In The Restaurant It's Much More Serious.

I Think Many Cooks Are Afraid Of Undercooked Meats. A Good Thermometer Is A Cook's Best Friend.

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.

Music Is One Of Those Things That Is Constantly Going In My Head All The Time. It's Sort Of Like The Evolution And Creation Of Doing Food, Or My Philosophy About Wine. It's Always Beating In My Head, So It Keeps The Spirit Moving.

I Don't Limit Myself.

I Guess I Feel That I Was Following My Instincts, And At The Same Time Being Guided By The Best. I Became Totally Intrigued With Louisiana - The People, The Food. It Is A Part Of My Life. Everything That Has Happened For Me Since Moving Here Has Just Been Icing On The Cake.
