Have to agree with Clayton. I may be the only guy in SoCal making gumbo and étouffée. I make it mighty fine, but there's an indefinable quality lacking... could be the air, could be the water, though Jerry's in P'cola must import one or the other, 'cause he gets it right. Made the mistake of ordering étouffée at a "cajun" place out here. Wow. What a miss.
