Who Got the Gumbo!?

[Kurt]

With the 25th annual Sandestin Gumbo Festival coming up I thought I would ask - what local restaurant has a great bowl of gumbo? Who has your favorite? Stinky's, Grayton Bar & Grill, Marigny ... ????

Let's start a SoWal List of grayt GUMBO.

I love many good bowls in the area, especially 98 BBQ! John won the gumbo festival for 5 years in a row.

I love the duck gumbo with potatoes (instead of rice) a V Seagrove. It had a wonderful dark roux, and it has been cooking long enough to have a rich depth of flavor.

That sounds divine!

Shorty's is quite good and so is Pompano Joe's and Stinky's! Will have to try Marigny. Does Messina's have gumbo?

Anyone been to Messina's yet?

Yes, I went to Messina's with a friend for brunch last Sunday. I ordered the 7 layer breakfast lasagna and he ordered the vegetarian egg's benedict. We both thought what we had was fabulous! I want to go back to try the bar-b-que shrimp which I still remember as some of the best shrimp I have ever eaten. I tried them in NOLA. My only complaint with them is that they are not open for lunch.

They will be open for lunch in March last I heard.
