Leyah (Leah) Chase[1] (née Lange; January 6, 1923 – June 1, 2019) was an American chef based in New Orleans, Louisiana. An author and television personality, she was known as the Queen of Creole Cuisine, advocating both African-American art and Creole cooking. Her restaurant, Dooky Chase, was known as a gathering place during the 1960s among many who participated in the Civil Rights Movement,[2] and was known as a gallery due to its extensive African-American art collection. In 2018 it was named one of the 40 most important restaurants of the past 40 years by Food & Wine.
Chase was the recipient of a multitude of awards and honors. In her 2002 biography, Chase's awards and honors occupy over two pages.[3] Chase was inducted into the James Beard Foundation's Who's Who of Food & Beverage in America in 2010.[4] She was honored with a lifetime achievement award from the Southern Foodways Alliance in 2000.[5] Chase received honorary degrees from Tulane University, Dillard University,[6][7] Our Lady of Holy Cross College, Madonna College,[8] Loyola University New Orleans,[9] and Johnson & Wales University. She was awarded Times-Picayune Loving Cup Award in 1997.[10][11] The Southern Food and Beverage Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana, named a permanent gallery in Chase's honor in 2009.[3]
