Yea I can get ahold of some mix and make it myself, it's actually not that bad. Nothing like some chicken and sausage gumbo. Of course I had to ask my Mother for some help when making it myself for the first time

Entergy fed us some after Isaac from a local Kenner restaurant, their roux was very dark and strong which I liked. I'm guessing they made file gumbo? Have you ever tried file seasoning? It did feel darker and thicker than normal roux.
