Having grown up in New Orleans at one time (3-4 years back) I had a high 
opinion of Pappadeaux's.    Of late (past 12- 6 months or so) upon returning 
to DFW I've been drastically disappointed in all of PD's fair.

Seems the bean counters got between the chefs and the food.  I called their 
corporate offices on the problem and basically all I received was a lecture 
on just how little I knew on what was truly New Orleans fair.

BTW the main problem with their gumbo is not necessarily the roux but that 
they cut it with liquid to stretch the budget.

If you want a true Gumbo I have a copy of my grand mother's recipe somewhere 
here about that I'll be happy to post.
