"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

"From legendary Creole spots like Dooky Chase Restaurant in the Tremé to hot newcomers such as Mexican seafood stunner Acamaya, from 2022 F&W Best New Chef Ana Castro, in the Bywater, almost everything you might crave around game time is either a quick walk or short bike ride away, as pedicabs swarm the streets ready to give fans a lift on big days." - Adam H.
