The World's Largest Pot of Gumbo!

Prior to kickoff on Saturday, November 5th, former Crimson Tide player Bob Baumhower, alongside renowned chefs from both Alabama and Louisiana, created the world’s largest pot of gumbo to raise money for charities helping with tornado relief.

The event, called the “LouisiBama Gumbo Bowl,” took place between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. outside of the Ferguson Student Center. Attendees received a cup of seafood gumbo after it had been post-certified by Guinness World Records to ensure the world record was reached.

All funds raised will benefit the Nick’s Kids Fund, a nonprofit charity started by head coach Nick Saban and his wife Terry to promote and support children, family, teacher and student causes and Caring Days, a day program for adults with memory disorders.

The gumbo recipe called for 750 pounds of shrimp, 450 pounds of catfish fillets, 100 pounds of claw crabmeat, 50 pounds of white crabmeat, 200 pounds of alligator meat, 25 pounds of Louisiana crawfish tail meat, 10 gallons of oysters with liquid, 200 pounds of diced onions, 75 pounds of diced celery, 100 pounds of diced green bell peppers, 150 pounds of sliced okra, 50 pounds of dehydrated garlic and 20 pounds of butter.

YUMMY.
