Ken Wheaton is a journalist and (soon-to-be) author. His first novel, The First Annual Grand Prairie Rabbit Festival, will be published by Kensington Books in December 2009.
Born and raised in Opelousas, Louisiana, he now lives in Brooklyn and thinks your idea of what gumbo is is probably completely wrong.

So can you get gumbo as you know it in Brooklyn? Or the city?

We’ll try your gumbo, and we’d love it if you’d try ours! We recently recorded an album for a trio called Gumbo up here in Oregon. These are some great guys who have been playing music for more than 40 years. It is an unusual risk to sign a band in their 50’s, but to me, they are worthy of the risk. Had I found your recipe before we released the album, I would have included it in the liner notes. I’ll let you know how your recipe worked out for us. Please let us know how you like our Gumbo, as well!
Kind Regards,
Kira
