The reason is that current "big businesses" are deathly afraid of small businesses. Thirty years ago, Microsoft, Apple, and a bunch of other companies were "small businesses".
The Elite "Big Business" model, where the CEO positions seem to get filled with an endless parade of overpaid idiots, needs to eliminate competition from rapidly growing startups with brilliant founders.
Bingo!
I wouldn’t say they were mediocre, myself.
The service, wait staff scripting and decore were very good and made “the experience”.
I too think when measured up against other exclusive restaurants his are easy, fun and comfortable.
The food is worth the fare but, I can think of other restaurants I’d me more satisfied with.
Am I a snob? LOL
Yes, I believe you are correct but, his storyline, as a chef, is New Orleans.
I’d go back to Delmonico if my friends wanted but, I love places like Picasso and that restaurant at “The Wynne”.
Spectacular
What did he expect? He didn't listen to the English and Canadian Doctors that said don't do it? He can't see what Obama's H20 policies in California and the Dollar are doing to the cost of all meats? Shame on him, and those 2 examples are just a start.
After Obamacare passed, a good friend and I were @ a Greek "Coni-Island" in Michigan. My friend had talked to the owner before but I was their so he brought it up again. He was to sell 1 or 2 of the franchises He Built or would close, and drop the total payroll to 49
He said something to the effect, I worked to hard to labor for this man's wishes. He was not going to play that game.
Maybe if Emeril had a little more of this Galtian Spirit of this Coni Owner and did his Due Diligence he never would have voted for Lear Deeder in the first place, and stuck us all with this it looks like chicken liver sandwich he has turned our beloved country into.
Yeah that was more or less a rhetorical question, I figured he was an Obamanaut.
Next time in Vegas try Table 9, It’s an Emeril restaurant inside the Venetian on the Wynn side if you catch my drift.
My wife and I had spectacular food and the best service I have ever had (except for the Greycliff in Nassau, Bahamas).
With food and drinks it was less than $300.00.
This is what they want, they want the middle class to get back in the ghetto, the elites have basically wanted this since we got out of the ghetto, in oh, I don’t really know when, maybe about 1200 AD.
So, this desire predates liberalism, communism, etc.
The rich would prefer to share the planet with the poor, just the poor, whom they can easily dominate (and even kill, per Ruth Bader Ginsburg, et al, et multi al.).
It’s those “strivers” who really get on their nerves.
then I hope and pray he goes out of business, that he is audited and they take every clove of garlic he has
“...he’s originally a boston yankee.”
He’s of Portugese descent, I think, so that would make him a Boston Ethnic, are those people properly classed as Yankees? I don’t think so.
My family is Massachusetts Irish-American, but I know gosh darn well it’s the Irish who ruined Massachusetts by voting dem, even though the dems went out of their way to show the Irish in Beantown just how much contempt they had for them.
Perfect!
I dated his present wife while we were both at Ole Miss. Alden likes the finer things so he best keep raking it in.
“Pretty soon, they’re going to wipe a lot of the middle restaurateurs and restaurant cooks. [...] If it continues, then watch: you’re going to have high-end, and you’re going to have fast food, and you’re going to have chain restaurants.””
I was talking to the owner of a fast-food franchise here and he was saying he could hardly afford to do business, with all the government regulations and inspections. So we may not even have the lower end choices.

“A century ago the bulk of our population earned their living as small businessmen (farmers, shopkeepers, blacksmiths, etc.). They knew and understood how free enterprise works.”
And it was that entrepreneurial spirit that led to the innovations that created our way of life today. Since that freedom is eroded now, it’s downhill from here.
Well, now we understand how all restaurants became Taco Bell in the movie Demolition Man.
There are a lot of places like that. You go there once, mostly for the location, and hope you get a good meal. You’ll probably get a good one, but nothing that you recall for years later...those are generally at unexpected strange places in weird locations...so it’s the overall experience you’re paying for. And the wine list is usually good, if overpriced.
And I think that’s what he was saying. Except for these mega-experience restaurants and a few ultra-chic, ultra-expensive tiny ones, you’re going to see the average good restaurateur being driven into the ground by Obama’s policies. And start ups? Forget it, unless you have a super-backer. So the only other step will be the chains and fast food. They have their place, and I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with having them. However, even they are going to be subject to pressure.
This is not only in terms of taxes, but in terms of menu and supplier control, personnel costs and a host of other things that the federal government under Obama has gotten its snout into.
Good for Emeril. He’s from Fall River, Massachusetts. I love Portuguese food.
Then the LIB clown deserves whatever he gets.
