How do you feel about Emeril Lagasse and his cooking?
Emeril John Lagasse (born October 15, 1959) is an American celebrity chef, restaurateur, television personality, and cookbook author. A regional James Beard Award winner, he is perhaps most notable for his Food Network shows Emeril Live and Essence of Emeril as well as catchphrases such as “Kick it up a notch!” and “BAM!” He is a 1978 graduate of Johnson & Wales University’s College of Culinary Arts. The “Emeril Empire” of media, products and restaurants generates an estimated USD$150 million annually in revenue. Emeril Lagasse is taking his healthy approach to cuisine on the road to military bases, to rural Virginia for some “down home” cooking and to the wine mecca of Napa Valley in California. The celebrity chef hosts the TV series “Emeril Green” on Planet Green, which tapes mainly at Whole Foods Market locations. But in four special episodes that will be televised beginning June 29, Lagasse is visiting different locations for a change of pace. Lagasse meets with military personnel
