I used to watch him several times per week but now can't stand to look at him.
He's on too much plus he's on QVC, Home Shopping and has a hundred products in all the stores now.
It was the same with Paula Dean but now I'm getting tired of seeing her as well !
Emeril is cool, but when I see him these days he seems distracted and unlike his old self. It's just a bit forced.
He was king of Food Network for a while and even had his own sitcom for a couple of weeks. Of course cooler heads should have prevailed and he shouldn't have been put in that position. He strikes me as anxious to regain his 'King' status but unsure how to do it. Rachel Ray is the new Queen, and until she gets knocked off, there's no vacancy at the top.
I like Emeril though. I hope he gets that 'edge' back.
