Planning Tips
A good roux, the slow-cooked mixture of flour and fat, is the founodation of a flavorful, thick gumbo. For tips and tricks, see our Q&A with Chef John Besh »
Acadian syrup cake is traditionally served with a sauce made of satsumas, a citrus fruit native to Louisiana, but you can easily replace navel oranges if satsumas are not available.
Make the gumbo a day ahead to allow all the flavors to fully develop.

I fully understand that ads are nececesary to support a robust website. Just avoid the instand motion and instant video concept. They aren't likely to generate anything but contempt for the advertiser anyway.
