When making a great gumbo, focus on the roux and high-quality local ingredients. The roux determines texture and color, requiring time and attention. Local ingredients like Andouille, South Carolina white shrimp, and Gold Rice add authentic flavor. The process involves slow rendering of bacon, preparing a dark roux, and adding key ingredients for a rich, flavorful result.

Dry Manhattan (Brooklyn) Cocktail
My recent preference for savory, booze-forward cocktails, such as the Manhattan.
