When he says “lemme tell ya now” you better listen

I love how the pot is filled to the brim everytime! Shows you’ve done these recipes hundreds of times before!!

For those that don't know. "rag-gedy pot means southern skillet"

You don’t mess around brother. Looks damn good

I don’t know how you do what you do but I’m grateful you do it 😋😋😋😋

Made this recipe for about 20 guests at a party and it was a smash hit! I lived in New Orleans as a child and have 2 homes there, this by far is an amazing true NOLA style home gumbo! Great job bro!

Damn! I follow your recipes and try one once a week on saturdays for my wife. I wanted gumbo this week because of the weather in Maryland right now and I couldn’t find anything about a gumbo from you so I found a recipe online. You made gumbo!! I have to try this. Keep it up bro I love your food!

Those pots aren't worn....they are well loved with a history of goodness.

This was the best explanation of making a roux…I can’t wait to make this!

Out of everybody online I’ve seen , TikTok, KZfaq, this gentleman to me , makes the most appetizing food.

The whole presentation was real. And that pot being filled with real goodness only makes me want to go get some or make some. I watch you and in two hours I got some. Love how you made that rue.

RTB liking comments in real time son! He appreciates us as much as we appreciate him!

"Oh no... Spoon went down!" 😂😂😂

So glad I found this dude on KZfaq.

"Act like it didn't happen " is my middle name 😂

I love looking at your channel I love looking at your cooking I am a black female in Florida I have cooked so many things that you have cooked I know who whoever you cooking for I know they are very proud of you and I look at yours because I know that you guys got to know how to do it because you guys are up there with all the seafood is thank you so much God bless you for teaching me a couple of things cuz I really thought that I know how to cook a lot of things but I see you always can learn from someone else thank you so much may God bless you

Now that’s what I call “right on time.” MS boy here, but living in WI. Put that in a sealed container and ship up here to WI. Hit the spot with this below zero weather up here.

Ralph, I broke my iPhone screen trying to eat this gumbo

Me and my family enjoy your recipes, thanks for sharing your traditions

Man thank you for making these videos. They help so many of us to make authentic Cajun recipes. Don't worry about your raggedy pot, we all know that a raggedy pot is a blessed pot cause it's been used so many times to make food with love for people. If you didn't have at least one raggedy pot, then I would worry. 👍

YOU sir are so authentic and there's literally nothing to fault. Amazing!

I see you got that Cajun pot lol it looks good and where’s the potato salad Ralph😂😂

That’s more than 4 ingredients. Hmmm let see if a comment comes back on here. That ain’t no crock pot either that’s a magnalite! Only real cooks know what to do with that! Looking good ralph. I’m thinking I’m a make one tomorrow 🙌🏻

I never made Gumbo before I love the step by step you give me thank you I'm going to make it for my Aunt birthday party

Absolutely awesome. Great explanation, great humor (the spoon), and great video. Loved it.

Ralph is the man. Such a straight forward and genuine guy.

My mom (RIH) had a huge Dutch oven like that. She bought it from Macy's years ago. Unfortunately, I lost it in a storage spot a few years ago. When I saw that pot it brought back so many memories. She used to cook collard greens, souse, stews and soups in hers. My sister in law borrowed it a few times and made gumbo in it. Thanks for the memories. That looked delicious!!! 👌🏾

Started to watch some of your older videos and this is now one of my favorites. You gave good advice on how to cook the gumbo and you also made me crack up. 10/10

What a charming young gentleman! Definitely a master at gumbo. Daddy must be proud! Thanks for the recipe. It's a five star recipe for sure! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

WOW, the steps on making gumbo!! Looks delicious

That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing all of your cooking knowledge I love watching and learning.

Everything he makes is rely good now this gumbo will be good in this below 0 temps. Thank you Mr Ralph!

Awesome, Clear, concise how to with an entertaining Cajun style.

Oh My Amazing !!! I always made a Roux w butter/margarine. Going to try your Roux That pan is seasoned, best to cook with ! Ty so Much Ralph. A Very Happy Valentine's Day to such a great couple ♥️ 💘

Justin Wilson is looking down on him with a big fat smile on his face!!! I'm making this for dinner next week.

Perfect and delicious food for cold days !! Hi Ralph and Sarah!!!!❤️

Boyyyyy. Nothing better than this. I like ur way. I do mine a little different. I don’t usually add sausage to my seafood gumbo. I usually add oysters too. I am lazy. So I usually do everything in one pot. Less to wash. I do add okra to mine. I usually have some on freezer bags that I roast. No slim. Just a little to that big pot. I had to chuckle cx my pots look just like this, to the tippy top. Some good stuff right there. Thank u for the tips. My favorite is how ur house smells when cooking this. Really I love the smell when cooking a roux. Reminds me so much of my grandmommas house. Miss her ev day. Had her for 9 short years. I 64 now. Still think of her ev day. She has been gone 55 yrs.

Your videos are ALWAYS GREAT FOOD, GREAT HOSPITALITY, GREAT TEACHING AND THE BEST OF ALL, THE BEST HEART, thank you sir for sharing all you do, we really enjoy ALL YOUR VIDEOS

Bro me and my sons watching everything you do you’re a great cook and you food is awesome do what you do we appreciate you so much god’s blessings to you and your family

That’s not raggedy, Ralph that’s flavor

This recipe is awesome!! Way to teach people how to make that roux!!

My mouth is watering 🤤🤤🤤. Definitely trying this!!

I truly appreciate your time in making your videos.... GBYAY!!!!

One of my all time Favorites!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

For some reason I'm in ❤️ with his voice !

Good looking!!

From a gumbo neophyte, this is the easiest gumbo recipe I've seen! Excellent video.

Awesome I can almost smell that gumbo ❤ it looked fantastic

Amazing recipe. A must try. All the way from New York to say thanks!!

What times dinner? I’ll bring the beer!😍😍

When I was younger I would think of visiting Louisiana, not to do the tourist thing, but to connect with the natives and appreciate the culture, food, music and off beaten path, taking in nature. I learned to play the harmonica, know how to cook and figured I'd fit right in, loving people of all color, race and ethnicity. Doesn't look like I'm going to make it, but I appreciate you sharing your recipes. As far as the food, the only thing missing is the smell and tastes. Thank you, brother, and God bless you and yours.

Looks so good! Saved the video will be watching again soon when I make it for dinner tomorrow night... thank you...

You know that mouth watering feeling you get right behind the jaws dude you killed it brother

Gumbo is by far my favorite cajun food, never had the confidence to try and make it myself

OMG!!!! That looks wonderful!

I enjoy watching you make all those southern dishes. I'm going to try and shrink to serve 1. Wish me luck

You my friend are the most human and real cook I’ve watched ever. Your videos are the very essence of preparing food for the Everyman that we all are. Keep it up. You bring joy to the world.

Just made the gumbo bro dam it’s good! It’s all in the roux

I can't wait to make this. I love the fact that you used paper plates for the chopped veggies... Less dishes to wash. Smart!! Ydm Ralph!! 🙏

Here here! Potato soup tomorrow!!!

You Made it look so easy and flawless!! T came out perfectly.. ya hear me now ❤😊

I’m trying half the recipe. Just the two adults and two little kids. I have it on the stove right now for the 45 minute cook down. I made it a bunch of times with my dad’s recipe but he put tomatoes in his. It was very good but I don’t like tomato in mine. Thanks brother. Been watching all you videos. I have a flat top grill now so your recipes will come in handy.

I must try recipe for my holiday list! Terrific

Watching and listening to your videos,Ralph is just like being in the French Quarter..I love 'em...Thanks!

Hey Ralph, thanks again appreciate y'all, just looking at it. Our electric just came back from the ice in Virginia. Appreciate y'all

Greetings from New Zealand 👋🏼 Thank you for sharing. I've never tried authentic gumbo or southern food, it all looks so delicious, every recipe I've seen 🌟👌🏽 Gumbo, po boys, jambalaya, catfish & alligator is definitely on my bucketlist to try.

This channel saved my marriage... since I cook on the weekends! XD (saludos desde la Rep. Dominicana)

That looks amazing. Gumbo is one of my absolute favorite things to eat

Oh, DANG!!! Keep them coming Ralph! Be safe!!!

I’m from New Orleans living in TN and I miss this kind of cooking specially with this pregnancy craving

Dude you know how to cook that Gumbo look good as hell bro I have not had Gumbo in years and I like the way you cook you take your time.

I can just watch any video you make 😂 I love your voice and recipe.

I love the gumbo, but, haven't made it for a long time. Yours looks delicious. Have to make some soon.

Wow, that is beautiful gumbo ! BTW, I’m envious of that huge aluminum Dutch oven !

I cook mine almost exactly the same! (Louisiana here too) Ppl think I'm weird for putting chicken and/or sausage in my Gumbo with seafood...I'm like "Do you know how Gumbo even started?" It's using everything you had left over!!!!! Stop trying to be Gumbo snobs. If it's good, it's good! The END! Nice video man. Thank you!

My pops used to make his Gumbo similar to this, you got my mouth watering!

Man, that looks so freaking good!!

It looks so good and I know that it is delicious. I am going to make me a pot of seafood gumbo.keep up the good cooking and all of your good recipes.you have a blessed day.god bless you and your family.happy new year.

I am glad I found you, my wife is from New Orleans and the Gumbo and Boudin Dip has been a hit!!!!

Let's go!

Love all your recipes ❤😊

That has to be one of the best things that I’ve seen you make man

Really hope you get a million subs. I love your videos.

PERFECTION 😍❤️ THANK YOU!

Bravo! Another seafood gumbo without chicken. I like the addition of the lump crab meat ..

MUCH LOVE RALPH! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

Dude I just found you and have already tried some of your recipes on the flat top which I just got as well. I’m def gonna try this and the deep fried soft shell blue crabs. You da man!

Definitely representing us down here in New Orleans!!! I’m a westbank food fanatic and these videos are a true representation of what we do in Nola!!! You can tell my man makes a lot of roux from the look of that wooden spoon. Keep up the vids!! Much love Brotha!!!

Good gumbo always starts with a fine rue Ralph that looks amazing!!

Man, truly enjoy your video

You at my favorite channel! Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes!

My Granny always cooked to the rim! Take it to the max 🤣💜

TEA SPOON!! 😂 more like a half a cup. That’s called a scoatch! Love it

On the West Coast, this is the gumbo I always hope I'm going to get when I order or make it, but it never turns out as good. This looks absolutely killer.

looks great. i really like the whole crab and sausage

That gumbo looks amazingly delicious🤤

RTB, this dish alone has me crab-walking to the post office checking for that Cajun cookbook. Man alive!

I always stopped short of making a decent roux because I thought it was burning. Thanks for the clarification! Can’t wait to make a pot this afternoon!

Wow it looks so tasty!
