I Ended Up Turning Down

My Philosophy From Day One Is That I Can Sleep Better At Night If I Can Improve An Individual's Knowledge About Food And Wine, And Do It On A Daily Basis.

I've Always Been Known For Bold Flavors And Rustic Cooking, But There Is Another Side To Me. As You Evolve As A Cook, You Understand Life And How Serious It Is. There Comes A Point Where There's Got To Be A Better Balance.

I Started Cooking When I Was About 10. I Have Memories Like When I Was 6 Or 7 With My Mom, And When I Was 12 I Started Getting Real Serious About Cooking.

Those Other 10 O'clock Shows That Come On, All You Get From Them Is Headaches And Nightmares When You Go To Bed! At Least We Give You Food, Know What I Mean?

My Food Network Shows, 'emeril Live' And 'essence Of Emeril,' Are Not In Production Right Now, But I Wouldn't Say That I'm Necessarily Leaving Food Network. I Have A Lot Of Television Still In Me. I Enjoy Teaching People, So It's Just A Matter Of Time Before I Do Something New.
