TASTEBUDZ CREOLE KITCHEN · Gilbert
A seafood and okra gumbo built thick with Gulf flavor, plus gator po'boys and a muffuletta on the side menu. Weekend brunch beignets have become as much of a draw as the gumbo itself at the family-run kitchen in Gilbert.
Welcome Diner · Garfield
A gumbo built with Schreiner's andouille and house-smoked chicken, given a Southwest turn with nopales and a dark roux. It is a small diner-format spot on Pierce Street that treats the gumbo as a from-scratch project rather than an afterthought.
