- Seafood gumbo, Anita’s Gumbo
As a rule, the language of restaurant press releases rarely rises above a Yelp-like standard of persuasiveness (which is also why many of the food blogs that depend on them are so difficult to read). But something about the unaddressed mass e-mail I received from “Kenya Renee, the media and marketing personality for Anita’s Gumbo” got through to me. Maybe it was the shamelessly impersonal flattery: “I would first like to say congrats on all your successes. I’ve viewed some of the sites that you write for and I’ve truly enjoy [sic] your thoughts on food.”
Like any committed specialist Anita’s offers only a few other items like jambalaya, fried wings and shrimp, shrimp and chicken po’boys, and a handful of daily specials. But the gumbo has all the personality this place needs.
