More than 20,000 people are expected to pack into New Iberia this weekend as 76 teams compete to be the 30th annual Gumbo World Championship Cookoff winner.
Greater Iberia Chamber CEO Janet Faulk-Gonzales says the gumbo is being cooked up for anyone that attends, and you’ll have a chance to fill up at all of the different team’s booths.
There’s no entry fee, and samples start at four bucks for non-seafood varieties, and five bucks for a seafood gumbo.
Gumbo servings on Sunday start at 11 AM, and Faulk-Gonzales says you’ll have an opportunity to try every style imaginable cooked by teams coming in from across the country.
The festival starts on Saturday where 52 of the teams will cook “Anything but gumbo” dishes for the public.
Faulk-Gonzales says after three decades they’ve started narrowing down just what makes the perfect gumbo, and perhaps surprisingly past champions have not included one old-school ingredient.
And she says they don’t favor tomatoes either.
