FLINT, MI — A soup dish known for its distinct taste and ingredients is a hot seller even in the warmer months for the Gumbo Trap.
Gumbo Trap, established in 2017, serves gumbo with chicken and sausage, seafood gumbo with shrimp, chicken and sausage and an elevated seafood gumbo option with shrimp, chicken, sausage and crab legs.
The gumbo gets served over Jasmine rice and paired with sweet honey cornbread.
Princess Greene, owner of Gumbo Trap, prepares the meals at West Court Church of God, 2920 W. Court St., in Flint.
Customers can arrange to pick up their meals from her home. To place an order, visit here, or call 810-546-4760.
When Greene began her business four years ago, she noticed a congregation of customers outside her door and she jokingly referred to her business as a “trap” because of the attention it was getting.
“When I looked outside it was like a line of people,” Greene said. “We had a line of like six or seven cars waiting to get this gumbo and so I was like, oh we are trapping over here so I said, wait a minute, how about I call it the gumbo trap?”
The name has stuck ever since.
Greene said she believes the gumbo does well year-round because there aren’t that many options in the Flint area to get the soup associated with Louisiana.
Customers can order a cup of gumbo for $5, or large for $20.
In the summer, Greene also serves jambalaya, shrimp and catfish po’ boy sandwiches, cod bites, and garlic parmesan fries.
On Sundays, Greene makes a special dish called cornbread soul food platter. It consists of cornbread with roast and gravy packed in the middle and paired with macaroni and smoked gouda, mustard and turnips greens cooked with turkey. The soul food platter costs $15.
“I try to keep it a little light in the summer,” Greene said. “But still the seafood gumbo, that’s always going to be my number one seller.”
Greene is open for business from 1-6 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
