I worked for tidewater and a man told me he would put a whole sack of flour in a cake pan and bake it in the oven till it got as dark as he liked it then store it in a Mason jar till he was ready to use it.
you should make a video also, I am trying to learn how too. I can't seem to find a restaurant that would make authentic gumbo here in Corpus Christi, Tx
@@ronnierocha9894 I use the skillet method on top of the stove, oil and flour, and here's a little secret, the darker the roux the better the flavor and the more roux you use will make it thicker you have to find just the right spot lol.
Lived in the south too, OMG never seen anyone do that to flour!!! Amazing, too cool. Never look at the griddle the same again! And I totally miss the south, live in Colorado now. Need to go back to living on the water again.
i always loved the idea of gumbo. “its everything” as a low income kid, growing up those were the best dishes, anything my mom could throw together just to fill out stomachs 🙏🏽
I obviously grew up in the wrong state(SC)😁 bc I would be the bestest cook had I grew up in Louisiana with great chefs like Mr.Bruce❤❤Thanks for sharing!! I was ready for my bowl 🥣 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Wow...have lived in Louisiana 50 years. Spent 30 of those cooking in many styles of restaurants. Have cooked gumbo countless times. But that roux cook was one of the coolest thing I've seen in my time.
For real. I was like, it never looks like that when I make roux and I like to make a dark roux too. I’ve never added oil like that, I’ll have to try that, plus I only have a deep pan I cook it in, not a griddle
I guarantee you just bc you went to culinary school kid your ass don’t know shit about a real gumbo this isn’t that rice and gravey stew bs from up north in Tennessee and New York 😂
The best cooking yt channels are like these. Good genuine people who just like to make food, enjoy it, and what others to try and make it themselves. Respect.
Yeah, that's super handy and fast for a big pot of stew for sure. Compared to my usual pot+wok pan on stove there's just no competition. And that flat top also yields a more even browning on all the ingredients. I wish I had one, could just cook a huge pot of stew on sundays and eat it all week with sandwiches on the side.
I’ve made this several times on my Blackstone, it has come out perfect every time. I’ve had people change their plans at the last minute and drive 50 miles when they heard I was making this recipe, with a few personal touches of mine. Highly recommend this dish on a Blackstone
@rivabenzikri77 Yeah, usually you just add oil and let to heat up, then add your flour and constantly stir until it becomes the color you want it. This is what the call a dry roux, which has a different taste and I believe thickens it more since it's more flour than oil instead of the 1:1 ratio of a normal roux.
Im a Mitchell too, but not from Louisiana. I’ve always enjoyed Cajun food, especially gumbo. Man but yours looks good… lol, i could smell it while i was watching you fix it.
I stopped watching the alligator show along time ago but it's great to see Bruce doing well. I live in Baltimore so we don't have a lot of gumbo around here. Bruce's looked great. Thanks for sharing.
I’m from South Mississippi and we know a little something bout gumbo over here. Thankful for our neighbors Cajun food. It’s among the best in the world.
Nice to watch you make another variation of Gumbo. The was some mighty dark roux. Back in the day, I cooked with Chef Paul Prudhomme and man, he loved his roux. Cajun Magic. Let's get cooking.
Great Gumbo video... I'm a fan from your show Swamp People. This was my first viewing, so I have some catching up to do. I hope to see cook some gator. I really miss you and the other guiys hunting gator on tv. Look forward to see the rest of your cooks.😊
I've made gumbo a million times and have never seen the roux started with dry flour not to mention being self-rising. I now have to reevaluate my process.
You need your own cooking show. I miss my dad cooking his gumbo and Bruce you just brought back memories of when we go to Biloxi Ms. Born in the Mississippi Delta and we ate alot of Gumbo. Ever time we go to the coast we stay at some campground and dad would fix his version of gumbo. We catch our crabs , he buy chicken and sausage at the store . We then , as he know where to go catch the Shrimpers and buy shrimp from them right off the boat . He have all the ingredients and make the best gumbo I ever ate. I sure like to try yours. I know my dad would've loved a Blackstone grill.
I am a Florida boy from Wewahitchka fla I love the river , but I couldn't make a descent living there so went to Venice la . Hopped on a crew boat going to south pass 60 and went to work as an roustabout on an Arco rig. Got on with the company in a couple of years , and ended up retiring with them. I met some of best people you ever won't to meet. I guess that's why I enjoy your stories so much. Hope you keep on telling them. , And may God bless.
To be honest let's just admit how fucking cool this guy is. He reminds me of my grandpa who passed away 7 years ago. I'm 35 Now and have a family. I like in a remote area of Tennessee but my children are 11 years old. I've been through my whole life with my grandpa, he reminds me of him. Even at 83 years of age he never stopped living life. This guys reminds me of him so much.
Love this man!!! Bruce from the Bayou!!! He's a great cook and often featured him cooking on Swamp People!!! A true Southener with a real love for Southern cooking!!! Would love to try his Gumbo!!!
Bruce, I’ve been looking all over the country food Boot Camp 10 hamburgers and I don’t know what to look for. I really like to learn how to cook it. It looks delicious from your videos. This is Tim Everhart from Tennessee.
Bruce, you got me addicted! It’s 10:30 at night and I just got back from fishing. I just ate the last of my salmon cakes you showed me how to make the other day now I’m watching you make this gumbo and going to make it soon on my Blackstone.
I was in the Army with a few guys from the Bayou and they all cooked such awesome food. Gumbo and crayfish boils were my favorites. You can order gumbo in a restaurant, but unless it's real Bayou based, it'll just never measure up. My wife and I love your videos and your cooking is so awesome. We've learned some of your secrets, but we'll never measure up. Thank you, for insight and food!!
My appreciation and respect for the roux has increase exponentially. Hello, griddle (yes, you flat, rectangular, purveyor of flavor, you....) and hello roux making. It's gonna be epic. This Hoosier boy has had an epiphany. Thanks, Bruce.
This was the first time to see one of Bruce's video and really enjoyed it. He is so easy going with the way he talks and appears on the video. He is not getting excited, or slinging his hands when he is talking. So many on these cooking video are putting on a show for you as they are cooking but there is no need for all that. Just make it simple to watch and hear, I really enjoyed this one and plan to see a lot more. Thanks your videos are great .
I love your cooking. Yummy. Wish I could taste them. Hi from the Caribbean Island of Trinidad.Thanks for sharing your cooking secrets. I love to cook as well.

Bruce needs his own cooking show. I'd watch the hell outta it.
Darn right! I’m down for his own show!
I thought this was
@@tnsmokeboyz4622 me too. kinda disappointed but now im putting a flat top on top of my grill and making gumbo like this for ever.
I think that's what this is.😎
He has his own RUclips already
That is the most beautiful roux I seen in my entire Louisiana life.
Way to fcking much for that little pot though 😂 shit going be thicker than molasses 😂
Everytime I watch Bruce, I feel like I'm just sitting with an uncle or something listening to him talk.
I live about 5 minutes away from Bruce. Dude is a genuine fella and the real deal. See him making groceries often lol
I know you're from his neck of the woods simply from you saying "making groceries".
I make groceries too 😅
I’ve lived in south Louisiana and cooked gumbo my whole life and never seen a roux done like that. Absolutely awesome. I’m trying this roux this week!
I worked for tidewater and a man told me he would put a whole sack of flour in a cake pan and bake it in the oven till it got as dark as he liked it then store it in a Mason jar till he was ready to use it.
you should make a video also, I am trying to learn how too. I can't seem to find a restaurant that would make authentic gumbo here in Corpus Christi, Tx
I cook mine in a frying pan in the oven
@@ronnierocha9894 I use the skillet method on top of the stove, oil and flour, and here's a little secret, the darker the roux the better the flavor and the more roux you use will make it thicker you have to find just the right spot lol.
That’s how they do it in restaurants. Gotta be careful in the oven. Flour can self-immolate. Definitely better to do that outside.
OMG, watching this genious chef from the UK 🇬🇧, that's how to do it !
This guy brings a certain humility and authenticity to cooking. A seriously fantastic cook!
Cuisine like my old farming grand ma and grandpa
They cook anything God allows them to have
Agree,I would watch his cooking again and again.
Bruce needs his own show I would watch this guy all day long
He’s no stalekracker
Bruce is my favorite Blackstoner!
Who’s with me?! 🙌
Snoop dog is my favorite blackstoner.
@@psideresider8308 *rimshot*
Hungry Hussy is the best

@@psideresider8308 can’t argue with that ma boi
Lived in the south too, OMG never seen anyone do that to flour!!! Amazing, too cool. Never look at the griddle the same again! And I totally miss the south, live in Colorado now. Need to go back to living on the water again.
i always loved the idea of gumbo. “its everything” as a low income kid, growing up those were the best dishes, anything my mom could throw together just to fill out stomachs 🙏🏽
So a gumbo is low income food man gtf 😂 you’re weird af just for saying that dumbass bs 😂
Never seen anybody make a rue on a flat top let alone start out with dry flour first. Awesome
I obviously grew up in the wrong state(SC)😁 bc I would be the bestest cook had I grew up in Louisiana with great chefs like Mr.Bruce❤❤Thanks for sharing!! I was ready for my bowl 🥣 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Met Bruce a few years ago. He and his wife were such kind genuine people.
@@dannydef14ateate
Not always, no.
Bruce is not a stingy man. He gives out good vibes no matter what he does.
Gumbo is truly a gift to humanity from heaven. Period.
I'm not from Louisiana and i love gumbo it good stuff
Nah mate - people made it, so props to people …
IKR!
I'm not into cooking but for some reason I can't stop watching this dude
Bruce, you are the Bob Ross of Southern/Cajun cooking. Love ya man!
Happy little shrimps!
Bruce is my favorite swamp person.
culinary student here. this guy knows what hes on about with that wet rag under the cutting board and roux. kickass guy
I guarantee you just bc you went to culinary school kid your ass don’t know shit about a real gumbo this isn’t that rice and gravey stew bs from up north in Tennessee and New York 😂
i have never seen someone make a roux like that, one of the best looking roux's ive ever seen lol
The best cooking yt channels are like these. Good genuine people who just like to make food, enjoy it, and what others to try and make it themselves. Respect.
Amen 🙏🏼 I feel the same way
I’ve been making roux for a good 20 out of the 37 years of my life, and I’ve never seen a roux made this way. This is genius! I will be trying soon.
Yeah, that's super handy and fast for a big pot of stew for sure.

Slide like in like we know what we're doing.. freaking priceless
This guy is super chill and that looks like a damn good meal too
Señor Bruce - looks amazingly delicious. Great idea of using the griddle with the prep. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽
Yes. Where can I'm gonna' get a full grill griddle to fit my son-in'laws smaller size BBQ grill if I can. Hes loving cooking on it.
Im in Durango Colorado right now 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Hey Mexico greetings from Canada, hope yall are staying safe out there! 🇨🇦
@@kevinpickford8714 greetings to Canadian brothers and sisters. All the best.
Super fun to watch and listen to Bruce!

I like the little tidbits history and stories he provides when he is cooking
Scrubbing up the goop with water and adding it to the pot, now there's a man after my own heart 😁
I could watch bruce all day long and listen to his stories.
Give this man a show!
This is the first time this 72 year old lady has seen rue made that way. Thank you ❤
Let us know if you give it a try!
Must live way tf up north in a blue state then 😂
@@BlackstoneGriddles I will
@@DavidBourque-qu5rp I’m from and live in Texas all of my life. Red state
That's freakin amazing,I've been making Roux most of my life in a Professional Kitchen and never even thought this could happen!
Very smart Bruce🙌.
Just don't use self rising flour
Are you really going to tell me that is just browned flour and oil
@rivabenzikri77 yeah!! It's important for a good gumbo
@rivabenzikri77 Yeah, usually you just add oil and let to heat up, then add your flour and constantly stir until it becomes the color you want it. This is what the call a dry roux, which has a different taste and I believe thickens it more since it's more flour than oil instead of the 1:1 ratio of a normal roux.
He got good intentions but I wouldn't eat that bucket of slop..have fun with that.
Its not everyday I learn something new about cooking, i've never seen the charred flour oil trick before.
Thank the lord for blessing us with Bruce. I'm going to cooking this this week for my family brother. Thanks again from Australia. God bless you.
I've never seen a roux like that in my life. This man's a wizard
This man has a good heart. I feel it
Im a Mitchell too, but not from Louisiana. I’ve always enjoyed Cajun food, especially gumbo. Man but yours looks good… lol, i could smell it while i was watching you fix it.
It's like backwater hibachi! Looks delicious!
Made my roux like that today on my Blackstone Bruce and I'll never make it in a pot or pan again. Thanks for this video!
I stopped watching the alligator show along time ago but it's great to see Bruce doing well. I live in Baltimore so we don't have a lot of gumbo around here. Bruce's looked great. Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea to brown the flour on the grill before start your gumbo.
If Bruce had a restaurant, I would drive from Florida to eat there...
I’m from South Mississippi and we know a little something bout gumbo over here. Thankful for our neighbors Cajun food. It’s among the best in the world.
Bob Ross of cooking "Now all we have to do is hurry up and wait".
Simple and amazing just like the video
Bruce's relationship with Tyler told me he was an amazing man years ago!!
Nice to watch you make another variation of Gumbo.
The was some mighty dark roux. Back in the day, I cooked with Chef Paul Prudhomme
and man, he loved his roux. Cajun Magic. Let's get cooking.
Chef Paul was the Man!!
I bought a 22" blackstone griddle because of you haven't fired it up yet but soon thank you so much love your show
Because of Mr Bruce I learned to make biscuits and gravy with a deer thigh it was good 👍👍👍👍🤤
Great Gumbo video... I'm a fan from your show Swamp People. This was my first viewing, so I have some catching up to do. I hope to see cook some gator. I really miss you and the other guiys hunting gator on tv. Look forward to see the rest of your cooks.😊
The technique of browning /toasting the flour first is a new one for me, definitely trying it next time. Thanks for the recipe.
can do the same thing in the oven turn the flour every hour.
@@chad77657 oven would take a lot longer to brown the flour. If you don't have a Blackstone you can use the biggest pan you have
@@bigboat8329 if you making it by big huge batches in the oven its worth it.
Really new to you? Never heard of a dry roux?
@@chad77657 yeah huge batches to store for later would make sense
I can watch this guy all day !!
One of the best people Bruce is good at what he does.
He's brilliant! Can't wait to practice that roux.... 👍🏼
Momma lived in Louisiana for 30 years rip . always made Gumbo Mmmmmm still Love it .Love watching you make Fixings. God Bless you Brother 🕊️🙏🕊️

I'm making Gumbo the next time I get crabs. Will definitely try this method of toasting the flour dry.
Bruce i could watch you cook and talk all day brother!! i Just found your You tube channel omg love it !!!
Oh my goodness!!! You left my mouth watering for this dish!!!
Enjoy these videos especially with Bruce. He was my favorite on swamp people
That gumbo looks so good I could smell it through my phone
My mouth is watering imagining how good that gumbo was.
Ok, I made this tonight. Easiest roux I have ever made, and the entire gumbo was delicious. Thanks!
Saw this dude yesterday had his own gumbo there and I was lucky enough to get some. It was delicious.

You made me re-live some of the best times in my life down on the bayous of Louisiana in Thibodaux , Morgan city and Vacherie
I dont think i ever seen a roux made like this. Very nice! I will definitely be tryin this one here later.
Thank you for bringing your food traditions to the rest of us.
His voice is so soothing!!
