Saturday at Dooky Chase's

Dooky Chase's: a storied neighborhood restaurant with institution status. And if you're lucky you'll get to meet its lovely matriarch, Leah Chase.
It may have been grandson Chef Edgar "Dooky" Chase IV doing the cooking demonstration, but 86-year-old Leah still really runs the kitchen.

Recently back from culinary school in Paris, Dooky #4 is inheriting the kitchen reins while twin brothers Trevor and Travis cover the front side of the restaurant. Hang around long enough and you'll meet a lot more of the family.

From the kitchen...

...to the dining room.
