Restaurant offering chicken, fish takes over former Chef’s location in Ascension Parish
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — A family-style restaurant recently opened its fourth location in Louisiana.
Leader’s Fried Chicken opened their latest location in August at 105 W. 10th St., Donaldsonville.
The owners are Logan Boudreaux and August Gonzales. Boudreaux said Leader’s Fried Chicken opened in 1976 and they bought the business in July 2022. Boudreaux said the restaurant was named after Newton Leader, who started the company.
He said in Donaldsonville, they “took occupancy in the building during the summer of 2024.” They took over the building which used to contain Chef’s. It has been there for over 50 years, Boudreaux said.
“Chef’s was adored by the Donaldsonville community and we have big shoes to fill,” he said.
Leader’s Fried Chicken has “fried bone-in chicken, fried chicken fingers, fried fish, and a variety of sides,” according to Boudreaux.
