I'm sure it is a fine shrimp soup, but it sure as shit ain't gumbo.

Look there's nothing wrong with a nice shellfish soup, but without the roux it's not gumbo.

it should probably be noted that Samuelsson isn't white - he's Ethiopian by birth, but was adopted by a Swedish family. (and as i know basically nothing about transracial adoption, to say any more than that would be to go *wildly* out of my lane)

The key to successfully putting potentially irreverent twists on dishes is identifying what makes the dish *that dish*. ...this ain't it. No roux, not a gumbo. This feels as nonsense as taking the online shitposting about fried chicken being a ravioli seriously.

Marcus Samuelsson is, by all indicators, an incredibly knowledgeable and good cook... but this isn't the first time his desire to put twists on traditional dishes has eliminated major components that absolutely *define the dish*.

I'm from *Iowa* and I know that gumbo requires a roux. Fun fact: The plural of "roux" is "roux".
