NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — At the airport, coming in for a landing means coming in for a New Orleans lunch.
At Leah’s Kitchen. Named for the Queen of Creole Cuisine, Leah Chase. She died in 2019 at the age of 96. Up there in Heaven now. And up there in a 30-foot mural at the airport restaurant.
WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood has your seat at the table.
Chase was the chef who believed a bowl of gumbo could change the world.
She served her famous dish to civil rights leaders, actors, singers and anybody else who would join her.
