up all of your seasonings and meat, to cleaning and preparing your seafood, to frying and searing your smoked sausage and hot sausage, to frying out the slime in your okra, to making the actual gumbo, cooking times etc. This is the Ultimate Gumbo video everyone. DON'T BE FOOLED BY IMITATORS. I am home to where Gumbo was born LOUISIANA. I grew up watching my family make Gumbo. I even worked at a restaurant that makes Gumbo. I really worked hard to make this video possible! Hope you all will be willing to give this a try!

My Mother Glossie B. Marshall could make some gumbo. Her secret was Shredded and Dried Shrimp and of course Gumbo File. Without Gumbo Filet there's no Gumbo.....Also just like you she could cook a lot of food in a small space. Happy New Year to you.... Charlie.

    I made this gumbo yesterday to serve today for Thanksgiving and my husband absolutely loved it.
    I wish everyone could see the look on his face when he tasted all the concentrated flavors.
    He looked like he wanted to slam his fist on the table.
    This is not my first gumbo and my gumbo was good before but this one right here is the best I've ever made, the best video I've seen, and I know that the more I practice this method the better it will be.
    A couple tips for those thinking about making this quicker or easier...DON'T.
    It took me about 14 hours to make this gumbo and I would not do anything to cut down on the time. And I enjoyed every minute.
    -The shellfish and chicken broths are worth the wait
    -Boiling the seasonings and broths with the roux is worth the wait
    -Peeling and deveining head on tail on shrimp is worth the Labor
    -frying the sausage is worth it
    Etc
    This is not supposed to to be cheap or easy

    Hi Charlie, I am a private chef and I was asked by clients to make a real Gumbo- I hardly new what it was until I started looking for a video to demystify it. I enjoyed watching your video very much- it was very clear, detailed, very well edited! and great sound. Was actually very nice and relaxing to watch you cook a dish you obviously know so well :) Then I followed the recipe and method (I made a huge pot) for more than 20 people. I was pretty spot on with everything but I left out the okra as per request. It really tasted amazingly great- and my guests were blown away by how good it was. Many thanks for taking the time and grace to share your knowledge. I'm also so happy to have learnt a new dish! :9 Bless

    I have a love story about Gumbo. I met this amazing family out in California the couple was originally from New Orleans. They made some authentic Gumbo with all the fixings and that bowl of Gumbo I had or two lol 😂 I was blown away.I fell in love with Louisiana food. I felt at home and warm inside .I met a girl from a singing group from Changing Faces there such a down to earth family. But a girl from the islands started making Louisiana food. I made my first authentic red beans and rice recipe from that great family and I made it for my Polynesian family and it was a hit. They requesting me to make em again. I will make this Gumbo for sure. I need to visit New Orleans for the food and the Martiqua and the people so hospitable .On my list after this pandemic.

      Great! Yes it does take a long time to prepare and cook! Preparing it is the hardest part. Make sure you prepare things early. Your roux can be prepared weeks or months in advanced. Your seasonings can be prepared 2 days in advanced before you cook your gumbo! Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting!

She said, "I'll only have a little bit of it because I don't know if you can pull it off like we do in NO"... She smelled it, and said, "This is EXACTLY the way gumbo is supposed to smell"....

EVERYONE said my gumbo was delicious and I owe it all to you! I followed your exact instructions as I spent way too much money and time on the ingredients to mess it up and went to several markets to find everything fresh as you stated. I didn't do the sausage balls but found everything else here in Los Angeles, Ca. Where I reside, at markets that carry Louisiana products here.
    Made everything from scratch and everything fresh. Thanks again Charlie for the BEST GUMBO RECIPE EVER! 😘

    Hey Charlie, I'm getting ready to make this recipe again today! It has become a tradition here in Vegas that when the first signs of Spring sprout up (before it gets too warm), we make gumbo, and bbq wings. I always use your recipes, particularly this Gumbo recipe because it's the best I've had. We lived in Algiers for three years, and I tell you what, the whole three years I never had a gumbo as delicious as this one! Thank you for your recipes! We love you Charlie!

And it was amazing, it took two days. I don’t change the recipe but I do add Tarragon to my rice. I got pics on my Facebook page.

      Yeah I'm on day two now. Did the chicken stock one day, did the shrimp stock today, and I'll assemble it all and cook it all together in a few days when i get my authentic seasonings from AMAZON... lol... Gotta go hunt down a hot sausage today. Might be hard to find in Nevada. And then I'm going to have to punt on the crabs. I know I can't get those little guys anywhere around here.

    Charlie-this recipe is a masterpiece-I’ve read many cookbooks describing how to make the NOLA dark roux, but now I actually get it after seeing you make yours. Also-mincing, frying, and draining the okra is a master stroke. Your cakes are miracles, and your gumbo appears to be heaven-sent as well. Thank you so much for your superb recipes, buddy!
