Freeper Kitchen: All I Need to Know I Learned From Emeril

[HungarianGypsy]

Yesterday I watched Food TV. Emeril had the winners of his Italian cuisine contest on. Wow! There were some yummy dishes on there. One I need to make next week is a dish called Chicken Meatball Soup. Wine lovers will love it because you can use wine liberally in this dish.

There is a newsletter I would like to recommend. I have subscribed to it for years. It's called Real Food for Real People. You can take a look at the site for it at http://www.realfood4realpeople.com

Thanks for the post! I'll go to FoodTV and look for the recipes. We used to watch Emeril all the time, when we had cable.

Emeril is hard to take. He talks like everyone in the world is 11 years old and says the same thing over and over till you want to throw something at the TV. I used to watch till the commercials took over the programming.

For my money, you just can't beat Alton Brown and "Good Eats".

 

Hey, and just for what it's worth, everyone know that Mark Summers guy, the host of Unwrapped?  Well, a bigger liberal d-bag you'll never find.  Called up Sean Hannity a couple of years ago and sounded like Al Franken.

Alton Brown, Paula Deen and Giadda the skinny Italian have better recipes..Emeril is entertaining, and shows a lot of the prep work. Watch the Iron Chef (Japanes) for REAL entertainment.

The gf and I just got back from New Orleans, where we dined several times at Emerils NOLA. What a treat, all the food is fantastic, the service is great.

What?  You mean like "Bam" or "Smell-o-vision", or "I don't know where you get your beef/pork/fish, but where I get mine, it's not seasoned."  Oh, that stuff just NEVER gets old.  When he puts garlic in something, and the audience goes wild, that's a real show stopper.

Summers was auditioning for a gig. He is a lib, but nowhere as nasty as Franken.

[Tax-chick]

We loved Iron Chef, too. Maybe they'll have episodes on DVD some day :-).

I love watching Emeril. Once he took a thick pork chop, slit it, stuffed it with sausage, and then tied the bundle up with bacon. Take that, health nazis!

We always go to his restaurant at Universal Studios in Orlando when we are in that area. Once this fat couple were at the next table and they complained about everything. Meanwhile, we were sitting there having food-gasms. We usually don't need to eat for about 36 hours after a visit to Emeril's.

You can't cook like them unless you are willing to use the innards in the sauce.
Japanese will eat anything. I think that is the only way to survive on an island. The difference is that Japanese food is good.

[Tax-chick]

"The Japanese would eat it!" is a joke in our family. It possible that octopus-suction-cups are delicious, but I'm never going to test the question if I know what I'm doing!

Mmmmm.... Giada De Laurentiis, the tastiest dish on Television.

FOOD PING
Freepmail me with future topic ideas or if you want on/off the Freeper Kitchen ping list.

Maybe that's why my kids like watching Emeril so much. :-) The one thing that does annoy me is that sqeaky humming he does.

[kevkrom]

everyone know that Mark Summers guy, the host of Unwrapped?

Second only to that Australian guy (who's more of a producer than on-air these days) for most annoying on Food TV. Worst thing is that the host of "The Secret Life Of..." sounds like a Summers wanna-be. Yuck.

[HungarianGypsy]

I remember that call on Hannity's show. I still really like watching Unwrapped. Another of my children's favorite shows. Sunday afternoons seem to go between Food Network and the History Channel.

Unwrapped. Another of my children's favorite shows.

 

It does have an odd appeal to kids doesn't it?  My 4 Y.O. son LOVES that show, even though I tell him what a jerk Summers is.  It's really not cooking but manufacturing food.

I LOVE Alton Brown. Sorta like a Masters Class in Food Science and History with a few good recipes thrown in. I never miss his show.

I call "Good Eats" Julia Child meets Mr. Wizard with a dash of Popular Mechanics.
