Gumbo/CATERING

Howard Gumbo is a family recipe passed down from Ruth Parks herself from the heart of Louisiana, New Orleans. It consists of Dungeness crab legs, shrimp, crab meat, hot links, and her famous roux and occasionally smoked ham if specified along with hot warm jasmine rice served on the side.
