Tips from the community
Gumbo: Gumbo is a roux based stew typically featuring a variety of meats, seafood, and served with rice. It can be found year-round, but is particularly in season when the temperature dips below 70 degrees in the winter. The best place to try gumbo in the city is at Dooky Chase. Dooky Chase’s food is so nationally recognized that two US presidents have visited the establishment, however it stays true to its roots and has the no-frills feel of entering grandma’s kitchen. Leah Chase - former chef at the establishment was nicknamed the “Queen of Creole Cuisine” for her artistic cooking abilities.
