Besides being a master of Creole and Cajun cuisine, and introducing the world to a style of cooking that he calls “New New Orleans,” Lagasse has also built a culinary empire that includes restaurants, books, merchandising, and endorsements.
To find out more about this talented celebrity chef, let’s kick it up a notch and look into the truth about Emeril Lagasse.

Who is your favorite celebrity chef?
Justin Wilson Jeff Smith Martin Yan
ManBearPig...
Julia Child, both for her devotion to education about cooking and for her occasionally ham-fisted or ungainly bravura when things went wrong or when she felt she needed to push past some sort of difficulty in the kitchen. You couldn't help but love her combination of intelligence, Earhart-esque sense of conquer-the-world adventure, no-nonsense American sensibilities, quirky sense of humor, and even her occasional but lovable stubbornness. Jacques Pepin apparently had his hands full with Julia more than he always felt comfortable with, but Julia's path to TV fame was laid through an educational and 'can do'-at-home approach rather than via beating a path forward through the restaurant food service industry. Jacques is of course a world-class chef, but with a fairly quiet and unassuming manner, and also evident integrity. When I try his cooking techniques and suggestions they WORK. Julia & Jacques still managed to get along publicly in front of the camera and to make us enjoy their camaraderie, even if it was for them at times a bit forced or rehearsed.
Other celebrity chefs-I like Emeril for his good-heartedness, Alton Brown for his go-get-'em, oddball sense of humor, Jacques Pepin for his humble integrity, depth of knowledge/skill and very practical devotion to his art, and Rachel Ray for being a 'down home' gal originally from my part of upstate New York and for being 'no-nonsense practical' but still fun-loving all the time. I never warmed up much to Guy Fieri (for reasons I can't pin down); or to Anthony Bourdain (because of his seeming lack of humor); or, in the long run, to Gordon Ramsey (because his driven, overbearing management style is too stressfully like the worst parts of everyday life that one seeks to escape when watching TV). Even so, I can recognize that Gordon is an accomplished, careful, dedicated chef and a no-nonsense businessman who is no one's fool and knows how things must be. Jamie Oliver seems knowledgeable and 'lovable' while I somehow find Bobby Flay irritating and get tired of his 'southwestern take' on WAY too many things. Martin Yan is fun and personable but his schtick gets old pretty quick. Martha Stewart sometimes has useful tips to offer but she strikes me as 'stuck up' somehow.
Should celebrity chefs be more about education vs. entertainment? I would say that to succeed on TV, they have the ability to entertain somehow EVEN AS THEY ALSO GENUINELY EDUCATE. I think most people ARE looking for cooking tips to help themselves improve and to give them new ideas, but that the reason they seek out a celebrity chef on TV is also TO ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH SOMEONE THEY CONSIDER A LIKABLE AND FUN FRIEND.
In terms of INTERNET 'celebrity' chefs, there are three standout great people who come to my mind: Laura Vitale ("Laura in the Kitchen"), the hilarious Chef John ("Food Wishes"), and Clara Cannucciari ("Great Depression Cooking") All of these folks have succeeded wonderfully because their channels present them with great pacing, and because they are all full of winsome personality, so it's fun to 'spend time' with each of them, although Clara is now deceased.
The Swedish Chef.
@christ1313 LOL. 🤣😂
I used to work at Emeril’s in New Orleans, his first restaurant. I can say that in real life he is a super nice, down to earth guy. He’d drop by the restaurant maybe once a month and every time he was in he would take time to great every single table and thank them for coming to his restaurant and take pictures with anyone who asked. The environment working there was great too, not the super intense cut throat stuff you see about restaurants in the movies. I felt really proud to have the opportunity to work for him.
That is so awesome dude! He is a inspiration
So cool that you put this out there. I always liked Emeril.
That's good to know. Watching his show, I always figured that he had serious rage just below the surface.
@@yuknoimreighte5993 wow what's YOUR problem?
I ran into him several limes around '86 - '88 and he is, without exception a MOST fully down-to-earth, real, caring, dignified, respectful guy anyone can imagine............
Personally, I stopped watching The Food Network when they moved from cooking shows to competitions.
Competitions and shows like mystery diners, which does not focus on cooking.
Amen!
i stopped watching it when they hired that shit head mooch guy fieri! the food network morphed into the guy fieri network!
I stopped when they let Paula Deen go.
Is topped when they stopped showing Alton brown and Giada.
The truth about Emeril Legasse is: he's a sweet expression of loving kindness. He's compassionate, caring, hard working and an inspiration. That's the truth. Bam.
Amen!
We missed is show so pleasant to watch.
Truer words have neer been spoken.
BAM!!!
My dad loved Emeril. He'd always yell BAM when he was cooking to make us laugh. RIP dad.
My mom was the same, RIP mom.
My Dad loved his show as well Brother...
💥
Much respect man, RIP
Bam !!
I’ve spent a few hours talking with Emeril in the past and he has shown me that he cares about people, he loves making food for them and sharing how to make good food. I can’t account for his finances, but I seriously doubt he was knowingly doing anything wrong. He has proven himself as a good human when no one else is looking. That’s a sign of integrity.
I’d believe it! The restaurant industry is full of a lot of those kind of people! Tough industry though! No other place I’d rather be!
Cool you met Emeril- I’d love to meet him 1 day! I always loved watching his cooking show. I even watched his comedy series show. ~Elizabeth
Man I just watched the video and the last half is nothing but bad news after bad news since Emeril Live was cut in 2007.
He and Alton Brown were my favorites on the network.
"Meeting" him is one thing, but spending a *FEW HOURS* with him? I'm curious...care to share your connection or just how it is he afforded you several *HOURS* of his time? Thx
Genuinely nice people are really hard to find these days.... Everyone has become so jaded.
Emeril Lagasse was and is his own man. Totally unique. I wish only the best for him and his family.
I’ll give that a BAM!
You're a good man.
Watching Emeril inspired me to become a Chef.>>And I have been a Chef for 15 years.
Awesome 🥰
Good on you my friend 👍
Keep it up
Personally, I HATE the artificial stress, tension & anxiety of shows like Iron Chef, Hell's Kitchen etc. I *loved* Emeril, and enjoy other cooking shows with engaging hosts, like Brad from Bon Appetit. I don't want stress with my cooking, thanks.
Cooking to be the best not just faster......time limits impede good cooking.
@@unclebuck1735 Maybe Depends on the situation....sometime when your under stress your best comes out!
Completely agree with you, Colin. Ive been watching cooking programs since I was a little kid sat in front of the television watching PBS. Competition shows ruined the Food Network for me.
This is why I don't watch Food Network anymore. It's all game shows.
working in a professional kitchen and 'cooking" have very little if anything in common other than they both involve food.
If I ever get a chance to meet Emeril, I would thank him for sparking my passion for cooking. I now do it for a living and have never been happier.
Emeril has been through hell. Because he is an artist, some of his losses have emotionally taken a toll on him. Kudos to him, his joint ventures with Martha Stewart and others for creating great charitable entities. Who doesn't love Emeril?
Emeril was the man .. I stopped watching the food network after he disappeared
Swear
So did I.
I watched a lot less since I was a big fan of good eats. Emeril got me into cooking as a kid.
I still make many things I learned during the BAM time!
Legasse represented the old "educational" food media era. The Reality TV era might have boosted ratings a little bit, but it did not make America any better in the kitchen, per se. UA-cam kitchen warriors are much more worth your viewing time than the Food Network nowadays.
Broke my heart when his show went off air. Hes the best chef of all time.
He was and is the best chef ever.and he shows you exactly how to prepare. Everything very easily
EMERIL LIVE was my of his shows. Love his Personality, Food, and his Kindness towards those in need. :)
Emeril will always be my favorite chef.
I also liked New Orleans Cajun Justin Wilson!
I hated it when Food Network switched to all the competition shows and stopped watching.
Yep. Me too.
Me three. Its like when MTV stopped airing music and switched to reality TV for ratings. They both ruined their brand.
Me Four. Can't stand the self-serving network B.S.
I used to watch a lot, I enjoy the slower recipe style shows that used to be on there. Jamie Oliver stuff is now online, as is Alton Brown and others, no reason to watch food network anymore. I am not a fan of the competition stuff really. Great British Bake-off though is a lot fun I have to admit.
Yep they lost me when their format became game shows and silly competitions. No mas for me por favor.
The crazy thing is when I was a young kid, I watched Emeril Live . I never watched a cooking show before that at all, and being a kid you'd think you would just want to watch cartoons. But this man, this guy, he helped me develop a love for food and creation. It got me in the kitchen, experimenting and creating dishes that probably weren't that good in hindsight. But it still got me in the kitchen, and through out that time, I've gotten much better. So thank you for inspiring someone, and helping them find a passion. Cheers Emeril. I now cook on my youtube channel and hopefully anyone who visits also gets inspired and enjoys my content :)
Even with all the personal lost and devastation during hurricane Katrina, Emeril came forward to help out with all the service personal in the restaurant industry in New Orleans. For this alone, I will support Emeril, even if he serves me only can tuna!
The phony fake Fook Network was the main reason that I cancelled cable forever, I wanted cooking shows like Emeril, not phony competition cooking shows! Btw, Emeril, you ROCK!
I dumped cable too. You can find legit cooking shows on PBS
Emeril Live was the best FN show it ever had!
Oh you mean b. Flay's shenanigans don't do it for you? Me either.
Along with Gordon Ramsey and Bobby Flay, Emeril was the the first guy that motivated me to start cooking, learning about the culinary arts which in turn has helped me in meal prepping and nutrition.
I still can't believe hes not still cooking on tv. He is the greatest in my book
Too expensive
The video left me with the impression that he priced himself out of the marketplace. As his salary increased, the net profit of the producers/network diminished. He also suffered from over-exposure.
I love him i would have watched him cooking till he was old and gray.
I always liked his shows. I don’t care for the programming on food network now.
I love that Emeril stood his ground and refused to do the competition shows… he’s a man of integrity
Emeril is the Greatest. BAM!!!!
He was so fun to watch.
Bless your heart, Mr. Lagasse. There is nothing more refreshing than to hear a rich person giving back to less fortunate children. Much respect to you.
I still regularly rewatch old episodes of Emeril, there's a nice relaxing yet productive vibe about the whole show, all positivity and personality
Emeril is a beautiful man. Food network done goofed hard.
Love Martha's attitude! Emiril's too. I don't care for competition shows. Love actual cooking. Unlike the general public, apparently.
Foodnetwork is awful. So much great stuff on UA-cam.
Loved Julia Child's back in the day, showing my age there. Real cooks, not the actors that they seem to have today. Miss those cooks where they really cooked and showed you how they did it so you do it too.
@@andrewaway I like the shows on Create. No glitz, just cooking.
@@andrewaway are they still on, the deserve bankruptcy in my opinion!
Hate that Food Network bowed to the lowest common denominator, and changed to a reality cooking contest format. The only people who watch now are the Kardashian, Jersey Shore, and Real Housewives crowd. They watch while eating their big macs and fries.
Food Network sucks so badly now, it’s all trashy reality TV, heavily edited, choreographed “competitions” with artificial “suspense,” and ridiculous shit like food trucks that cut a donut in two and put a burger in the middle and then deep fry it.
I totally agree... I very rarely watch it now...
You are absolutely right....its pathetic...
Agreed...and I love your channel dude...been subbed for years now. Maybe because I also LOVE knives! I actually bought the Wild Pig Hunter knife after your review!
@@UR2Compliant Thanks for the support, bro!
Too Many Competition Shows..
I Haven't Watched So Much.. Maybe Because Of Politics.. While Biden Is There Probably Will Watch More Cooking?. 😂
I Did Enjoy SuperBowl Cooking Day.. 👍
I Couldn't Decide What I Wanted To Fix.. 🏈🍻
Emiril live could be still on and running new episodes today. He was and is amazing. He has personality for miles
Emeril was (still is) one of my favorite tv chefs. I stopped watching the Food Network when the cooking competition shows took over. I love watching cooking shows. I watch them as much for the food as the chefs and their guests. It's for me time well spent when I need to escape.
Serious love to Emeril.Inspired so many to cook, even has great kids cookbooks.
Enjoyed great meals at a few of his restaurants too. Nothing but positivity from that guy.
Same.. we have 2 of his restaurants here in Vegas. Awesome stuff.
He's the reason I wanted to be chef. Seeing him as a kid , I always thought he was so cool.
I still watch Emeril on a tv station called Dabl, they're reruns, but that's ok, recipes are still good, and it reminds me of my mom, she loved that man.
I watch those shows too. Watching the Essence now. So glad Dabl brought those and Emeril Live.
@@shortblockflexinit5219 Me too. It's great because I thought we would never see them again. Way to go DABL TV!
Love this guy. The only reason I watched food network. Bam bam
watching emeril live on food network was a daily routine for me...between him and alton brown's good eats, i learned a lot about cooking techniques, flavor combinations, and different foods i'd never tried before...then suddenly, everything became all about bobby flay and the rip off "american" iron chef...without emeril, food network would certainly not have grown the way it did, he deserved to still be featured there...
I agree, it went down hill fast, stopped watching. Loved Sarah moulton.
I absolutely love Emeril!! He is always going to be a favorite! BAM!
I got to meet Emeril at a book signing in Illinois, he stopped along the very long customer line , talked to me and made me feel like I was the only person there, I watched him do that to several other people, kindness personified. I have nothing but good things to say about Emeril and nothing but scathing disdain for Food Network.......
snipe...2 years later. i quit watching f. n. when they started bringing in wanna be chefs, washed up actors & religion into their cooking shows. haven't watched it since but i get to watch emeril everyday with direct tv...emeril was real and what a chef!!
Bring his show back.
When FN started dumping the cooking shows and turning to game shows I pretty much quit watching FN.
True Story
I like Emeril and no matter how some people give him negative reviews he is still a top chef in my opinion. Martha Stewart is also one of my favorites.
He produced great television and a fun, welcoming show for all
Emeril was a hero for his cooks and staff after Hurricane Katrina. He truly cares about food and his people.
While in New Orleans 10-12 years ago, I went to a culinary shop associated with an Emeril restaurant. While speaking with the workers in the shop, they said EXACTLY the opposite. They all said, "he never comes here. He doesn't care about us". I honestly wonder which is the real Emeril.
Emeril Lagasse is still my favorite chef. Food Network needs him back.
I'm sorry shelly they are not going to get Emeril back on the show and they already moved on to a younger market on food network
Credit to Emeril for sticking to his guns until the end.
" Lagasse is an excellent culinary artist he's worth every penny he's paid for his work on TV, Cable, or Satellite TV.,"
Emril and Alton Brown taught me to cook.
Amen sister!
@@shakingbones1768 I wish he was on for an hour instead of a half hour. So informative.
Ditto!
Emeril was and still is my favorite celebrity chef ever! He made you want to jump in there and cook up fun stuff. Before he left, I was a Food Channel junkie. Now, I hardly watch the Food Channel at all. Iron Chef (was fun). Iron Chef America wasn't. Today's competition formats are ok, but nothing close to what Emeril Life was! Not even close!
I liked watching this guy and Alton Brown. Food is supposed to be fun and educational. Not stressful and seen as a chore.
He does a really good job of hiring talent in NO to actually move up in the restaurants industry and not just bus tables all their lives.
Really do miss Emeril, a real great personality and is a living legend and resides there with Justin Wilson and Julia Childs to mention a couple.
I never watched him that much but his line "BAM!!!" is what I remember him for.
Reality TV / Competition Food shows were the worst thing to happen to Food media.
And to media in general
they are too emotionally driven which gets predictable
In all honesty, the best Chef knife I have ever had is one of Emeril's, which was purchased 25 years ago. Anyone, and I do mean ANYONE who doubts Emeril didn't put Food Network on the map, (along with Julia Child) is crazy and so is FN. He made them what they are today, and nobody could have done it better.
Emeril was one of the Best Top Chefs ever!!
Emeril is a positive influence in many people's lives. We have been blessed to be part of some of his foundation's events. He is a class act.
Emeril was a fabulous chef and what the Food Network did is disgusting. Today the programming is crap! In fact I had the Food Network removed from my cable. I would have loved to have met the man.
I’m sure he didn’t need the money, anyways. He’s such a talented person!!! Love him!!! He is just amazing!!! Hate those competition shows!!!
Food Network is like MTV-- irrelevant now. Nothing tondo with actual cooking
Great analogy, I'm old enough to remember when MTV actually showed music videos, and Food network actually had regular cooking shows!
So true! So sad as well!
Totally agree with you... more good cooking content on UA-cam now than all of TV. He and Ramsay are where I got my desire to start my channel.
@@Douglas.Kennedy That was a while back....
I loved his shows and I never watch the new competitive shows. He is a great cook.
Cant argue with ratings, but 2007 is exactly when I lost interest in FN. Entertainment is always necessary, but cooking shows are eductational as a primary function. Competition shows do nothing to teach unless youre going to cook with sea urchin and candy canes. Bring back entertaining, And educational, cooking shows. 🤷♂️ I'll be over here watching 30 year old Jacques Pepin reruns, that guy has more charm than half of cable combined.
The old Julia Child shows....!! I always learn something amazing from them, God bless her.
Same here, once fn switched away from actual cooking, i switched to the cooking channel...competition shows dont interest me.
Well said. Competition shows and the like ruined MTV, regular TV etc.
Folks, don't give cable tv another thought! Let all the crappy networks die their slow death. Over here on UA-cam you can find most of the great old shows, and there are literally DOZENS of talented, motivated, entertaining, and educational cooks! Forget the networks. They screwed us in return for garbage and flash...so I say let 'em die. I'm gonna watch some Cowboy Kent Rollins right now. Heck, he beat Bobby Flay head to head to kickstart his career. Check him out. And the BBQ Pit Boys. And Sam the Cooking Guy. And Smokin' and Grillin' wit AB. And Charlie Andrews. Need more? I know dozens! They'll expand your cooking WAY better than anything on network tv.
@@GarciaDF123 so true, and that's the main reason that I got rid of cable....now I watch what I want on You tube, and other formats.
Emeril Lagasse. The Two Hot Tamales Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Fenigar along with The Great Chefs series have always been my favorite
Loved "The Great Chefs of..." I also loved the narrator's voice on those shows.
Anyone out there remember Graham Kerr - the Galloping Gourmet? He was my favorite.
Oh Heck yes!!! I've bought a metal pastry cutter/food scraper. It's 6" wide and has a curled side to it. It works GREAT! I miss his original show when he jumped over the back of the couch with a glass of wine in his hand. Never spilled a drop either! LOL
@@253tubbs That's because he was usually too drunk to care, but he made his best dishes when he was sauced. 🤣😁🤗
@@Tomatohater64 I hear you on that Stephen. But...he did cook up some good food and he was fun to watch. Kinda like Emeril..He was the only chef that had a live Band on his show. Now...that was just waaaaay cool!!
@@253tubbs He was a superb chef who had a ton of classic French training. If I remember correctly, many of his dishes involved heavy cream or thick, creamy sauces. He was however, a prodigious tipller; I think the more he drank the better his dishes came out - really!
He was a witty, talented, chef with a fondness for the grape. He wasn't nearly as funny when he sobered up.
Emeril was the MAN!
I wasn't a fan of Emeril, but I watched more Food Network in high school when they said their audience was graying. The competition shows are unfortunate but thank God youtube filled the void with more instructive cooking personalities.
ABSOLUTELY! I'd rather watch some unknown housewife prepare home cooked meals on UA-cam, than any of those ridiculous cooking game shows on FN. Between UA-cam & PBS I'm set, thanks.
Cooking competition shows are why I mostly stopped watching Food Network. I know I'm not alone. Whoever told them that Emeril was a "losing show" probably also told MTV to stop playing music videos. Bovine scatology.
Well that was unexpectedly depressing.
I just remember Lagasse as a glowing beacon of positivity from my childhood, in particular when I had a lot of events and trauma to deal with in that time, and to be perfectly honest I can't ever really recall a moment I think of as Emril's "Downfall"... I just didn't see him on TV much anymore, I already owned his cookbooks, and I saw he still had brand items on store shelves, so I had just assumed he had retired from the on-camera work and focused on the more managerial side of his business.... I had NO idea that Food Network basically canned him, nor did I know he had to sell the rights to his branding to survive as part of Martha Stewart's media empire...
I mean, the guy is still managing restaurants across the country and he's able to give 500k to charity and relief efforts, so he's doing alright but... had no idea how many financial and emotional struggles this poor, wonderful man had to go through (and still is).... but I guess you can chock that up to how ridiculously well paid his salary has always been.
They didn’t “can” him. They demanded a cut from his restaurants and he walked.
@d nuzzio His contract was up for renewal. FN had a new president who tried to squeeze him. He’s done just fine without them.
@@davidwenner8537 If you recall too that is was in the same few year period about all the educational cooking shows disappeared. Mario Batalli (spelling)was another. Pretty much just competition shows now for me to ignore.
@@kathleennorton6108, cool story but that seems to have little to nothing to do with what was said. You just HAD to inject politics into it.
You stopped watching Food Network because you are a racist. There fixed it for you.
I love Emeril Lagasse. Loved his cooking shows and delicious recipes.
Everyone makes mistakes we are all human.
Im 32 I started watching Emeril when I was 16. I had never seen anyone cook like that before. The passion he had for food. The excitement for Garlic BAM! he is the reason I love cooking 😊
Ahhhh yes.... GARLIC... the miracle ingredient!
I got the perfect dessert after I cooked one of his recipes on a date now she's my wife
YOU'RE SO LUCKY , TEN ,TWELVE , TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW , AT LEAST YOU'LL KNOW WHO TO BLAME!!!!HAHA HAHA
Congrats!!!!! From another A T
Very Nice 👍🏻
Emeril was my idol and brought out my intense interest in cooking. It's a shame that some people have nasty agendas and want to bring him down. I stopped watching Food Network when they came out with all the competition shows.
Emeril is still high up there among chefs.
I’m a chef and part owner of my families restaurant, and it all started for me when I started watching Emeril live as a young teenager.
Bam! I always wondered what happened to him. I use to watch him all the time.
dude, this guy got me into cooking as a kid.
Same! I actually watched him all the time before I even wanted to learn to cook... I just liked the guy.
Don’t know what I missed but I love this guy♥️🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I spoke about Emeril/Commander's Palace with a chef from Christian's who still appeared to love Emeril and credited Emeril with the best environment for creativity, fun, and learning. I have eaten at several of Emeril's restaurants - each time the best. Outside of Universal's gates, extra staff at Emeril's retrieves running, excited, children because the parents might never catch them. I am less interested in the info-mercials recently but Emeril has been a positive force in the country and in my life.
Wow incredible to see how such good people like this guy give a lot to people and our communities.
I want Emeril Laggasse’ show back. Class act show. Real food. Yum
Thank you Mashed for the hard work of your team making informative and thought provoking videos from the food world.
That's why I stopped watching Food Network... they stopped doing what made them, that is cooking shows. I agree that Emeril had to go, because of expenses... but when they got rid of regular cooking shows that I loved, I had no reason to watch Food Network. I still don't watch Food Network today. I want fun, not competition. If I wanted to watch competition, I'd watch SPORTS.
That's how M Tv lost us as viewers too
Competions on TV are not 100% real! I've been in many competions: you have two minutes to work out a plan with your apprentice, and 18 minutes to produce two meals, and its all based on a mystery ingredient....I remember one particular cook-off - the mystery ingredient was M&Ms, but we were able to incorporate this product successfully with filet Mignon, and won the competion!
I've also taught cooking classes for over 25 years, and the whole time I maintained my position as a full time Executive Chef for over 50 years. If you like to compete, competion can be a lot of fun. I've done food commercials, where I didn't get a rehersal, you get one shot and thats it, no retakes, so you better have your plan down or you'll look like a fool.
If your a professional chef working in a club, restaurant, hotel etc. you are automatically in competition with other establishments even if you don't know who they are, believe me their out there and they most likely know who you are! Competion will make you a better culinarian,
Stay Well
Chef P.
why pay to watch them cook plenty utube stuff for free........
Love Emeril, he's such an amazing chef, and baker with a great heart
Mr. Lagasse is one of the ALL time greats when it comes to his cooking and preforming on T.V. ,it's a high stress job that he carries on his shoulders and still behaves like the gentleman and professional that he is. Happy Holidays every one!
Pretty lousy of you guys to trash this great man and chef during the last part of this video... Everyone love Emeril, he has gone through enough...
How is it lousy of them to explain what is public knowledge? He ran a scam that netted him millions, and then he scampered off like a rat... what we're all supposed to just ignore that cause you like him? Give your head a shake snowflake.
@@clayolson1679 The state government was the ones who offered him and that producer that money in the first place, Clay. Meaning, it's on the Government of Florida, not Emeril or his producer when it comes to any crimes from that money they were paid. Board of Tourism is a state entity. So the state is at fault, not them.
No, not everyone, this was basically a feel good video
@@TheCriminalViolin hahahaha pretty sure he was well aware of the scam, which is why he's kept his head down since. Turning a blind eye does not make one unaccountable..
ya that pissed me off too.
No mention of Emeril Green. That show helped me loose weight by learning how to eat healthier.
Those food competition shows are awful. Stopped watching FN after they started showing more of those type of shows. Love EL!
Just like they did with Mario Batali. Michael Chiarelli. Tyler Florence kat Kora
Thank you Emeril for all the great meals that you've made and all the donations you have made for everybody and have a Merry Christmas
We ate at his restaurant NOLA in New Orleans many years back. Food,service,and presentation was stellar.
My Wife kind of wanted me to take her there. I was somewhat indifferent. But it was extremely good in my opinion.
I really enjoyed it because I’m not a big “foodie”.
I stopped watching Food Network when it became evident that competition game shows were going to become their MO. Same with HGTV, when it predominantly turn to housing renovations from how to do arts and crafts shows.
I love Emeril. The video is probably good (I only got to the first ad.) but the ads make it not worth sitting through.
I still love watching Emril Live on youtube. His shows give me great comfort. Great memories. 💓
Emeril was the catalyst for the Foodie Movement...Bam!
Lagassee is going to have a restaurant onboard the new upcoming Mardi Gras cruise ship from Carnival
Enjoyed this youtube. Whenever I need a laugh from Emeril, I watch: "the Muppets' Swedish Chef with Emeril". A Must Watch for everyone!
I have been to Emeril's in Atlanta and the food was so good !! The restaurant is beautiful too .
Emerill ‘s Show was must watch TV for me!
Competition shows destroyed TV across the board. I miss a good tv show that isnt based on some over dramatic competition
I hate it, that's why a rarely watch American TV these days. It's either ridiculous competition, or some sort of artificial deadline they set so they can "race the clock".
When they started catering to the people who were raised on MTV & Married With Children they lost me as a viewer. I left & never returned.
I still have some of his products and love them. They are great. I think his pasta sauce is the best.
Emeril ‘s tv shows made me happy I really hate to cook but l found myself smiling because he made me feel inspired to love and be passionate about what mattered to me. Emeril involved his audience and seemed kind and sincere and genuine person.
Emeril was wonderful, I never missed an episode, it lead me to where I am today cooking & sharing.
