1. In a large stockpot or gumbo pot, heat the oil over medium heat, then stir in the flour. Cook until roux is your desired color - we find that a dark brownish color, almost the color of a Hershey bar, works best. You will need to stir the roux pretty frequently so that it doesn't burn, but if you park your cutting board next to the stove, you can get all your vegetables diced up while the roux cooks.
2. While cooking the roux, you can also bake your okra in the oven - about 350°F for 30 minutes, stirring as needed. (This will help get rid of that slimy okra texture that so many people hate.)
3. Add the holy trinity (celery, onions, and green peppers) to the roux.
4. Stir until the onions are translucent - about 3 minutes.

1. Rinse the okra under cold water then trim the stem of the pod but do not cut into the pod itself.
2. Add the trimmed okra pods to a microwave-safe bowl and pour in 1 cup of water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place into the microwave.
3. Cook the okra for 3-4 minutes on high power. Transfer the bowl from the microwave and carefully remove a corner of the plastic wrap to allow the steam to escape. When cool enough to handle cut each pod into 1/4-inch slices. Reserve.
4. Add the olive oil and the bacon drippings (or butter) to a large heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat. Add the flour and stir continually until the mixture turns golden brown. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook and stir frequently until the roux browns to the color desired, about 40 to 60-minutes.

1. Make a roux by whisking the flour and 3/4 cup bacon drippings together in a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat to form a smooth mixture. Cook the roux, whisking constantly, until it turns a rich mahogany brown color. This can take 20 to 30 minutes; watch heat carefully and whisk constantly or roux will burn. Remove from heat; continue whisking until mixture stops cooking.
2. Place the celery, onion, green bell pepper, and garlic into the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the vegetables are very finely chopped. Stir the vegetables into the roux, and mix in the sausage. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
3. Bring the water and beef bouillon cubes to a boil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Stir until the bouillon cubes dissolve, and whisk the roux mixture into the boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer, and mix in the sugar, salt, hot pepper sauce, Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, thyme, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Simmer the soup over low heat for 1 hour; mix in 2 teaspoons of file gumbo powder at the 45-minute mark.
4. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in a skillet, and cook the okra with vinegar over medium heat for 15 minutes; remove okra with slotted spoon, and stir into the simmering gumbo. Mix in crabmeat, shrimp, and Worcestershire sauce, and simmer until flavors have blended, 45 more minutes. Just before serving, stir in 2 more teaspoons of file gumbo powder.
