"The Best You've Ever Made!"

I love talking to my customers at The Crown - They always make me feel so good! A few days ago, someone finished lunch, then went shopping in the food shelves! She had three Creole File Gumbo mixes in her hand and shared this story with me!

She had been making Gumbo for her family for years and they loved it! And making Gumbo from scratch is a time consuming process - cutting vegetables - browning the roux just right - it takes a lot of time - but she enjoyed doing it for the family! Then during Christmas she took a "short cut" and made Gumbo using my mix! Her daughter told her, "That Gumbo was the best you've ever made!"

I was surpised that she wasn't terribly upset at her daughter's comment - she was thrilled! "Your mix is going to save me lots of time and we'll all still get to enjoy great Gumbo! Never stop making this mix!" And we won't - it's one of our best sellers at The Crown AND through our Taste of Gourmet Consultants!
