I use his recipes a lot and they always come out good. Hubby took me to one of his restaurants in New Orleans last summer. One of the others was not open for business yet because of damage from KAtrina, so we went to the newest one called NOLA. Pretty dang good food. It was such a thrill for me. And my husband asked the waiter if Emeril was there so i could meet him. Of course, the answer was "so sorry, he's out of town". But it was great anyway. Actually my hubby got a little drunk and spilled his water on me. The whole restaurant went quiet for a minute. Good thing i was the one facing the wall cuz my face musta been beet red. I was so embarrassed. But we both just cracked up.
How are the prices at NOLA? I'd love to dine at one of his restaurants some day. There is one in Vegas, but can't recall the name.
My oldest daughter and son in law live in NC, and were planning to visit Georgia, and eat at The Lady and Sons. The trip didn't happen, unfortunately. I wanted to know if those 2 hour lines were justified. There's a "chefography" marathon coming up on TVFoodNetwork this Sunday. I'll never make fun of Sandra Lee again.
