If You Think Big, Then

I Try To Teach My Son About Sanitation, Especially When Handling Foods Like Chicken That Could Be Dangerous. I Remind Him To Wash His Hands All The Time. When My Son Cooks With Me, He Stands On A Step Stool So He Can Reach The Stove. I Teach Him About Safety And Fire.

My Food Network Shows, 'emeril Live' And 'essence Of Emeril,' Are Not In Production Right Now, But I Wouldn't Say That I'm Necessarily Leaving Food Network. I Have A Lot Of Television Still In Me. I Enjoy Teaching People, So It's Just A Matter Of Time Before I Do Something New.

The Premise Of 'the Originals' Are Places That Have Been Open 50, 60, 75, 100 Years Or Longer That Are Still Doing It Right That Maybe A Lot Of People, Particularly The Younger Generations, Have Not Even Thought About.

I Love To Cook; That's My Passion.

I've Always Been Known For Bold Flavors And Rustic Cooking, But There Is Another Side To Me. As You Evolve As A Cook, You Understand Life And How Serious It Is. There Comes A Point Where There's Got To Be A Better Balance.
