The film is a 27-minute glimpse into the life of New Orleans chef Leah Chase. Following the film, Pelican Bomb will invite Mrs. Chase to participate in a public conversation with local artist Willie Birch. The conversation will touch on the important contributions that Mrs. Chase and Dooky Chase’s Restaurant have made to New Orleans food, arts, and culture.
