Dooky Chase's Restaurant, established in 1941 in New Orleans' Treme neighborhood, began as a sandwich shop and lottery ticket outlet before evolving into a renowned family restaurant. Founded by Emily and Dooky Chase Sr., it has become a cultural hub, attracting musicians, politicians, and artists, while serving authentic Creole cuisine.

After closing for two years due to Hurricane Katrina, Dooky Chase's has continued to thrive as a family-owned establishment, maintaining its legacy as a premier dining destination. The restaurant has had the honor of serving notable figures, including Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, solidifying its status in the culinary landscape of New Orleans.
