Line Cook

About Us: Filé Gumbo Barâ„¢ is inspired by the iconic ingredient used to thicken and flavor our gumbo. Filé, pronounced fee-lay, means thread or string in French, and refers to the dried and ground leaves of the North American sassafras tree. The centerpiece of our menu is Tiny's Gumboâ„¢, inspired by the owner's grandfather, Aubrey "Tiny" Gaines (who was anything but). Tiny had a larger-than-life presence, and believed there was nothing better than shellfish and spice. While Gumbo is our establishment's signature dish, dining at Filé is an educational feast of the culinary subtleties of Cajun and Creole food "” which are as independent as they are intertwined within a complex and rich culinary history.
