Chris, I am a 74 year old Southern white woman who really enjoys watching your joy in cooking. I also appreciate you scraping your bowls, or pots out and not wasting. My daddy was a farmer, and we grew up knowing where our food came from ( I had 10 brothers and sisters ). One more comment if I may..........I'm happy that you give thanks to the ONE who gives us all things. Give your son thanks for sharing his recipe, as I plan to make it soon. May Our FATHER richly bless you. Jan Nance

[@kderouen83]

The best thing about gumbo is that everyone makes theirs differently. I love trying other people's gumbo. It says a lot about the things they like and how they may have grown up. This one looks tasty, I would love to try it. I have made all kinds of gumbo but I have never put turkey necks in it. I think I'll try that this weekend.

Dear Miss ChrisCook, I have watched literally a hundred videos on how to cook gumbo. Yours is likely the closest to Miss Betty's; a true Cajun lady who I loved and respected more than anyone could know. I'm going to watch your video a few more times so I can actually write down your methods. I am from Southern Indiana, but during the course of 26 years, I was stationed (in the Navy) mostly in the Southern states ( including New Orleans) for a majority of my career. Thank you darlin' .

Thank you for such a fantastic recipe!!! Also, it really helped me when you checked in every 8 minutes or so to show what color and consistency your roux should be!!!

[@phyllislen]

This is an absolute amazing way of gumbo cooking. I just know its excellent. The corm is always optional. I have always had corn in the gumbo from others who cook it, along with myself. Chris, you are a prayful , lovable soul, who just happens to cook the hell out of some food. Stay blessed, and safe out here. Thanks for recipe, this will be my next to go to gumbo recipe!!

A beautiful gumbo dish. I haven't had it for many years. My mother who has passed on used to make this every Christmas using the same ingredients and making the same quantity for family.

Really nice video, with heart! Nice message, too, 'cause your right: Jesus IS the reason for the season! For a minute there, I felt that you conveyed the warmth that can only be found by standing next to you in in the kitchen, helping you cook! You have a comfortable style...I make my gumbo very similar to your process- a few variations, 'course, but nonetheless, very close. Happy New Year, and keep those stove pots warm. Again, pleasent to watch! PS-- The onion soup mix addition was a new one on me. I use it often enough in other things, but never in this application... I'll have to remember that!

I'm actually from North East Louisiana (Shreveport) and up here, people do it all sorts of ways. Funny story.... while I was at college in south Louisiana and a friend of mine from New Orleans mom made her gumbo and offered me some. I was so excited to get my 1st ever authentic New Orleans LA gumbo....😡... I was thoroughly disappointed. So everybody here does it differently.

[@oddiseus]

Thank you for the video! I just wooped up a batch of your/son's gumbo! Its AMAZING! I must say that I only had to re-try my roux once, I blame it on the fact that I thought I could deglaze the pan with the fat/flour. Anyhow, an hour of stirring later its amazing! Thanks again!
