We were in Louisiana in January and stopped first at Avery Island and then went to Conrad Rice Mill in New Iberia and took their tour. What a delight that was, but the movie they played talked about making gumbo and that the secret was the roux and the heavy cast iron pan that is needed to cook the gumbo in. By the time the tour was over, I was so hungry for gumbo, my mouth was squirting. Asked the lady where to go get some and she gave us directions to this little place called Bon Creole and said it was next to an RV dealer I am so glad she mentioned that little fact. This restaurant's sign had faded away about 20 years ago and you could just make out the "rant" part. But the gumbo was absolutely to die for and I was really sad that we were leaving the following day, because had we stayed, we would have gone back to try their other offerings.
Anyway, point of this post, ITS THE ROUX and the PAN.
