Darrow's New Orleans Grill

Darrow’s does a lot of things really well—including fried catfish, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and po’ boys. But they make a really damn good bowl of gumbo. The star of that bowl is the meat, from the imported Louisiana Blue Crab to the chicken sausage and andouille, each piece is impeccably seasoned and complements the thick, gravy-like roux perfectly. Make sure to get the filé gumbo ya ya—unlike the regular filé gumbo, this one comes with a mountain of jambalaya and French bread.
