Houston couple’s internet-famous gumbo-stuffed tacos get a new restaurant location
Houston has no shortage of Cajun or Mexican restaurants, but as Yendi Thompson tells it, nobody thought to combine the two cuisines to create what she claims to be the first dish of its kind.A flour tortilla, grilled to a walnut brown on the outside, is filled with just enough roux to hold together chicken, sausage and cheese, among other ingredients. The gumbo oozes out with each bite and hits diners in the back of the throat with a hint of heat.
While Supreme Gumbo is a viral hit — some posts garner millions of views — it's also sparking debates around Thompson’s gumbo recipe and the novelty of combining a Cajun classic with another cuisine. The couple drove nearly two hours from Victoria to check out the new Heights-area outpost weeks after a visit to the Third Ward location, which had sold out of gumbo.
Yendi Thompson, 43, and Barry Thompson, 44, never worked in a restaurant before launching Supreme Gumbo.
