I have known so many people who decided to spice up their culinary skills because of Emeril. For the cajun/creole food bug that I am experiencing is partly do to licking my lips at the regional dishes he prepares. Making a pot of red beans right now... one day they will be as good as Popeye's... ----------------------------- reply separator ------------------------------ I second that motion!! and if you are ever in New Orleans looking for an amazing dance show to watch while you eat, ask for seats at the kitchen bar at Emeril's. Just be sure to call at least a week (month??) before hand as they are popular seats. You get to view first hand the organized chaos of a professional kitchen as well as drool over the variety pans just at hand and envy the apparent ease with which these masterpieces go together. But go prepared. Like hise commercial products, his meals is NOT cheap. Be prepared for at least $75 for dinner for 2 with wine and easily upwards of $200 if you go for the Degusation (sp?). I loved it but was eating on an expense account at the time. I don't know if I could afford to repeat it on my nickel. Eat hot! Think hot! Love hot! Doug PS. I don't get foodtv and have never seen his show. what is all this BAM stuff anyway?
