17 years of culinary experience, currently an executive chef at a high end restaurant and this is the first time I hear someone say “the rice is overpowering”
You need to add flavor to the Rice, its the only reason soy sauce was invented 🤣 the " Rice taste being overpowering" is something I never heard in my 15 kitchen years. 🤣 too much Rice per ratio maybe, but the "flavor" of Rice being overpowering? She definetly was petty to make sure she won
Please bring back the blindfolds so the contestants can taste and rate their own food. & I think y’all should do.. Black aunties rate eachother’s peach cobbler, or grandmas & greens!
Exactly two of the three are very…suspect and everyone knows which two 😂 their look, choice of words even the way they sound is giving i got my recipe from the cooking network and my grandparents are Cajun/creole so by association I must be too🤔
@@mysteriousgirl935 Idk, they all looked Creole... but I do question the LA girl's Creole-ness, based on her accent and the fact Erma was able to pinpoint California just by tasting her "gumbo".
Erma should of won. She won by a point there wasnt no need for Sherry to come in and judge she didnt make any gumbo nor was it a tie. Erma u won simply because your gumbo looked good, your roux was a good dark color,u put okra in it, u have a great personality and u wasn't biased. I aint never heard un seasoned rice being overpowering in Gumbo.
This is bs! Erma won the first one fair and square ! Only reason it was close was petty hateful.Brianna voting herself up and down voting everyone else! Clue 1 if you've got an obvious to the viewing audience hater judging don't do a revote to.benefit that hater.2. Have a 4th judge who.isnt a contestant on the panel so it is fairly judged!3. Also do the judging blindfolded!
In which planet the roux is considered a sauce? Honestly the only one who looked like real gumbo was Emma's. I died when the girl said "The rice is overpowering the flavor". Brianna could be Cassandra's granddaughter: Where's the flavaaaaa? LMAO
Erma wins. For her hair. And those glasses. And her country. And her smaller-townness. And her whisper. And her reluctant disapproval. I bet she was wearing flats or sandals. I want to give her a hug.
Erma’s gumbo looked absolutely fire. That with a little potato salad (my family doesn’t do fruit in theirs, praise every higher power that has ever been praised) would be fire
Erma deserved to win her dish looked really good and I know I can’t tell if it tastes as good as it looks but she was very respectful of everyone else’s dishes. Brianna saying “the rice overpowered the flavors” lost me 🥲 rice doesn’t have flavor 😂
Right like I’m a second generation Asian (Bengali) and when I cook Asian foods without my mom’s help, it never turns out like hers or the taste like genuine Asian dishes. Erma’s gumbo looks really good. Idek what it is or ever heard of it but it has okra which I love and looks tasty
@@faerieangeltaitai ??? not sure what u are trying to say. I know they live in LA, hence why they are cast. This is why I asked her if she has a travel budget because she wants them to travel to the south.
The creole family who taught me to make gumbo (I'm still a rookie) puts so much seafood in it. They like to call it bottom of the sea gumbo. I love love love it. Their family gumbo was my very first experience with gumbo and no other gumbo has ever compared to their family recipe for me.
Erma won ! There’s no reason for a tie breaker if Erma clearly got the highest score 😭 Also how is rice overpowering ? Brianna was just being petty and wanted too win so she gave everybody a low score🤦♀️ also Brianna barely could even find something too say about Ermas that’s why she said the rice overpowering cause she couldn’t think of anything else that would make sense
literally as an east asian who's grown up eating literal plain rice for fun it's so hard to ever come across situations where rice is "overpowering" lmfao especially NOT when gumbo is involved.
It’s ironic how Briana referred to Raquel’s gumbo as LA version, but from LA her damn self and made the exact same thing [🕸🕷 man meme] slightly flavorful
i think they did it because there was such a difference in the way that erma and the other lady voted. my guess is they voted that way due to regional differences but either way I agree with you
@@relaxwithme3398 they should have another judge that doesn't have a dish in the running but not her. She's not a good judge of food, she hardly ate any of Erma's food.
I'm middle eastern and honestly i love watching your channel and learning about other foods, and cultures it amazes me of how uneducated i was. anyways now i am a huge fan-
I think (maybe most) said they don’t live in New Orleans anymore and it was probably a long time since they live in New Orleans so they lost the accent
@@stellarvgurl Yes one definition of gumbo is okra but another is “a fine clay soil that becomes sticky when wet” does that mean gumbo has to have clay in it? Another definition is “a type of cajun music” foes that mean gumbo has to have music in it? The definition argument is terrible tbh words can mean more than one thing
I think last taste tester has an issue with the okra in that gumbo. Some people just don’t like the taste of it. I think Erma’s gumbo looked and probably tasted the best. I also wonder why Brianna said butter, butter, butter 🤔. I’ve eaten and made my fair share of gumbos and I’ve never once heard or used butter in it. And I’m a born and raised south Louisianan.
Exactly I could see if she said the rice is TAKING AWAY from the taste but ain’t no way rice can add to let alone overpower anything unless of course she accidentally dumped the salt shaker in the rice trying to salt the water 😂 other wise there’s just no way
The tiebreaker rated everyone's dish low. Barely gave any critic just moved pass each of them as if she was in a hurry. Please get better people who are cooks that evaluate the dishes FAIRLY.
@cocoabutter please get better contestants (4 rather than 3 to add variety, who have been recommended as good home cooks) and it’ll transform this good show into awesome.
The fact that Brianna said SAUCE! Girl, it's roux! 😅 and how is the rice overpowering!?!? The first lady look like she made a bisque! 🤣. Erma's definitely looked more authentic
Brianna: the sauce… Me: *mutes her parts in the video* As a Louisiana native… I shook my head several times but Erma made me SCREECH with that whispering like she ain’t hooked up to a mic 🤣🤣🤣
Sherry was the only one not being catty. She just needs to season her food but her disposition wins. The other two, especially Brianna, were doing the most. And how y’all gonna have Sherry (the chef that likes burnt food) be the tie breaker? Nah. A “do over”please!

Brianna a bird nobody asked for her secret California recipe, Sherry didn't even try Erma's gumbo she literally had a small piece of chicken no okra and cheated Erma out that win. They got the score right without Sherry, Erma won imo. ✊🏿
Stay out of Louisiana ppl business! I was suppose to be able to taste a shrimp and be in love! Our good aunt Erma just didn’t have it! Don’t shoot the messenger! 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you I’m not from down south at all but I got a heart like one and let me say Erma won that one her gumbo looked so delicious and I hate okra but I’m pretty sure I would have loved her gumbo
@@chefsherryg.7239 Gumbo isnt just about shrimp tho so you basically admitted that you judged unfairly. you were judging their interpretation of Gumbo, not what YOU expect.
I understand this is likely filmed in LA, so the pool of Louisiana ppl to choose from is small BUT y’all could’ve at least chose ppl who know what a ROUX is 🥴
Exactly...like why would she disrespect it talking bout "the sauce blah blah" UH WHAT SAUCE?? You mean the ROUX wasn't dark enough? I mean at least use the correct terminology before you start hating
Dang right!! Had to change mine over the years but it always has the basic stuff lol. Also if you like spice, add Slap Your Mama seasoning. It’s good stuff lol
Go Erma! Showing off your gumbo skills, representing all of Eunice and Southwest Louisiana. Your citified country twang had me cracking up! You were whispering like there wasn't a camera in ya face............but, it's ok, that was the Eunice in you coming out🤣🤣🤣
I think she meant there was too much rice, because the other lady mentioned she likes less rice when she tried that one. But I don't know why she phrased it like that.
My grandmother, born in 1886 in coastal South Carolina, made a wonderful, dark gumbo. She always used okra as a thickener and added more before serving, the sassafras being used as a sprinkled seasoning. Her gumbos/stews usually had heaps of seafood, but you might also find, chicken, squirrel, or rabbit. By the way, a friend from the Caribbean (Barbados?) always brought or sent her sassafras--all parts of the plant--with which she made her own file and my grandfather made a rather strong rootbeer. She would not use the sassafras available on the mainland, but I never learned why. Any ideas?
Re Shoot the whole episode with real Louisiana natives….the best creole cooks come from Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles……. P.S no accent = no flavor😂
Brianna gives off those "I'm better than you" vibes. Look at how she looks at the others food with a snotty look of disgust on her face. meanwhile, her gumbo looks like what comes out the back end during a bad bout of stomach flu.
They’re definitely from Louisiana. I’m creole as well and definitely can tell my people lol but when you move to another state and live there for so many years your accent definitely goes away which sucks
I'm from Louisiana born and raised, still here and they need to throw the whole episode away. There is different levels to our cooking here all over this great state.
Erma won hands down……I love her sense of humor…Did y’all catch on when she said Raquel must didn’t hang with her mama because her gumbo wasn’t made right😭😭😭😭😭. Brianna was a straight up hater attitude straight up horrible…
I am from New Orleans and I ran to watch this video. I knew that everybody was going to hate on each others' gumbo because the best gumbo is always ya momma's.
I've been patiently waiting on a Gumbo Try video. WHO MAKES GUMBO WITHOUT OKRA? It's not Gumbo if it doesn't have Okra. It's just soup. And it has to have a kick. This is why I don't really like a lot of Creole recipes. We make Gullah style gumbo in my house. Mine would beat all of these easily, but Erma's was the best looking out of the 3.
Gullah style? Thats not real gumbo. Also it has to have clay in it since one definition of gumbo is “a fine clay soil that becomes sticky when wet”. If you have to add okra because of the definition of the word gumbo you must add clay as well
Whew Chile there was just a lot of Nooooo’s in the supposive “unbiased” gumbo tasting lol how is roux “sauce” automatic two strikes then how can rice overpower a dish?! Three strikes and they’re out lol
I hate when they judge a food based on how it looks. Some food is “ugly delicious” as David Chang says. Some of the best food is not pretty, and gumbo is one of them.
I agree, but some of them take it too far acting like it’s gonna poison them or something. I would get it if it was like neon green or something, but they all looked fine
Exactly. Now I know your review is gonna be biased because even if the food ends up being good they wanna keep pretending like it’s bad to save face cause they already made such a big deal out of it looking gross
They should not have brought Sherry back to judge this. Cause you could tell she don't like okra and Brianna with "the rice is overpowering" girl if you don't GiT! Y'all robbed Erma and I am UPSET lol.
I know these types of personalities are more “fun” to watch, comment, and engage with, and I’m feeding the algorithm gods, but can we get some more humble and nicer people? Some of them liked the food in the past but gave it a 3 or a 5. The Italian moms at BuzzfeedUK are a good example. You can review/critique a food but not be nasty
Yes the Italian moms and the British mums were my favorites. They were proud of their dishes but gave credit and enjoyed the other dishes too.. The Italian moms gave some of the highest scores!
Definitely. The British moms were nice too. Gave credit where credit was due, wasn’t too harsh in their criticism. I like the people here but some of them wouldn’t even try a decent bite or they have gave like a 1
Okra gumbos are normally done more in Cajun country aka Lafayette and surrounding areas. At least that’s the kind of gumbo I grew up having living there. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a N.O gumbo with okra.
Thank you for combatting Creole erasure by adding women of different shades etc. All too often people assume that being creole is more about looking like Prince than it is an an entire culture and history. Can you do creole grandmas try each others etouffee or shrimp stew next? ( preferably those who know that the alleged "sauce" is called "roux🤦🏾♀️ lol)
Thank you for mentioning this!! I think this all the time!! Usually when people think⚜️ Louisiana Creoles ⚜️they think very passe blanc. We come in so many shades even just between close close kin
@@ErinDeBuitleir Right?! With creole families ...or families of African decent of any kind; rather the parents are passe blanc, Griffon/on or more African/Haitian than anything, I have yet to see a single black family where everybody is the same shade.
17 years of culinary experience, currently an executive chef at a high end restaurant and this is the first time I hear someone say “the rice is overpowering”

How is the rice overpowering? Rice is quiet and minds its own business

I said the same thing. But this Louisiana girl gonna mind her business.
LITERALLY SAID THE SAME THING!
Exactlyyyy
😂
At least we're all in agreement that Erna deserved the win and that Brianna was just abrasive and sour the whole time
Brianna can go back home. Lol ERMA

"abrasive and sour" isn't how I would have described her. LOL
The entire time!!
Erma's gumbo looked best, I love how Brianna talking about how the first one looked unappetizing while hers looked like swamp water.

Y’all disrespectful for playing with Louisiana like this!
Ikr, The nerve!
They need to stop getting these folks who's palettes have conformed to West Coast flavors to represent other places cuisines... disrespectful
I’m not from Louisiana and even I was like, “this can’t be who y’all rolling with!”
Brianna a bird nobody asked for her secret California recipe, Sherry didn't even try Erma's gumbo she literally had a small piece of chicken no okra and cheated Erma out that win. They got the score right without Sherry, Erma won imo. ✊🏿
Stay out of Louisiana ppl business! I was suppose to be able to taste a shrimp and be in love! Our good aunt Erma just didn’t have it! Don’t shoot the messenger! 🤷🏽♀️
@@chefsherryg.7239 shot
@@nonameinserted7619 😂 😂
Thank you I’m not from down south at all but I got a heart like one and let me say Erma won that one her gumbo looked so delicious and I hate okra but I’m pretty sure I would have loved her gumbo
@@chefsherryg.7239 Gumbo isnt just about shrimp tho so you basically admitted that you judged unfairly. you were judging their interpretation of Gumbo, not what YOU expect.
I'm sitting here thinking to myself how is RICE overpowering. Y'all brought back the It's Smoky, flavorful but too-juicy pork Chef back🤣
I understand this is likely filmed in LA, so the pool of Louisiana ppl to choose from is small BUT y’all could’ve at least chose ppl who know what a ROUX is 🥴
Yeah, but a lot of black people in California came from Texas and Louisiana, so it's their heritage.
They did describe it as roux
Exactly...like why would she disrespect it talking bout "the sauce blah blah" UH WHAT SAUCE?? You mean the ROUX wasn't dark enough? I mean at least use the correct terminology before you start hating
Justice for Erma , that won was stolen and y’all know it, that tie breaker was not needed at all
Everyone has their own gumbo recipe. As long as you start with roux, onions, bell peppers, celery then you’re off to a good start
Dang right!! Had to change mine over the years but it always has the basic stuff lol. Also if you like spice, add Slap Your Mama seasoning. It’s good stuff lol
unless you add corn potatoes or carrots lol
Go Erma! Showing off your gumbo skills, representing all of Eunice and Southwest Louisiana. Your citified country twang had me cracking up! You were whispering like there wasn't a camera in ya face............but, it's ok, that was the Eunice in you coming out🤣🤣🤣
Facts! The 337 got some of the best cooks. And some towns in my 225 🔥
Eunice is near Opelousas though not east of New Orleans
How does rice overpower the flavor??? Girl STOP!! 🛑
That part! I was like huh
I think she meant there was too much rice, because the other lady mentioned she likes less rice when she tried that one. But I don't know why she phrased it like that.
Ikr she’s so stuck up and annoying, can’t cook either!
I think she means that they put too much rice in the bowl…because gumbo is really a soup.
Literally was thinking this like girl if you a hater just say that 🙄 craziest thing I ever heard
My grandmother, born in 1886 in coastal South Carolina, made a wonderful, dark gumbo. She always used okra as a thickener and added more before serving, the sassafras being used as a sprinkled seasoning. Her gumbos/stews usually had heaps of seafood, but you might also find, chicken, squirrel, or rabbit. By the way, a friend from the Caribbean (Barbados?) always brought or sent her sassafras--all parts of the plant--with which she made her own file and my grandfather made a rather strong rootbeer. She would not use the sassafras available on the mainland, but I never learned why. Any ideas?
Strains taste differently with salty air as opposed to humid
“She wasn’t with her mama “ comment got me crying lol
Re Shoot the whole episode with real Louisiana natives….the best creole cooks come from Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles……. P.S no accent = no flavor😂
No accent no flavor 😂 facts!
No accent no flavor 😂 a truth ya talk
Ok! I said this soon as I heard them talk
Thank you 💓
I'm from Lake Charles...I don't have an accent and my food is 🔥!!! Don't be fooled by that accent.🤣
Brianna gives off those "I'm better than you" vibes. Look at how she looks at the others food with a snotty look of disgust on her face. meanwhile, her gumbo looks like what comes out the back end during a bad bout of stomach flu.
“It just taste like shrimp soup” that got the whole squad laughing for me
Y’all should do dressing, peach cobbler, greens, Turkey necks, for us down south lol
Yasss don't leave us out. I can cook done dressing
They did peach cobbler before
Man now I want some turkey necks
They have one with sweet potato pie.
definitely collard greens
Brianna should’ve heard the commentary before letting that win go to her head 😂😂
Brianna and Raqu- made soup. Erma made GUMBO, she should have won honestly.
i’m not even from Louisiana but i can tell they aint either
the unbiased judge was probably the only one that is really from there
as a native Louisianan I can confirm the unbiased judge is from New Orleans as I know her
They’re definitely from Louisiana. I’m creole as well and definitely can tell my people lol but when you move to another state and live there for so many years your accent definitely goes away which sucks
I know Erma and she is definitely from Louisiana....
I'm from Louisiana born and raised, still here and they need to throw the whole episode away. There is different levels to our cooking here all over this great state.
Ol girl had the audacity to shit on both bowls of gumbo and they brought hers out looking like it came from an oil change 😂
Erma won hands down……I love her sense of humor…Did y’all catch on when she said Raquel must didn’t hang with her mama because her gumbo wasn’t made right😭😭😭😭😭. Brianna was a straight up hater attitude straight up horrible…
Why they even brought that Sherry girl there in the first place, the other girl one
Erma won the comments and the way her dish looked. Wish I could taste it while she whispers and tries not to talk bad about people, LOVED HER
Nah, she said the rice was overpowering but that lady gumbo looked way better than hers. Hater 7:02
I am from New Orleans and I ran to watch this video. I knew that everybody was going to hate on each others' gumbo because the best gumbo is always ya momma's.
Or Big Mama’s
I feel like this episode needs a redo honestly
Wut we'yall wanna kno
is wutz Erma got cookn ina kitchun
😃😋
The only reason that girl won is because that guest chef doesn't like the taste of okra....Erma definitely IS the true WINNER here....
I just be Erma had this in the bag. Then the tie breaker went inception on us,
#bringErmaback
I've been patiently waiting on a Gumbo Try video. WHO MAKES GUMBO WITHOUT OKRA? It's not Gumbo if it doesn't have Okra. It's just soup. And it has to have a kick. This is why I don't really like a lot of Creole recipes. We make Gullah style gumbo in my house. Mine would beat all of these easily, but Erma's was the best looking out of the 3.
Gullah style? Thats not real gumbo. Also it has to have clay in it since one definition of gumbo is “a fine clay soil that becomes sticky when wet”. If you have to add okra because of the definition of the word gumbo you must add clay as well
@@blybroncs15 The Gullah-Geechee (SC/GA) arrived in America FIRST! Also with gumbo... TF is you talking about it's not real ?
2:42 - That roux was thin and raw?
4:55 - The rice is overpowering? Girl!
The Louisiana in me when she called roux a sauce, hurt my soul..
Whew Chile there was just a lot of Nooooo’s in the supposive “unbiased” gumbo tasting lol how is roux “sauce” automatic two strikes then how can rice overpower a dish?! Three strikes and they’re out lol
Let me know when yall reshoot this video. And Erma should judge the Tie Breaker!!
The definition of gumbo is literally okra! Why would you not put any in there? Lol
I’m so triggered.
LITERALLLY
Because we don’t🤷🏾♀️
There’s two different types of gumbo in louisiana. Okra gumbo and roux gumbo. The okra and roux are the base for each type.
Lots of Creoles and Cajuns alike don’t. There different variations of gumbo and there always have been since the start of making gumbo.
Racquel didn’t deserve those low points she was so sweet
Erma won! Adding that person in the end was stupid imo
I hate when they judge a food based on how it looks. Some food is “ugly delicious” as David Chang says. Some of the best food is not pretty, and gumbo is one of them.
I agree, but some of them take it too far acting like it’s gonna poison them or something. I would get it if it was like neon green or something, but they all looked fine
@@TS-xn1mc thank you, like why bother participating in the competition if you gonna act like a dickhead lol 🙄
Exactly. Now I know your review is gonna be biased because even if the food ends up being good they wanna keep pretending like it’s bad to save face cause they already made such a big deal out of it looking gross
Gumbo is not ugly and nobody wants to eat food that looks disgusting 🤢 I for sure don’t and will judge accordingly
while gumbo is not a pretty looking dish, brianna's "gumbo" looked like swamp water
They should not have brought Sherry back to judge this. Cause you could tell she don't like okra and Brianna with "the rice is overpowering" girl if you don't GiT! Y'all robbed Erma and I am UPSET lol.
I know these types of personalities are more “fun” to watch, comment, and engage with, and I’m feeding the algorithm gods, but can we get some more humble and nicer people? Some of them liked the food in the past but gave it a 3 or a 5. The Italian moms at BuzzfeedUK are a good example. You can review/critique a food but not be nasty
Yes the Italian moms and the British mums were my favorites. They were proud of their dishes but gave credit and enjoyed the other dishes too.. The Italian moms gave some of the highest scores!
Definitely. The British moms were nice too. Gave credit where credit was due, wasn’t too harsh in their criticism. I like the people here but some of them wouldn’t even try a decent bite or they have gave like a 1
YES!!!! i hate the nasty attitudes and no real critiques!!
Some of these videos just get my blood pressure rising 😂
Nah this ain’t real gumbo Imma need the grandma with the bunions cooking my gumbo
Rice being overpowering is WILD. Now you’re just finding stuff to say 😂
“I’m super fake and my attitude will stank”
Brianna, probably
Who doesn't put okra in gumbo?! That's like chicken noodle soup with no chicken
I don’t🤷🏾♀️
i dont and im from
New orleans baby nawl
The people that don’t put okra in their gumbo just don’t know how to make okra without it being slimy. Gotta pan fry it first
Okra gumbos are normally done more in Cajun country aka Lafayette and surrounding areas. At least that’s the kind of gumbo I grew up having living there. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a N.O gumbo with okra.
@@debmiller450 gumbo literally means okra.
Brianna gives those “I finished psych 101 lemme diagnose u” vibes
Thank you for combatting Creole erasure by adding women of different shades etc. All too often people assume that being creole is more about looking like Prince than it is an an entire culture and history.
Can you do creole grandmas try each others etouffee or shrimp stew next? ( preferably those who know that the alleged "sauce" is called "roux🤦🏾♀️ lol)
Thank you for mentioning this!! I think this all the time!! Usually when people think⚜️ Louisiana Creoles ⚜️they think very passe blanc. We come in so many shades even just between close close kin
@@ErinDeBuitleir Right?! With creole families ...or families of African decent of any kind; rather the parents are passe blanc, Griffon/on or more African/Haitian than anything, I have yet to see a single black family where everybody is the same shade.
@@autumnasters that is very true. My family is a very good example of this.i don't know why people get so confused when u tell them that
@@ErinDeBuitleir yeah that will always be weird to me. Especially when WE'RE surprised by it
I think we need another gumbo competition because it doesn't seem like anyone really knocked it out of the park
It be the people who’s food looks like puppy chow that has the most to say 😂
This is too upsetting 😅
Brianna did NOT deserve to win. Neither for her pretentious attitude nor for her food👎🏾
Briana from California referred to roux as sauce. I started punching the air!!
Real talk had me mad as hell
Sho'enuf dat
1st come da roux.
next come everything else.
I don't get bringing an extra person to taste test when there was a literal winner already lol
