The Creole gumbo created by the late Leah Chase has been served for decades to freedom riders, civil rights leaders, presidents, and black students in a still-segregated New Orleans who wanted to go somewhere nice after prom. With the history that took place over a bowl of gumbo at Dooky Chase’s as rich as the dish itself, Ms. Chase used to proclaim she could solve the problems of the world with her gumbo.
