Gumbo is definitely unique to the region. Most other places just make beef stew, chop up sausages and call it gumbo. I don’t even eat it unless there is a lady cooking it up with fatty upper arms
Philadelphians open authentic Philly cheesesteak spots in NYC. I know of three of them. Two of them filled with Philly sports gear when they go inside
I’m from Mobile.
North American cajun history doesn’t really start until after the French and Indian war when French Canadians were kicked out of Canada and came down here. (Which is why Cajun and the Arcadian people have a similar name )
Mobile was established in 1702 and served as an administrative hub. If it was first recorded in Mobile doesn’t mean it originated there, it was just recorded there.
Gumbo originated around the 1760s in Louisiana. People down in Mobile don’t even claim it like they do out there, and jambalaya and etoufee are good but not staples of our diet. Same with boudin.
We had the first Mardi Gras parades though that is true. Mobile is the port of entry for fire ants though
In Mobile we eat more of a traditional soul food diet with seafood mixed in.

Gumbo isn't acadian/cajun at all, it's (afro)creole. Boudin most likely is, but we weren't talking about that. Creole history starts in Mobile Alabama. First black gumbo recipe comes from Mobile.
Many historians do believe it comes from Alabama and not Louisiana. They have just as solid as a case as Louisiana does.
And mobile does have it's own variety of gumbo and roux.
