I Had A Fierce Curiosity About This

I Try To Teach My Son About Sanitation, Especially When Handling Foods Like Chicken That Could Be Dangerous. I Remind Him To Wash His Hands All The Time. When My Son Cooks With Me, He Stands On A Step Stool So He Can Reach The Stove. I Teach Him About Safety And Fire.

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.

My Food Is Louisiana, New Orleans-based, Well-seasoned, Rustic. I Think It's Pretty Unique Because Of My Background Being Influenced By My Mom, Portuguese And French Canadian. There's A Lot Going On There.

I Love To Cook; That's My Passion.

My Office In New York Is Overflowing With All Kinds Of Cookbooks, And In New Orleans We Have A Huge Culinary Library. So Yeah, I Guess I'm A Little Bit Obsessed.
