The Dooky Chase Kitchen: Leah's Legacy
Holy Thursday
Season 1
Episode 109
Holy Thursday is an important Creole tradition celebrated at Dooky Chase since 1973. The focus of the meal is a hearty meat-packed Gumbo Z’Herbes served before fasting begins on Good Friday. In addition to this labor of love, on this episode Chefs Dook Chase and Cleo Robinson also prepare Fried Chicken accompanied by a classic French 75 cocktail from Eve Marie Haydel.
