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
We all need a Bruce in our family !
Everytime I watch Bruce, I feel like I'm just sitting with an uncle or something listening to him talk.
Bruce needs his own show I would watch this guy all day long
He’s no stalekracker
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.
culinary student here. this guy knows what hes on about with that wet rag under the cutting board and roux. kickass guy
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 🥣 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
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 🙏🏽
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.
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
That is the most beautiful roux I seen in my entire Louisiana life.
I live about 5 minutes away from Bruce. Dude is a genuine fella and the real deal. See him making groceries often lol
Bruce is my favorite Blackstoner!
Who’s with me?! 🙌
Snoop dog is my favorite blackstoner.
@@psideresider8308 *rimshot*
Hungry Hussy is the best
An jerry is my favorite musician
@@psideresider8308 can’t argue with that ma boi
Met Bruce a few years ago. He and his wife were such kind genuine people.
@@dannydef14ateate
Not always, no.
This man is a sight for sore eyes.
Takes me back to the early seasons of Swamp People, over 10 years ago when I was 18. I recall a lovely young lady I was seeing, drove over from the next state. I was watching the show, and she turned off the TV. I was confused and turned it back on. 😂
Lol Thinking back, I should've paid more attention to her in that moment that night.. I miss her.
Dude I swear that it was swamp people the guy with overalls and a American flag bandana
@@adriangonzalez8240 It is him. Lol
@@Gutslinger I knew it was him but i've never seen him in a t-shirt before lol
Must be winter lol
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.
I concur! I was mesmerized!!
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
@@baptizednblood6813 Good taste in music you got there.
One of the best people Bruce is good at what he does.
Give this man a show!
I'm not into cooking but for some reason I can't stop watching this dude
if a man gets this round of off his own cooking, he knows what real good food is.
I always liked this guy on Swamp People. . He was out there alone pulling them huge gators out of the water. . Bad ass man. .
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 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!!
i have never seen someone make a roux like that, one of the best looking roux's ive ever seen lol
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’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
I can watch this guy all day !!
Enjoy these videos especially with Bruce. He was my favorite on swamp people
Mom made gumbo for 65 years. (She could cook anything) Having polio, she missed a lot of school and learned at home, then she cooked at a restaurant in Houma. You couldn`t pass in front of her house looking hungry ;- )
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 could watch bruce all day long and listen to his stories.
absolute unit with that flat top method of roux. magnifique. more vids of bruce please!
Bruce, you are the Bob Ross of Southern/Cajun cooking. Love ya man!
Happy little shrimps!
If Bruce had a restaurant, I would drive from Florida to eat there...
Bruce i could watch you cook and talk all day brother!! i Just found your You tube channel omg love it !!!
Woooo...New Jersey yankee who's been to Louisiana a buncha times. Thank you, that was something special!
Bruce is not a stingy man. He gives out good vibes no matter what he does.
I love the "ON THE BAYOU" graphics Bruce!!! Genius!!!
Hi man, Bruce, I'm a Swiss guy, far a way from the Missisippi, but intuitively I make Gumpo the same, without that anybody told my so. Thanks a lot for this episode.
Oh my gosh!! You make my heart happy and belly too!! Wonderful to watch!! 🥰
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.
Bruce, you are such a genuine and amazing human being. Love from Sweden.
Love your cooking videos. Watch all of the swamp people shoes on TV. You guys rock
Hi Bruce! I love to watch you and your fishing partner Ron. I watch Swamp People every Monday and I absolutely love you guys❤
Love seeing Bruce cook on the Blackstone!
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.
I making that and I'm going to eat at 8 o'clock in the morning for breakfast that looks absolutely delicious and it's healthy for you you are the man..
My mouth is watering imagining how good that gumbo was.
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.
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!!!
I agree he needs his own show. Bruce miss you on swamp people hope you come back!
This and the Jambalaya video is driving me crazy! I know what I'm doing this weekend. Thank You Bruce!
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 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Hhinfo
Hey Mexico greetings from Canada, hope yall are staying safe out there! 🇨🇦
@@kevinpickford8714 greetings to Canadian brothers and sisters. All the best.
Never seen anybody make a rue on a flat top let alone start out with dry flour first. Awesome
and people wonder why southern food taste so good. no measuring of spices just what he feels is right. love the food.
Oh my goodness!!! You left my mouth watering for this dish!!!
Love that southern cooking. Great job. Looks delicious.
Love this!! I actually got a Blackstone because of your channel. Its the best!!!
I brown all my meats and saute' my veggies for my gumbo!!! Great video Bruce!!
Ok, I made this tonight. Easiest roux I have ever made, and the entire gumbo was delicious. Thanks!
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
This man has a good heart. I feel it
What a brilliant way to make a roux! The idea of cooking all the ingredients separately and then bringing them all together is so smart.
The production on your videos is great. It's like an actual cable TV show.
First time watching and this guy is a natural. Could definitely see him on a network cooking show.
Something relaxing about this man cooking and speaking. Thank you for the video and can't wait to make it!
Because of Mr Bruce I learned to make biscuits and gravy with a deer thigh it was good 👍👍👍👍🤤
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.
It's like backwater hibachi! Looks delicious!
OMG, watching this genious chef from the UK 🇬🇧, that's how to do it !
I dont think i ever seen a roux made like this. Very nice! I will definitely be tryin this one here later.
That is the most beautiful roux I have ever seen in a cooking demonstration. Absolutely genius!
Never seen it done this way. Usually stir it for 30 minutes 🤣
Thank you for bringing your food traditions to the rest of us.
I've been watching a lot of these southern Cajun cooking videos I wanna try it all it looks good as hell
Bruce,I have to tell you, I have watched you, Gator hunt, for years on TV. But this was extremely pleasant to see. I watch cooking shows all the time. If you had one ,I would watch it! Good job buddy!
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.
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 .
Now that is one damn fine looking gumbo.
Never seen it done on a flat top griddle but I'm fixing to try.
I lived in NOLA eight years. Gumbo is one of my favorite dishes. It's good to know about the roux you made Bruce. I will try out the way you make it. That looks very delicious 😋. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.
first time watching. only 3 minutes in. this guy is the Bob Ross of cooking. that's the feel I got
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.
LIVE WATCHING FROM 🇰🇪🇰🇪 KENYA 🇰🇪🇰🇪🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm making Gumbo the next time I get crabs. Will definitely try this method of toasting the flour dry.
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!!
Never seen that before this guy is on a whole other level!!!
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.
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.
Love the Cajun recipes and the stories you shared with us also. I would like to see more videos and cooks like this. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming!
Nate this is probably the best you’ve done! It is awesome. It is personable. It tells a story. And there’s great food too. Love the direction you’re taking the channel and all the hard work that goes into these TV-quality productions. Makes our little Griddle Me This segments look like home movies! Great job!!!!
Absolute favorite meal ever.
You know this is gonna be good when a Southerner cooks.
Great recipe, I never knew much about gumbo, only that it was delicious. Thanks from Australia.
Bruce, you are great on here. I wish swamp people show would show stuff like this instead of just alligator hunting all the time.
They got clear out a few so they don't take over the bayou
wasn't expecting much, but then I saw flat-top roux. I've made roux a million times, until now I thought baked roux was the pinnacle of roux-technology. Bruce out there moving the chains! and I want every viewer to understand how next level that is.
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.
I don’t know how I came across your channel but I am thrilled that I did. I literally could watch you cook all day! You are an amazing chef! Omg food looks so yummy 😋
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
Slide like in like we know what we're doing.. freaking priceless
If Mr. Bruce Mitchell would ever have me vist him sometime, I would sure love to cook with him. That would be so amazing. I love his passion for cooking and the stories of how his elder family members have influenced him during his life.
Its absolutely true, no 2 families cook gumbo the same way. I have to say, I love the big flat iron cooking surface! And the gumbo looks as good as my Ma' ma' did.
Just to add my experiences;
The dry roux method is by far the best way for any beginner cajun cook. Its so much easier to control the color. Even though you still have to keep stirring the flour so it doesnt burn, adding the oil in the end of the process controls how much oil is actually needed and more importantly the less likely you will burn the roux.
The traditional way of making roux is usually a 1 to 1 (1 cup flour to 1 cup oil, which is far too much oil IMHO.) The other challenge of mixing the flour and the oil at the same time can be hard to control depending on the oil used and how hot you cook the roux. When the man says you cannot walk away from the roux, this is doubly true when you use this method. Controlling the temperature of the oil can be tricky and so you have to constantly keep stirring for 20-60 min depending how hot the pot or surface along with the oil is. IF you do use this method, make sure you use oil that has a high smoking point such as vegetable oil rather then butter. While you could use butter, just know it will take you forever to get the roux to a chocolate color but in the end you will most likely end up burning the roux. If you burn the roux, you might as well throw it out and start over again.
Butter is great for a blond roux, mainly for dishes like etouffee based dishes.
Hope this helps some of the beginners out there.
thank you sir, very helpful
@@nomorenames5568 anytime... I will be more than happy to help as much as I can.. (IE, I dont know everything there is to know about life but I will freely give what I know) all you need to do is ask.
