Morrow’s gumbo ramen, a Marigny bowl that folds Creole seafood and andouille into a ramen broth, has landed on Food Network’s Top 10: Noodles and given the St. Claude Avenue spot a fresh shot of national attention. The pick placed the dish seventh in the program's countdown that aired June 22, 2026, handing a rare television spotlight to the Faubourg Marigny restaurant. Locals and fans say the nod could mean busier nights for an already popular neighborhood table.
Food Network gives the bowl a national stage
The episode is part of Food Network's new Top 10 series, which counts down America’s most memorable takes on a single dish, and the Noodles installment named Morrow’s at No. 7. According to WGNO, judges highlighted the bowl’s Creole-meets-Asian composition. TV listings and episode guides also show the Noodles installment aired June 22; see TVmaze.
What’s in the bowl
Morrow’s menu lists Gumbo Ramen as a chef special, described as “ramen noodles kicked up New Orleans style” with sausage, crabs, mussels, chicken and shrimp, language taken from the restaurant’s online menu. The Marigny restaurant was founded in 2018 by chef Lenora Chong and Larry Morrow, and the owners say the menu deliberately blends Chong’s Korean background with classic Creole flavors.

Local reaction and context
Local reviewers have long flagged the gumbo ramen as a must-try; The Infatuation described it as “glorious” and highlighted the bowl’s andouille and shrimp. The Food Network placement slots into a broader trend of New Orleans chefs riffing on cross-cultural dishes, and the national nod could draw more out-of-town diners to St. Claude Avenue.
Morrow’s is at 2438 St. Claude Ave; hours and reservations are listed on the restaurant’s website, so diners hoping to try the gumbo ramen should check availability before they go. Visit Morrow’s for reservations and menu updates.
