Vegetarian Gumbo Zombie Attack!

This content originally appeared on my former Chicagosphere online-media blog, hosted on the Chicago Tribune’s ChicagoNow network.

Husband-and-wife food bloggers Kelly Reis and Jason Waclawik video their meatless kitchen adventures every week at The Vegetarian Librarian. Just in time for Halloween 2009, on this week’s show some unexpectedly undead guests arrive to sample the duo’s vegetarian/vegan gumbo.

Watch as Kelly goes from roux to stew, blithely unaware of the creepy mood music and creepier characters climbing in her kitchen windows. I never knew meatless gumbo to be that popular with the living, so Reiss and Waclawik must have some real culinary, er, tricks up their collective sleeve. That is, until tonight’s dinner devolves into pleading screams of, “Get back, zombies! Get back!”
