Thank the lord for blessing us with Bruce. I'm going to cooking this this week for my family brother. Thanks again from Australia. God bless you.

[@weeches]

i always loved the idea of gumbo. “its everything” as a low income kid, growing up those were the best dishes, anything my mom could throw together just to fill out stomachs 🙏🏽

[@jaymond80]

I’ve lived in south Louisiana and cooked gumbo my whole life and never seen a roux done like that. Absolutely awesome. I’m trying this roux this week!

[@raymondsimpson7433]

I worked for tidewater and a man told me he would put a whole sack of flour in a cake pan and bake it in the oven till it got as dark as he liked it then store it in a Mason jar till he was ready to use it.

[@ronnierocha9894]

you should make a video also, I am trying to learn how too. I can't seem to find a restaurant that would make authentic gumbo here in Corpus Christi, Tx

[@raymondphillips8210]

I cook mine in a frying pan in the oven

[@raymondsimpson7433]

@@ronnierocha9894 I use the skillet method on top of the stove, oil and flour, and here's a little secret, the darker the roux the better the flavor and the more roux you use will make it thicker you have to find just the right spot lol.

[@jeffforbess6802]

That’s how they do it in restaurants. Gotta be careful in the oven. Flour can self-immolate. Definitely better to do that outside.

[@jamesswick7534]

Met Bruce a few years ago. He and his wife were such kind genuine people.

Wow...have lived in Louisiana 50 years. Spent 30 of those cooking in many styles of restaurants. Have cooked gumbo countless times. But that roux cook was one of the coolest thing I've seen in my time.

[@elizabethmitchell9536]

I concur! I was mesmerized!!

[@baptizednblood6813]

For real. I was like, it never looks like that when I make roux and I like to make a dark roux too. I’ve never added oil like that, I’ll have to try that, plus I only have a deep pan I cook it in, not a griddle

This man is a sight for sore eyes. Takes me back to the early seasons of Swamp People, over 10 years ago when I was 18. I recall a lovely young lady I was seeing, drove over from the next state. I was watching the show, and she turned off the TV. I was confused and turned it back on. 😂 Lol Thinking back, I should've paid more attention to her in that moment that night.. I miss her.

Amen 🙏🏼 I feel the same way

[@SetkoM420]

I always liked this guy on Swamp People. . He was out there alone pulling them huge gators out of the water. . Bad ass man. .

[@patriot3636]

I was in the Army with a few guys from the Bayou and they all cooked such awesome food. Gumbo and crayfish boils were my favorites. You can order gumbo in a restaurant, but unless it's real Bayou based, it'll just never measure up. My wife and I love your videos and your cooking is so awesome. We've learned some of your secrets, but we'll never measure up. Thank you, for insight and food!!

[@benjaminharrisongray9079]

Absolute favorite meal ever.

[@greanstreak04]

If Bruce had a restaurant, I would drive from Florida to eat there...

[@dsilva2012]

Just don't use self rising flour

[@rivabenzikri77]

Are you really going to tell me that is just browned flour and oil

[@BoofsBopHouse]

​@rivabenzikri77 yeah!! It's important for a good gumbo

[@thomaszielinski4326]

​@rivabenzikri77 Yeah, usually you just add oil and let to heat up, then add your flour and constantly stir until it becomes the color you want it. This is what the call a dry roux, which has a different taste and I believe thickens it more since it's more flour than oil instead of the 1:1 ratio of a normal roux.

[@me2boi]

He got good intentions but I wouldn't eat that bucket of slop..have fun with that.

[@lemonhead162]

My mouth is watering imagining how good that gumbo was.

[@kducharme710]

Looks amazing 👏

[@TheKudukiller]

I’ve made this several times on my Blackstone, it has come out perfect every time. I’ve had people change their plans at the last minute and drive 50 miles when they heard I was making this recipe, with a few personal touches of mine. Highly recommend this dish on a Blackstone

This was the first time to see one of Bruce's video and really enjoyed it. He is so easy going with the way he talks and appears on the video. He is not getting excited, or slinging his hands when he is talking. So many on these cooking video are putting on a show for you as they are cooking but there is no need for all that. Just make it simple to watch and hear, I really enjoyed this one and plan to see a lot more. Thanks your videos are great .

You need your own cooking show. I miss my dad cooking his gumbo and Bruce you just brought back memories of when we go to Biloxi Ms. Born in the Mississippi Delta and we ate alot of Gumbo. Ever time we go to the coast we stay at some campground and dad would fix his version of gumbo. We catch our crabs , he buy chicken and sausage at the store . We then , as he know where to go catch the Shrimpers and buy shrimp from them right off the boat . He have all the ingredients and make the best gumbo I ever ate. I sure like to try yours. I know my dad would've loved a Blackstone grill.

[@RuSosan]

Yeah, that's super handy and fast for a big pot of stew for sure. Compared to my usual pot+wok pan on stove there's just no competition. And that flat top also yields a more even browning on all the ingredients. I wish I had one, could just cook a huge pot of stew on sundays and eat it all week with sandwiches on the side.
