 Emily Tenette Chase and Edgar “Dooky” Chase, Sr. opened the doors of Dooky Chase’s Restaurant
for business in 1941. Initially a sandwich shop and lottery ticket outlet in 1939, Dooky’s evolved into
a thriving bar and later a respected family restaurant in the Tremé Neighborhood. The restaurant
would become a meeting place for music and entertainment, civil rights, and culture in New Orleans.
In 1946, Edgar “Dooky” Chase, Jr., a jazz musician, married Leah Lange Chase. Through the vision
of Dooky Jr. and Leah, the barroom and sandwich shop grew into a sit-down restaurant wrapped
within the cultural environment of African-American art, jazz, and Creole cooking. Together the
couple would introduce one of the first African American fine dining restaurants to the Country.
Dooky Chase’s Restaurant remains family owned and operated and the premier restaurant for
authentic Creole Cuisine. The Chase Family continues to be a catalyst for social change and voices for
progress in the City of New Orleans by threading cultures through food and music.
To Our Many Customers
“This place is dedicated to the fun-loving people of our great city who are desirous of enjoying good
food and drinks where there is always good order.”
Edgar “Dooky” Chase Sr.
“Oh, what a jewel you are to intertwine your very own unselfish desires that you might enrich the lives
of others. This we of Dooky Chase’s Restaurant feel you have done in our behalf- by your continuous
support of our business and to you we are forever grateful.”
Edgar “Dooky” Chase Jr.
“We have to pay attention to one another, regardless of how someone may look or act, look again.
Looking at people is like looking at art. I may look at a painting and dislike it because I don’t understand
it but then I’ll look deeper and I’ll see things better.”
Chef Leah Chase
We are grateful for your support of our business and we hope you enjoy dining at Dooky’s.
