At @dookychaserestaurant , a hug — from a member of the restaurant family or their long-serving staff — is so common and genuine, for regulars it can feel like a first course to the meal.
On Tuesday, the embraces were a little tighter, and lasted just a bit longer.
It was the first day back for the Treme landmark, four days after a brazen shooting in the restaurant.
New Orleans people showed up.
Dooky Chase’s is more than a place to eat.
It’s home to a shared New Orleans culture of connection, told through distinctive food that becomes more than a meal.
It’s the way the experience makes you feel.
It’s the history of the restaurant, and the way its next generation make an expanded notion of family feel possible through hospitality.
On Tuesday, hospitality was a two-way street as it clearly flowed back to the restaurant — from people who value its role in their city, who needed to express their care for the people behind it.
