1. Dooky Chase

    Dooky Chase carries forward Leah Chase's civil-rights-era legacy through Chef Edgar's unfussy Creole cooking—gumbo, red beans, fried chicken—served in a red-walled dining room hung with African-American art. Attentive matriarchs and honest food create the rare restaurant where history and warmth feel inseparable.
