 Chase envisioned her restaurant as a modern version of what it once was.In a time where she would sell sandwiches and snacks from a walk-up window, the bar would be a social hub in the community again, and her restaurant would be open for lunch and dinner with an extended menu so more people could enjoy her food.According to the family of Chase, the hours of operation and limited menu were intended to save Leah Chase from "her own work ethic."
