It's Okay To Play With

I'm Not A Tv Guy. I'm A Restaurant Chef And A Businessman.

Food Is Very Representative Of A City's Culture. In Order To Really Get To Know A Place And The People, You've Got To Eat The Food.

I Launched The Emeril Lagasse Foundation To Provide Culinary Training, And Developmental And Educational Programs To Children In The Cities Where My Restaurants Operate. I Think Everyone Has A Responsibility To Give Back To The Community If They Can, And To Help Future Generations Learn New Skills.

I Wouldn't Ask Any Of My Employees To Do Anything I Wouldn't Do. And I Work As Hard, If Not Harder Than The Rest Of The Staff, To Set An Example. I Also Believe In Giving My Employees A Lot Of Room To Be Creative And To Express Themselves.

What I Go For In My Cooking Is Sinful, Bold And Real.
