One of my most memorable foodie experiences was eating lunch at Dooky Chase. And as if the fantastic food (oh, that chicken..and that gumbo) wasn't enough, we were blessed to have Leah Chase sit down with us - out of nowhere - and chat for about 10 minutes. We were slack-jawed the whole rest of the day. Just a delight to talk to, and a real culinary and cultural pioneer. She was a national treasure.
