GUMBO is a award-winning documentary that explores the origins of one of the South’s most popular dishes and the people who love it!

You are invited to enjoy the film, followed by a serving of gumbo (Executive Chef Rhonda Russell), wine (Taste of Collection Cellars), and a panel discussion.

Each guest will leave with a swag bag filled with awesome gumbo related items!

*Portion of the proceeds will go toward Black Ex-Students of Texas Scholarship Program benefitting a graduating African American high school senior entering The University of Texas at Austin.

As the late Mrs. Leah Chase says in my film "gumbo should always be served with a glass of wine".

*Must be 21 years of age to attend

Film Synopsis:

Filmmaker Alyssa Rachelle grew up eating gumbo (with shrimp, sausage, crab and no okra). It’s the love for this most debated southern dish that led her to explore the details of gumbo including the basic components, its historical and cultural implications and the various types of gumbo.

This film includes gumbo enthusiasts who share their preparation often influenced by family recipes passed down from generation to generation. Historians are interviewed to provide insight on the geographical impact and the early beginnings of gumbo.
