Civil Rights Activist and Author

SYBIL MORIAL Sybil Haydel Morial, former First Lady of New Orleans and author of the

compelling new memoir about coming of age during Jim Crow days, is the matriarch of a family synonymous

with social progress in New Orleans. Sybil shared a remarkable life with Ernest N. “Dutch” Morial as his wife. “Dutch” broke down racial barriers and made history achieving many

“firsts,” culminating with his election as the first black mayor of New Orleans. A mover and shaker in her own right, Sybil’s landscape of achievements

spans stellar contributions to political change, civic organizations, education, religious groups,

government, the arts, and social and human rights institutions. She

has served on and led many various boards in the city, state and our nation.

hen Negroes were

banned by law from

meeting and dining in

local restaurants, Leah and Dooky

Chase courageously welcomed all to

meet and dine in the room upstairs at

Dooky Chase’s Restaurant. After the

U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawed

segregation in public schools, the

NAACP attorneys (INK FUND) came

to New Orleans to form a strategy to

challenge Louisiana segregation laws

with local attorneys, A.P. Tureaud, and

my husband, Ernest Morial.

I quote from my memoir, “Witness to

Change: From Jim Crow to Political

Empowerment” page 68:

“The team (of attorneys) met for the

most part in the Claver Building, taking

breaks for lunch and, on days when

they worked late, dinner.

Since these meetings included both

black and white attorneys, having

meals out posed an obstacle: under

Louisiana law, mixed race groups were

not permitted to eat together. The

INK FUND attorneys and their cohorts,

however, knew they could go to Dooky

Chase’s Restaurant a few blocks down

Orleans Avenue, where there was a

separate room upstairs, a safe place

where the attorneys – and any other

mixed-race groups – could meet

without harassment. The strategizing

that went on there, over bowls of Leah

Chase’s hot gumbo and red beans

and rice, helped to undercut the legal

foundation of Jim Crow. The restaurant

became a landmark of the Civil Rights

Movement.”

I have known Leah Chase for all of my

adult life and consider her a dear friend

and role model. Through the years,

Leah Chase has been the most generous

contributor to important causes in the

City of New Orleans that I know. She has

supported organizations without any

expectation of recognition or applause.

She has brought, and continues to bring

warmth, love and wonderful wit to every

occasion. She is a New Orleans treasure

and is being recognized nationally as she

should be.

Her genius in presenting the art of African

Americans, of both international and

local fame, is a gift to all who go to the

restaurant. People who never step inside

an art museum can dine in and enjoy the

wonderful art on her walls.

Dooky and the entire Chase family have

made Dooky Chase’s Restaurant a “must

dine restaurant” for the famous and all

others no matter their station in life.

Chasing a heritage of good cooking with the Legendary Leah Chase.

his dish, as I remember, was a must for Sunday

dinners. It was just called “pané meat.” Veal round

steaks were always used for this recipe. It was

important to have the rounds cut to the right thickness, about

a half-inch. Steaks were trimmed and cut into serving-size

pieces, always leaving the small round bone intact. When

fried, the marrow in this bone is delicious.

The meat was never beaten as one would do to a cutlet.

by Leah Chase of Dooky Chase’s Restaurant

For frying the veal, my mother always used the big cast-iron

frying pan (today I use a Magnalite chicken fryer). The veal

was carefully fried so as not to burn the breading.

The sight of the large white platters heaped with golden

brown meat always brought broad smiles from everyone. It

was equally as good when served cold.

Today at Dooky’s we serve veal pané with jambalaya,

prepared just as it was done at my home.

INGREDIENTS2 cups bread crumbs

1 tsp. paprika

3 eggs, beaten

1 ½ cups Pet milk

2 large veal round steaks

1 tbsp. salt

1 tbsp. black pepper

2 cups vegetable oil

Please enjoy this recipe from Dooky Chase’s and

Mix bread crumbs and paprika; set aside. Add beaten eggs to milk and beat

together until well blended.

Trim skin and fat from steaks and cut into serving pieces. Do not remove bones.

Salt and pepper veal on both sides. Place in milk mixture. Be sure that all sides

are well coated. Let sit in mixture for about 10 minutes.

Dredge meat in crumbs. Heat oil in heavy pan. Oil should be just hot enough to

start frying meat. Do not turn on high heat. Place meat in hot oil and brown on

both sides. Cook until meat is done, about 10 minutes. Yield: 6 servings.
