Introducing Lucy Buffett on the Power of Gumbo from Biscuits & Jam. Follow the show: Biscuits & Jam Lucy Buffett grew up as the kid sister of Jimmy Buffett in a working class neighborhood in Mobile, Alabama. A self-proclaimed gypsy rebel, she had plenty of misadventures that took her from Key West to Southern California to New Orleans and the Caribbean, but eventually she moved home to open up a gumbo and burger spot called Lulu’s when she was 46 years old. Now she’s got three locations in Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina, and a couple of cookbooks including Gumbo Love: Recipes for Gulf Coast Cooking, Entertaining, and Savoring the Good Life. Like her brother, Lucy is full of stories, including a few from family history that found their way into his songs. Sid talks to Lucy about how she discovered a love of cooking at a French restaurant in Key West, how her grandmother’s gumbo recipe led to a lot of what she’s doing now, and how she honored the first anniversary of her brother’s passing. She also shares her favorite Jimmy Buffett song and why Lulu’s has become a beloved destination for Parrot Heads.
