Description

There isn't much that can stop Leah and Dooky from cooking up true southern soul food at their Dooky Chase Restaurant, including Hurricane Katrina. The restaurant opened in the 1950's, when Leah worked part-time making delicious Creole and African dishes for local workers. Word of her savory creations and delectable dishes quickly spread throughout the city, and is still going strong today, even after temporarily closing to repair the damage left behind from Katrina. After eating here, it's not hard to see why New Orleans loves Dooky Chase. Leah and Dooky are dedicated to creating the best food in New Orleans for locals and tourists, at a bargain price, in a generous atmosphere.
