Dooky Chase's Restaurant Nutrition Facts

Dooky Chase's Restaurant is a Creole cuisine landmark in New Orleans' Tremé neighborhood, famed for its gumbo, fried chicken, and role in Civil Rights history under Leah Chase, now led by her grandson Chef Edgar Dook Chase IV. Signature dishes include Shrimp Creole, Chicken Creole, and the Grilled Pork Chop, alongside lighter salads like the Roasted Beet salad and Sweet Chili glazed shrimp salad.

For macro-conscious diners, order the Grilled Pork Chop—a 13oz double-cut chop served with mustard greens and skip the candied sweet potatoes—to prioritize protein from lean grilled meat while controlling carbs. The Chicken a la Dooky, a baked boneless chicken breast stuffed with oyster dressing, offers another high-protein choice at around 40g protein depending on portion. Watch out for the Southern Fried Chicken, where three pieces plus sides like French fried potatoes easily exceed 1000 calories from breading and oil.
