Dooky Chase Restaurant

Dooky Chase Restaurant - Review - Treme - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"There are many New Orleans restaurants with storied histories, but none quite like Dooky Chase’s, which was a central meeting point during the Civil Rights Movement and fed its famous fried chicken to A.P. Tureaud and Thurgood Marshall. Get a plate of that chicken for yourself while you admire the art on the walls from Black artists. On Holy Thursday (the last Thursday before Easter Sunday), they do gumbo z’herbes, a traditional preparation of the local dish made with nearly a dozen greens and plenty of meat or without if you prefer it vegan." - Zella Palmer
