A Guide to New Orleans’s James Beard Award-Winning Restaurants | Eater New Orleans
"The late chef Leah Chase earned two James Beard Awards for her restaurant Dooky Chase: Lifetime Achievement (2016) and Who’s Who in F&B (2010). With roots in Treme back to 1939, the restaurant resonates as deeply with New Orleans culture and civil rights history as it does with family recipes of gumbo, red beans, and shrimp creole. Her grandson chef Dook Chase and his wife, Gretchen opened Chapter IV in 2023, in homage to his grandmother’s fierce spirit." - Beth D’Addono
