that jumped out at me. It wouldn't surprise me if this old fart was serious here

Robert Peyton:
Have you ever made a roux, or seen one made? Do you understand that the color in gumbo – the brown or in some cases dark brown – color comes from flour cooking in oil? Do you know of a way to achieve that color without
also producing the characteristic aroma and flavor of a roux?

Alan Richman:
This is absolutely not a commentary on the gumbo at Herbsaint, but it is a commentary on some New Orleans cooking, Yes, I do know an alternative way to achieve such a color. It’s called Kitchen Bouquet.
