Join Armadillo Den at a Gumbo Cookoff on Sunday, November 17, benefiting Operation Turkey, a volunteer organization that delivers thousands of meals on Thanksgiving day to those in need.
Come by The Den for an afternoon filled with tasty gumbo, great drinks, and live music from Cajun Aces as 17 different local groups prepare their own delicious, unique spin on this authentic New Orleans dish to battle for first place. Guests wanting to participate in the tasting of the gumbo can donate their desired amount at the door to taste all the different gumbos and place their votes for their favorites.
Cooking begins on site at noon, and tasting / judging begins around 4:30 p.m. There will be awards by both designated judges and some People’s Choice awards for the public to participate in. Awards will be given out to the best gumbos before the Saints game is aired on site that evening.
