After moving to north Texas from south Louisiana in 2015, I began to crave food from home. I drove all over the DFW and found a few really great places and a few that were no so great. Unfortunately, the really good ones were too far to drive to on a regular basis. I figured it was time I learned good, authentic Cajun recipes to cook for myself and my family. For the next few days, I camped out in the kitchen with a bag of flour, a jug of oil, a cast iron pot, and Justin Wilson on youtube. It took a while, but I finally made a roux I was happy with! It was time to build my first gumbo. I looked at so many recipes, I confused myself. A few hours after taking bits and pieces from different recipes, I had completed my first ever pot of gumbo!! The pot was way too big for me, my wife, and my son; so I took it over to my aunt and uncle’s house to share with them and my cousins and get some honest feedback. That’s when I knew I was on to something! Not only did everyone enjoy it, I was told that it tasted just like my late grandma, Tillie Naquin Daigle’s gumbo! To me, I could not have received a better compliment, and as they say, “the rest is history”.
