ProStart Princesses: Honoring Chef Leah Chase at Disney’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
A group of young women from two ProStart programs in New Orleans are headed to Walt Disney World for an exclusive, all-expenses-paid culinary journey in honor of Chef Leah Chase, who inspired the animated motion picture The Princess and the Frog. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the newest attraction at Magic Kingdom Park, honors not only the legacy of the late Chef Leah Chase, but also serves as a love letter to New Orleans, complete with musicians, the scent of fresh beignets, and nods to cultural and Chase family references.
Twenty-five young women in total were selected from culinary arts programs in New Orleans, such as ProStart at Warren Easton High School, the New Orleans Career Center, NOCHI, NOCCA, and Café Reconcile.
The group will spend three days and four nights exploring all four theme parks, indulging in culinary explorations at the resort's most high-profile restaurants, and, of course, experiencing Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
