Life just doesn't hand you things. You have to get out there and make things happen. that's the exciting part.
From Emeril Lagasse
Mom ran the house, so we grew up Portuguese.
I had these recipes that say do this, do that. Who MAKES these rules?
If somebody has a chance to put my food in their mouth, that tells the story.
We began building this incredible new foundation in this restaurant, and that's what began giving me the left-hand side of tradition and the right-hand side, my new palate.
The world has changed, and it's almost been 11 years. I have 975 employees. I have six restaurants. We haven't opened any new ones in almost three years.
I'm pretty actively involved with the military because I think they're incredible human beings. If I can give back to them for what they're doing for us, it's a good thing. And I think to have happy soldiers, you need to feed them well.
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.
We're setting up an urban farm for kids on more than 20 acres in New Orleans. We want to make this a world-class educational center for the community.
We're probably close to reaching 2,000 shows, which is more than Julia Child and Jacques Pepin together.
