"Food world icon Leah Chase (who died at 96 in 2019), also known as the “Queen of Creole cuisine,” turned Dooky Chase’s into the legendary fine dining establishment it is now, and luckily the new generation is innovating while upholding her rich legacy. The warm Treme institution continues to nourish bodies and souls with dishes like gumbo z’herbes (gumbo with a variety of greens), shrimp Clemenceau (a dish of shrimp, potatoes, mushrooms, and peas), and fried chicken in the tradition of Miss Chase." - Clair Lorell
