Concept is to create an industry within an existing industry, specifically promoting GUMBO, as the State Historical Dish.

Benefits of the project are wide reaching and will create new business opportunities for many.

Benefactors will be, Farmers of Okra, Tomatoes, Onions, Rice and Grits, sausage producers, shrimp dealers and fishermen. Opportunity abounds for established and new restaurants.

The Gullah Trail should see increased interest as a specific dish is featured thereby by creating interest and a DESTINATION food for all tourists to experience.
