ue Doody, owner of Lindey's Restaurant in German Village and author of As the Table Turns, will address the UA Women's Club on Friday, April 16 at 1:00 pm.

A graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University, Sue taught public school, catered and taught cooking classes from her home before opening Lindey’s in 1981.

Sue’s passion for cooking was fueled in classes with Betty Rosbottom at La Belle Pomme, with Lisa Gallat at A Matter of Taste, at Nancy Jeffrey’s Good Things cook store, and at Columbus State with chef Carolyn Claycomb. But as her son Rick Doody, the CEO of Bravo! Development Inc., remembers, “When WOSU began to air The French Chef, I remember Mom and Dad ran out to buy a new television so we could have one in the kitchen, so Mom could cook right along with Julia, reading ahead in Julia’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking so she’d have everything ready the moment the program began.”

The Columbus Dispatch’s Grumpy Gourmet wrote, “Since…opening night—I have referred to Sue as the ‘Ella Brennan of Columbus .’ (If Ella’s Commander’s Palace exists in 2031, it will be on a barge tied dockside in Baton Rouge , and the original Palace in New Orleans will be a spawning reef for the fishes.) German Village and Columbus are on high ground, like the Doody legend.”

But beyond the admiration for her amazing skills in the kitchen, Central Ohio and the restaurant community have long recognized Sue Doody for her humanity and compassion. “I believe I’ve always had a true feeling about people,” Sue says, in her new book. “I’ve never treated my staff as if they were merely employees. I want to know about their families and their life outside of Lindey’s—as well as their life here. But I also hope my interest in them communicates that I hope they will treat our guests with similar interest and compassion.” Sue and Lindey’s have been supporters of and patrons to nearly every nonprofit in the Columbus , with particularly generous contributions to Action for Children, Columbus Symphony, BalletMet, Opera Columbus, and the Columbus College of Art and Design.
