Get to Know Us

At The Gumbo Gourmet, everything begins with roux. It’s the heart of gumbo, and it’s the heart of who we are—rich, soulful, and rooted in tradition.

What started in 2005 as a small dream in Alabama has grown into a culinary brand that blends authenticity with innovation. From pop-ups and catering to our signature Gumbo Starter Roux Base, we’ve spent nearly two decades perfecting ways to share the bold, comforting taste of gumbo with more people, more kitchens, and more occasions.

But we’re more than just gumbo. We’re about connection—bringing people together over a bowl of something warm, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. Whether you’re a restaurant looking to expand your menu, a company planning your next team event, or a gumbo lover craving a taste of home, our mission is the same:
Serve gumbo, the way you want it.
