New Orleans’ Queen of Creole Cooking Still Reigns at 94
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 май 2017
- At Dooky Chase’s Restaurant in New Orleans, a hearty bowl of chef Leah Chase’s gumbo is an authentic taste of history. Widely known as the queen of Creole cuisine, Chase has served her Southern fare to world leaders and celebrities alike over her 71-year career, and she continues to cook today at age 94. Though her gumbo and fried chicken are legendary, her restaurant-a culinary landmark-made history of its own by serving as a meeting place for the civil rights movement of the 1960s. So come hungry and eat up; you won’t taste comfort food like this anywhere else.

why isn't this longer? I demand a longer video with this lovely woman and her cooking
littleskittles there's a another video by Bon appetite I think
littleskittles Look up the restaurant on RUclips. There's like a 10 minute version done by Zagat I think.
explain plz
there's a Bon Apetite videoon her, seven minutes long.
agree! i also make mini documentaries. though im just a small youtuber.
As of June 1, 2019, the world has lost a legend in the culinary field.
I was looking in the comments to see how she was doing. This sweet lady seemed like a treasure, and I'm saddened that I'll never meet her in this life.
:(
There are no words I could use to even begin to describe the profound respect I feel for that lady. Rest in peace, Leah, you treasure.
Hope they find her and in good health. Many prayers. 🙏
😥
real life Tiana*_*

71 years is a long time to be in that kitchen. Just goes to show you that as long as you Love What Your Doing. You'll never work a day in your life.
The .26 couple sitting at the table is me and my wife on our honeymoon!!! LOLOL we'll be back this year WE LOVE DOOKY CHASE
What a remarkable woman! That food looks de-licious!
The passion in this woman is CRAZY! The world needs more people like her.
Food looked really good.
Kanube!!! Its really cool to see you here
Just heard that she died today.
R.I.P Leah
Amazing woman!!! God bless her ❤
Keri Mate too bad there is no god
Keri Mate Amen!
I want to Die dude shut up
***** how the fuck are you supposed to know if it's was sarcasm
***** how the fuck are you supposed to know if it's was sarcasm
give this lady a Michelin star already!
StreetsWorth just one?
3 stars
It takes quality on every base to be the game that long
Mike Hunt one for her and her fried chicken 🍗 🤤
Unfortunately she died...
Sadly she died when she was 96 on June 1, 2019. :(. Rip, may she rest well
wow what a cool and interesting story hope i can visit that restaurant and eat the food it looks delicious :D
Woah 94 and still very active in the kitchen! What an inspiration! And Creole food is ultimate comfort food yum 😋
Mad respect for this passionate and hard working woman. It's good to see her still so strong at that age.
You guys deserve many million more subs. Most varied, diverse, informative and interesting videos without ever dropping in presentation quality.
Rest in peace to this sweet sweet lady
Always love New Orleans, the food and the people there are great.
After watching so much 'The Originals' on TV I really want to go and stay in New Orleans some time.
inspirational! bless her heart
Aww this popped up in my recommendations and made me a bit nostalgic. I was lucky enough to meet Leah Chase a couple months before her passing while dining at Dooky Chase. She was still working and in charge of the kitchen even then and it was an absolute pleasure to speak with her. Rip to the queen
I hate when people put hot sauce in Gumbo or Red beans and rice because it's sacrilege. I bet she still has a Red Beans and Rice special on Mondays. If you're from New Orleans too, then you know what I'm talking about.
BITCH PUDDIN' Blam! I get no hot sauce in gumbo but why not red beans and rice?
Ned Gold It's too vinegarry so it covers up the flavor of the spices and makes the beans smell weird. I think if you want more heat in your red beans, cayenne pepper or pepper flakes is the way to go.
My family in Houston puts hot sauce on their beans all the time but I think it's the Mexican influenced style of cooking that made them start to do it.
BITCH PUDDIN' Blam! Hmmm interesting. Next time I make red beans and rice I'll try it without hot sauce. And if I ever visit New Orleans I'll know it's a faux pas to do it so thanks.
Amen, I'm from TN but my mom's family is from southern MS / LA. Hot sauce isn't put in red beans and rice nor gumbo, if you HAVE to have some spice cut up a pepper and put it in your bowl.
CapTrainT Exactly! Bagged Red Beans and Rice takes hours to make and if you put hot sauce in the pot then you just ruined it for all the other people.
LOVED IT!!! Was A Treat of A Lifetime 👏👏👏Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Great Service!! Will visit again, & again.
This channel needs some attention. :D
I'd love to try her food
What a story. Got a tear in my eye. Fabulous woman.
What a wonderful story! Thanks for telling it.
this shows if you love what you are doing you can go a long way she is such a hardworking woman, this takes lots of love, hardwork, and dedication.
Rip Mrs. Chase your food has always toughed our soul and it will continue to do that everytime someone comes to the restaurant
I had a smile through the whole video
Great job
She reminds me so much of my own grandma ❤️❤️❤️ this video is too short for anyone that breathes.!
This is so precious. I just want to go there and eat all her delicious food. Really makes one aspire to this level of 'care-free' working attitude.
Wow! Great inspiration!
Awww, Fantastic! I love this so much! 💜
I heard she passed away recently. Rest in peace grandma
Saw her picture in the paper. She passed away at 96 years old. Rest in piece, Creole Queen.
There are so many awesome places I need to visit after I retire in like 20 years, can't wait.
She unfortunately passed away yesterday at 96
I loved the series of interviews with Mrs. Chase. And I think they may still be on YT if viewers look. It gives you a much fuller sense of this remarkable lady - how she grew up as a youngster, where she went to school, what she did BEFORE she found her way into the kitchen. Really great, and she has such humor, such grace, such a mischief. I like the way she had no qualms - gave Obama 'what for' when he started waving that hot sauce around..LOL.
Very very touching story.
wow such dedication and inspiration
her food looks delicious and she seems so fun! reminds me of my grandma, she'll be 99 this year and doesn't cook as often as she used to but still makes sure to feed anyone who comes to visit her and is very particular about what seasonings people decide to add to her stuff haha
wow!!! Respect and love to go and eat her food one day... looks so good🤤
Can't believe she's still cooking at 94!! The food looks so yummy! Love to go to New Orleans one day and hear the lovely accent in person :-)
OMG LOOKS SOO GOOD
sending love and respect your way...
Such a legend. Rest easy.
RIP we love and miss you🌹2019 NOLA QUEEN.

I think I found the secret to longer life, continue doing what you love for as long,as you can.
