You left out the divorce (maybe more than one), where he lost a lot of his money. Also, hurricanes in Louisiana & flooding destroyed a lot of restaurants. He did the right thing by taking care of his workers, getting them new jobs or sacrificing his own money to make sure they get paid - even if he wasn't.

[@zodimusrex8160]

Thank you, I felt like there should've been more to his story

[@chucktheekid6367]

I worked for him for a couple of years. I reckon it also now has a lot to do with health and spending time with his family. He’s slowed down some but still has 7 or 8 restaurants across the country. He’s doing more than okay!

[@michaelclatecki8157]

I miss those time.. food network was good in the 90s..

[@ilovebabyyoda712]

Yes it was, actually cooking, and not many competitions, like their are now

[@owenchang2290]

One of my favs during that era was the show Taste with David Rosengarten.

[@ArmenChakmakian]

[@DTWMTX]

He was at Borders books in Dearborn, MI in early 2000's for a book signing. It needed at 9pm. They put a police officer at the back of the line & he stayed til like 11pm to sign everyones book. No one does that anymore.

[@ramencurry6672]

He’s a great guy but his dishes border on exaggerated BS and unnecessary ingredients despite some good stuff

[@djquinn11]

My Farmington Hills school buddy became a chef and worked for him at Commander’s Palace in NO. Apparently he is a really, really good guy. BTW, I still have a Borders in my city of Northville but I sure do miss the old days of spending hours shopping and browsing in bookstores

[@lanelowther7716]

Super nice guy, Emeril. Back in my bartending days bout 20 yrs ago, I waited on him and his family in a small restaurant I worked at in Gulfport, MS. Great guy! I wish him the best!

And Martha sold her own brand along with Emeril brand for..... $175 million!! BAM!!

[@mstraction]

when Martha had her IPO she was worth over a billion dollars...she didn't know how to quit...her company lost a lot of value...prison didn't help...sold her company for a fraction of what it originally valued at

[@e.dennisvanrumund4046]

Attended Chef School at the same time as him. He had a great run and has a lot of talent. We are of the old guard. Wishing him the best😊

[@captaincarl8230]

I went to the same college (Johnson & Wales) as Emeril. He was in the culinary arts side, and I was in the business side. He graduated a year before I did.

[@GLORIA-pl1vf]

Unlike a lot of chef's that were on his food was good.

[@mikedub628]

Emeri live was my favorite show back in the days

[@winning3329]

Wish he put out a CD box set, i would totally buy it.

[@bliggs1]

I used to watch Emeril live all the time. Loved the show as it had both food and music and was a lot of fun to watch while learning to cook some amazing dishes.

[@neilyaremchuk6798]

He achieved something in the food industry that few ever will. Good on him. He was able to secure something for him and his family.

[@stevenalvarez3074]

Explain? What did he achieve? Not being mean, I like Emril. Just curios what you mean…

[@TheFallibleWarrior]

Fame. Multigenerational Money. Legacy.

[@gregnewman2512]

Did you ever see WHAT HE DID To HIS FAMILY? Check out his betrayal of his family, its gotta be out there on google.

[@larrydanadavid2435]

@@stevenalvarez3074Emeril continued to teach people about Cajun and Creole cuisine. He took cooking television shows to whole new level. Not like TikTok cooking shorts. Which are edited like Requiem for a Dream.

Thank you, Emeril. Stay blessed,

[@Zero-hl2zy]

He was such joy to watch Bam ❤

[@laurabrown8886]

I loved his shows. Even made one of his recipes once. Don't remember what it was now, but I do remember it was kicked up a notch❤😊

[@tsukie11]

He was always a kind man, that’s what I remember not so much his food but his kindness and happiness!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@patbarteau6873]

Still love seeing him on tv shows once in awhile. All the other chefs on tv pale in comparison to him. I’m glad he’s happy where he is in his life. He has inspired me more in my cooking than anyone else!

[@ericroberts196]

He was the first TV Chef who: 1. Was entertaining and endearing. 2.SEASONED his food like my people do! 3. Had a live band as part of his show! I have 3 of his cookbooks. Best gifts ever!

[@Charlie_The_Giant_Gourami]

Emeril was amazing but there were a few who came before him who were entertaining and endearing like Pasquale Carpino, Martin Yan, Stephen Yan and Justin Wilson.

[@nancycarey6617]

Emeril is still a delight to watch. I've learned so much from him about cooking.

[@tammyporte755]

I used to love watching his shows. Now that I live in Louisiana, I want to go to Meril in New Orleans. The only one he has left in New Orleans.

[@KevinMphotography]

It’s really good

[@rosemaryrouxneworleans6899]

Emeril's is being remodeled and reopened. Also he has a new place opening in the casino.

[@thenderson5509]

Back when there was cooking on the food network.

[@carlbowles1808]

I remember Emeril from the old days he was fresh and exciting. I still resonate with the Emeril Lagasse "bam "

[@m.theresa1385]

Loved his shows back in the day. The highlights of a family trip the New Orleans before the flood was dining in Emeril’s restaurants. We made reservations several weeks in advance. Great food! It was a memorable trip. So Sad how much had changed when next we visited.

[@Watchingchap]

Hopefully he can appear on a show as a guest chef every once in awhile. Really love his style.

[@Steve-jo9cl]

He had a great run. Respect 🫡

[@sonyafox3271]

He had been on tv doing a show out of Florida on the cooking show and, info- Mericals and, he’s made guest appearances on different shows! So,he hasn’t exactly disappeared! He’s getting older so, also as a celebrity chef he has a overwhelming schedule and, yet just because, he’s not out there in the public all the time people are ready to say he’s all of a sudden disappeared! Wtf? Course, as chefs get older and, things slowdown, they spend a little more time at home with their families, that isn’t a crime, especially as busy as they are. I was watching a bunch of cooking shows back at that time when, he was doing his Live Show, he has always been one of my autistic son’s heroes and, one thing he said he wanted to be other than being a firefighter he wanted to was a chef like Emeril L. And, when, he always came on tv, my son wouldn’t take his eyes of the television. Every time he said, Bam, my son would do it the same way and then, he’d have a good laugh!Emeril has been such a inspiration to younger kids, I just don’t think he realizes it, because, he’s just such a humble person!

[@ingridmccall9363]

I miss you Emeril ❤

[@jamesmurphy1480]

I met him at 94 in Phoenix at a culinary competition, and he was the nicest man I’ve ever met easy to talk to. You could ask him any question he didn’t care he didn’t care he would answer you.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

But did he care?

[@FuckYourPage]

I'm 37 and still watch emerald on the infomercial. He hold a special place near and dear to my childhood 😢

[@donsolos]

The guy behind him who created the superstar chef was named shep Gordon and he is a legendary manager. You can see a documentary about the guy called supermensch the legend of shep Gordon. It's awesome

[@lb6135]

Indeed! Supermensch is a great book too. Shep basically created the concept of the celebrity chef and has been Alice Cooper's manager for 50 years. Has a ton of other famous clients too.

[@TrunkyDunks]

I only went to Nola once, but it was delicious. Very spendy, but a great experience. Hes a real chef so, glad he made it as far as he did

[@LoriVFenske]

I’d hardly call retiring after selling your brand/name to Martha Stewart’s company ‘his demise’. He’s 63 years old and still has five restaurants. More importantly he’s a wonderful human being. Rare for a celebrity. I met him at an event we hosted for one of his cook book launches in Seattle. He was a big star in 2000 yet he was the kindest, warmest person. He spoke to everyone who approached him and stayed until the end. I wish he and his family all the best.

[@johndale8614]

He's a great chef! Always will be! And the fact he worried about his workers unlike some of those food network stars says a ton! Keep it going Emirel! Bam!!

[@coldcountess]

I always loved Emeril Lagasse !! He made Cajun style food look absolutely delish !!

[@feistygrandma2636]

He still is I adore Emeril lagasse he will and is the best of the best period ⭐ he knows how to cook for real not for play play,🌍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👍

[@gamerfourlife64]

I loved this mans energy on tv i miss him

[@lb6135]

A great working chef too, something most people don't realize. He took the helm of the legendary New Orleans restaurant Commander's Palace, when another iconic chef Paul Prudhomme left to open his own restaurant, K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen. That was a mere four years after Emeril graduated from culinary school!!!

[@jamesspalten5977]

[@nightengale2123]

Emeril was originally from the same city as my husband Fall River, MA. My late uncle was a baking instructor at JWU in Providence, R.I. and had Emeril as a student. Miss the Food Network days when Emeril was a big part of it.

[@jujub4553]

His son is taking over everything and starting to emerge as the new fave and successor. His son is also a hottie, so that’ll help

He's the only TV chef that has his own catch phrase. Lol

[@nataliyavarhaftig1126]

He is a very talented cook, and I was admired his respect to his mom who was on his show often and I think stepfather too, he was mentioned every time that he learned how to cook from his mom ❤

[@karolmiller6984]

Thank you Emeril.

[@wrestlingraiderfan130]

Emeril is a legend, he was huge back in the day. Bam!

I bought his air fryer during the pandemic and I’m glad I did. 12 in 1 air fryer plus crockpot, steamer, and many other things. Yes I spent $350 for it but it was worth it

[@SpLiC3]

Now i know where they got the inspiration for the chef in Futurama.

[@mescko]

While I love cooking, I never really watched his show, I did receive an Emeril apron for a present and is one of the favorites in my collection.

[@Noahwillwalk]

At least Futurama immortalized him with Elzar. I'm really happy people made the right decision during the right time.

[@hemispace641]

I'm grateful to Emeril for really getting me started on trying to cook more than hot dogs and hard boiled eggs. For me, it started with that Chicken Parm recipe... I also recall numerous times watching his show with my Mom just enjoying watching his dishes and listening to him just be Emeril...

[@DTWMTX]

Emeril & Alton Brown encouraged me to cook. Don't forget "I don't know where you get your water, but mine doesn't come seasoned" or " Now we'll add 87 cloves of garlic!"... & the frozen treats!!!!

[@DarkeSkye]

I always loved watching him. I hope he is having a comfortable retirement if he manages his money right.

I always think of Tony Saprano when I watch him.. always gave me a laugh.

He does those late night infomercials I always leave the tv on when I check into my hotel rooms every night. It’s an infomercial or a show about aliens or haunted houses I fall asleep too lol.

Emeril is a classic case of too much exposure in too little time. It was like every other show on Food Network was an Emeril show. I was shocked to learn he's only 63 years old (as of July 2023). His latest appearances hawking his cookware he looks like he's 70.
