Why Van Lathan's Gumbo Prompted a Switch

Dave made a special gumbo recipe for a guest ... but got a different guest than he bargained for, and one he knows very well.

He and his new guest talk off the cuff about the differences between jambalaya and gumbo, discuss how New Orleans has the most distinct food culture of any U.S. city, and debate which city best represents the food of the South, all while acknowledging a lack of expertise.

They finish with a quick atlas of where to eat in New Orleans.
