She said she had to slap him down when he tried to add hot sauce to her dish.

"Mr.

Obama, you don't put hot sauce in my gumbo," Chase recalled in an interview with WWL-TV.

"So I had to reprimand him.

"蔡斯回忆说，2008年奥巴马竞选总统时，她在这家餐厅招待了他。

奥巴马先生，你不能在我的秋葵汤里放辣酱，”蔡斯在接受WWL-TV采访时回忆道，所以我不得不责备他。

6, 1923.

蔡斯1923年1月6日出生在路易斯安那州的麦迪逊维尔，庞恰特雷恩湖北岸。

She married Edgar "Dooky" Chase Jr.

, a jazz trumpeter and band leader in 1945.

She went to work at her father-in-law's sandwich shop in New Orleans, where she convinced the family to expand the business, to make it more like the finer restaurants she had worked at in the city’s French Quarter.

1945年，她嫁给了爵士小号手兼乐队指挥埃德加·杜奇”·蔡斯。

她去了新奥尔良公公的三明治店工作，她说服家人扩大生意，让它更像她在本市法国区工作过的那些高档餐厅。

The restaurant became a gathering place for leaders of the civil rights movement to discuss strategy, often with their white allies.

这家餐馆成了民权运动领袖们讨论策略的聚会场所，他们经常与白人盟友讨论策略。

In 2005, when Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city, the Dooky Chase restaurant was flooded, with 1.

The damage was so extensive some thought it would never reopen.

But it did two years later.

损失如此之大，一些人认为它可能不会重新开放了，但两年后该店又重新开张。

Leah Chase could be seen at the restaurant until a few months ago, greeting guests and overseeing the kitchen with the help of a walker.

直到几个月前，人们还能看到利亚·蔡斯(Leah Chase)还在这家餐厅里，在他人的帮助下问候客人并监督厨房。

"I love people and I love serving people.

It's fun for me to serve people.

Because sometimes people will come in and they're tired.

And just a little plate of food will make people happy,'' she said during a 2015 interview with The Associated Press.

我爱大家，我愿意为大家服务，为人民服务对我来说很有趣。

因为有时候人们很疲惫地到这里来，仅仅一小盘食物就会让他们很开心。

”她在2015年接受美联社采访时说。
