Our Story

From Acadiana With Love

After the devastating flood of 2016 in Baton Rouge, Troy and Kyndra packed up what was left, took a $1,200 FEMA check, and moved to Alton, Illinois to rebuild their lives.

In 2018, they started serving gumbo from their home kitchen and called it Gumbo 2 Geaux. With the support of an investor who believed in their dream, they opened their brick-and-mortar restaurant in October 2022.

Today, Kyndra, Chef Troy, Theodore, and William are proud to share the food they grew up on with their Midwest gumbo-loving community. Every dish is made fresh to order using authentic Acadian recipes, real ingredients, and SEAUX much love.
