She was a lovely woman. My dad took me to her restaurant when I was about 12 years old. I grumbled that my gumbo didn't have enough shrimp. The waitress must have mentioned my comment to Miss Chase who then came out from the kitchen and told me "you get what you get.". She laughed at the look on my face and then proceeded to add more shrimp to my dish. Then she sat down and chatted with us for a while. She was so interesting and her knowledge of New Orleans cuisine and history was fascinating. She was an American treasure .
Leah Chase was a marvelous lady. During Hurricane Katrina's aftermath she helped to feed the people. She was active and alert right up until her home going.
6:31 Guy: "You look good, girl!" Mrs. Chase: "I'm hangin'." Definition of a cool woman right there. Rest in peace, Mrs. Chase. All love from Indonesia and The Netherlands. A visit to The Restaurant is high up on my bucketlist.
As a little girl my grandparents took me to Dooky Chase at least once a month. Mrs. Leah was always kind, funny and made time to come say hello. My family loves to tell the story of how I fell asleep at the table and Mrs. Leah had them make me a little cot out of tablecloths and let me sleep on it while the adults ate. I haven’t been in years but I wish I’d had the chance to see her one last time. She is greatly missed by the people of New Orleans and will always be the Creole Queen. R.I.P. Mrs. Leah Chase❤️❤️
Making gumbo is truly a labor of love. I learned from my grandmother, who is from Louisiana. My mother moved north to Buffalo, NY with the gumbo recipe and now I make it annually for my entire huge family from scratch. Including ordering spices from Louisiana and mixing my own as well. My northern counterparts now joke that I should open a gumbo shop and sell it. LOL. Thanks Grandma!
Gumbo Z'Herbes!!! 😱 I'm from Nigeria and that gumbo is a traditional staple dish within the region I'm from; and it's been a staple for thousands of years. Can't believe what I just saw with my own two eyes!! God bless America!!
I didn't know she passed!!! I never met her, tho I been to N.O. numerous times, but I've seen her on so many documentaries, cooking shows, etc... you can't help but love her, she reminds you of your Nana... love my Black elders !!! enjoy your eternal reward, you possessed such a good spirit ♡
She seems like she's the elderly grandma who EVERYONE, loved, respected, admired, and revered. It's amazing that she continued to be so active even into her mid-to late 90's. I like how the young man interviewing Mrs. Chase was also wearing a nearly identical shade of pink to match her chef's coat and how much he clearly enjoyed having the opportunity to sit down and share a meal with her. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I grew up across the street from Dooky Chase, their food was delicious. Beautiful and respectful family. I loved their potatoe sandwich dressed on french and chicken sandwich on french. The Chase family was good to the Lafitte neighborhood.
History, culture, people coming together over great food! Man, there's some negative people in the world, to dislike something like this. Thank you, Dr. C, I love your videos. And thanks for introducing Mrs. Chase to those of us who didn't know!
I have lived in New Orleans area all my life and have NEVER seen any Gumbo with corn...I think Ms. Leah Chase is an inspiration and a beautiful person. She reminds me of my 97year old Grandma who is still going strong.
How can you dislike this video? 7 people never had gumbo and those 7 people hate themselves. I could not sit there and not tear up that gumbo. I have never had a bowl of good gumbo that got cold when I was eating it.
Im about 45 min outside of New Orleans in Mississippi...and I love being from the Gulf South especially this part...we take what we have and make something amazing. Thanksgiving and Christmas is gumbo season in my neck of the woods. Yes lawd. If the roux ain't right the gumbo ain't right, labor of love. Ain't nothing like gulf seafood baby.
Her face and expression when saying "corn in a gumbo" matched the same way myself & my family respond to "weird" things in Cajun food! God bless, RIP. What a blessing she was. Reminds me of my grandmother to the tee!
My husband and I were in a special class at UNO in preparation for developing a business plan. We were introduced to Mrs. Leah Chase. She was kind, wise, innovative, and a culinary genius. She talked with us about the culture and heritage of New Orleans Cusine and its people. I will never forget the knowledge She shared with such love and grace. Mrs. Leah truly fulfilled her purpose, and we all are better because of her journey.
The amount of cultures that come together in this one dish is amazing. I worked at a Creole restaurant in my hometown in North Carolina for two summers during High School and their gumbo was one of their best dishes. I really have to make my way back down to Louisiana to really experience this wondrous food from the source alongside just experiencing the people and culture there. Being a white person in the United States makes you forget how amazing some cultures in your own nation are. This channel is just amazing. I can't wait to see what dish is next, perhaps Jambalaya. Thanks for creating.
It's good you want to learn about different cultures, you should start with yours. White doesn't have culture, but Italian does, french does, russian does, Irish does, scottish does, hungarian does, german does, Dutch does, Polish does, Romanian does, Australian does, dutch does, belorussian does, Austrian does, Bosnian does, Serbian does, Croatian does, ukrainian does, Jewish does, Swiss does, Swede does, Norwegian does, kiwis do, finnish do, scandanavian do, czech do, and even many people that look and classify as white actually have ancestry from latin cultures such as Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay, Spain, Portugal and others that look white and don't know their personal history have bloodlines from around the Mediterranean such as Greece, Turkey, Jordan and others. Then even many subcultures within each of these. I'm sure you know this and it isn't meant to offend you. It's just that acting like all white people are the same and have the same history is a problem, not all of us have the British roots that most associate with the term white people that colonized the U.S.
@Audrey Palmer shame on you for not be able to comprehend my comment. The OP stated that being white in the U.S. makes you forget all the cultures. I stated that white isn't a culture. Scotish is a culture, Irish is a culture, English is a culture but being white is not. So then tell me what YOU do to celebrate either of these cultures you're willing to get on here and berate me over please.
This is the most beautiful and heartfelt video idk why it’s making me so sentimental. Why am I just not now seeing this? Her soul is infinite. I can feel her through this screen 🖤🖤🖤
The Dooky Chase needs to be saved as a historical monument in the Treme yesterday, if it already hasn't. I was so fortunate to visit in 1999 on an extended weekend as a Marine stationed in Biloxi, Mississippi. To know the history of that place, some of the people who came through and some of the change that was fostered in those walls for America, not just black people...incredible. And I haven't even talked about the food. The gumbo was so good, I was trying to take bowls back to the barracks! Losing Mrs. Chase wasn't just a loss for the incredible city of New Orleans, but Black America.
Chef Leah Chase cooking and her food is to die for it is so delicious. I learned a lot from her, my big mama Julia Temple, my aunt Lillie Mallet and my mother-in-law at the time Mary Francis Crossley. They are and were great cooks....It naturally rubbed off on me!
I remember we used eat there every Sunday after church and special occasions. My grandma knew her very well and they would chat as we ate. We have nothing but great childhood memories of this restaurant. Back when food was good and our elders put their heart in their meals.❤🙏🏾🙏🏾 She was a real sweet lady!🙏🏾Blessings🙏🏾
But we really do in Charleston SC. I did she just come for SC lolol. But dude was mixed up. Gullahs or the geechie here eat what we call frogmore stew that has corn in it Our gumbo doesn’t have corn in it lol
As soon as he said tomatoes kinda frowned and when he said corn made the same face and turned my head. I could not look at someone who puts corn in gumbo and eat my food...
South Carolina have the strongest orginal black culture. If they put corn in gumbo respect it. There culture wasn't over shadow by Caucasian take over.
I’m a new aspiring chef. I found Dookie Chase and fell in love with Leah’s artwork. It’s an honor to listen to her wisdom and see her cooking being recorded
I love her energy her personality! She reminds me of a grandmother or great auntie! Her family is so bless to have her? I'm planning a trip to. N.O i have to try her gumbo & her fried chicken looks delicious! At her restaurant! God Bless her and her family! 💜🙌🏻. I love being part creole and island descent! I love me some gumbo.
The corn is cob corn sliced in ~2 inch long 'mini-cobs'. It's fished out and eat en as a side dish of gumbo flavored corn. First time I had it this way it was a seafood gumbo full of blue crabs and shrimp. It was almost like if seafood gumbo and New England clam-bake had a baby.
Her whole face squinches up at the idea. Like she was personally offended by the notion. I get why tho, corn would add a sweetness to the gumbo that undermines the rest of the flavors
Recently, I learned about the Mississippi Delta Chinese-American community, and their century-long history in the US. I'd love to see a future episode about their cuisine!
Rest In Peace Ms. Leah Chase 🥰💕 thank you for the legacy you’ve left for us. I’ll be making this recipe tomorrow while watching princess and the frog on Netflix ☺️🍛
Got news..in a way...Mrs. Chase is STILL here. Her warmth, kindness and caring for others, passion for life, food, and her loved ones -- she lives on in each of us. Let us each, remember and strive to emulate her examples in all ways. Bless you, dear lady.
I ain't gonna lie he must be talking about stew. I'm from Georgetown, SC and we love corn in and with everything but not gumbo...maybe he should have said "some do it"
Miz Chase is a national treasure--not only for her cooking skills, but for her treasury of knowledge about the history of the region's foodways--and the history of which she herself has been a part.
One of the best dining experience ever - Dookie Chase's Restaurant - in the early 1990s. Beautiful food, fine art, best mint julep served in a silver cup. Love that woman, love her cookbook.
I was made aware of this restaurant dinesty on our local public television station in St.Louis, and made it a point to watch as often as possible. Great family people, enjoyed watching, have made some dishes, but sure not as in good,! Next visit to New Orleans I plan to be there for gumbo!
She is so right about that corn in gumbo👎🏾. I recently had some gumbo at a restaurant that had no seafood and mostly veggies. It was essentially a liquid succotash
That restaurant has been in business a very long time and they produce top quality food and you can tell that by the people who show up to eat. Mrs. Leah Chase has been in the kitchen a very long time and has taught their chefs how to produce the best of Louisiana dishes.
I’m a Creole from New Orleans and there’s never corn in Gumbo. It’s mostly a dish of an African origin. The slaves brought over the technique from west Africa. Other ingredients were added due to being in Louisiana.

Yep, the way my momma makes it!
What are the main 'special' spices you're adding?

What a beautiful soul she was. So much history and knowledge. She was like your grandma and everything she made,was done with love!
Gumbo Z'Herbes!!!
😱 I'm from Nigeria and that gumbo is a traditional staple dish within the region I'm from; and it's been a staple for thousands of years.
Can't believe what I just saw with my own two eyes!!
God bless America!!
My heart is melting. I love how passionate Louisiana folk are about their delicious food.
Love what she says “...I’ve never had a bad one” ❤️
Yes we are VERY PASSIONATE about our FOOD!💯🙋🏾♀️😁💜

She was a GEM! Invited me into her kitchen and I was in awe!! RIP always Miss Leah!

Mrs Chase and her restaurant is so respected, even the weather didn’t want to mess with her.
Is it just me or does anyone else just really love this sweet lady's voice while narrating?
Along with her no nonsense personality 😁

Thats Frogmore Stew he talkin bout. My family is fromBeaufort and Gullah too. They eat that type of gumbo or boil.
This was one amazing woman! Thank you Leah Chase!!!
Hey man! Good job, BIG respect! Hope we all will see more of unusual but sure great meals on the channel.

i refuse to accept tomatoes in gumbo either :)
liquid succotash. lol :)
Liquid Succaotash....I died 5 deaths!!!! I know the feeling, but I didn't have the words until now! 🤣
Such a treat. Thank you
As soon I saw an old lady I knew this recipe was the one I needed
RIGHTTTT
That restaurant has been in business a very long time and they produce top quality food and you can tell that by the people who show up to eat. Mrs. Leah Chase has been in the kitchen a very long time and has taught their chefs how to produce the best of Louisiana dishes.

African immigrants actually dont eat gumbo or act like they don't.
Sarissa Vaughn Africa is a continent. Mostly countries from west Africa
In Louisiana, when we can hold a large cooking spoon and reach the top of the stove? That is when we start early to learn how to make Gumbo.
It’s a indigenous black recipe ,not from
West Africa .
@@jasminepearls1047 that’s because black Americans are not Africans ,Gumbo is a black American dish ,southern dish ,not no African dish ..
I was blessed to meet Ms. Chase and dine at her establishment. Best fried chicken and gumbo. She is a star!
If more people valued good foods, good people, and good company humanity would be in a better place. Rest well and thank you for everything.
Two things that I learned is that food and music bring people together
