Julia Child, both for her devotion to education about cooking and for her occasionally ham-fisted or ungainly bravura when things went wrong or when she felt she needed to push past some sort of difficulty in the kitchen. You couldn't help but love her combination of intelligence, Earhart-esque sense of conquer-the-world adventure, no-nonsense American sensibilities, quirky sense of humor, and even her occasional but lovable stubbornness. Jacques Pepin apparently had his hands full with Julia more than he always felt comfortable with, but Julia's path to TV fame was laid through an educational and 'can do'-at-home approach rather than via beating a path forward through the restaurant food service industry. Jacques is of course a world-class chef, but with a fairly quiet and unassuming manner, and also evident integrity. When I try his cooking techniques and suggestions they WORK. Julia & Jacques still managed to get along publicly in front of the camera and to make us enjoy their camaraderie, even if it was for them at times a bit forced or rehearsed. Other celebrity chefs-I like Emeril for his good-heartedness, Alton Brown for his go-get-'em, oddball sense of humor, Jacques Pepin for his humble integrity, depth of knowledge/skill and very practical devotion to his art, and Rachel Ray for being a 'down home' gal originally from my part of upstate New York and for being 'no-nonsense practical' but still fun-loving all the time. I never warmed up much to Guy Fieri (for reasons I can't pin down); or to Anthony Bourdain (because of his seeming lack of humor); or, in the long run, to Gordon Ramsey (because his driven, overbearing management style is too stressfully like the worst parts of everyday life that one seeks to escape when watching TV). Even so, I can recognize that Gordon is an accomplished, careful, dedicated chef and a no-nonsense businessman who is no one's fool and knows how things must be. Jamie Oliver seems knowledgeable and 'lovable' while I somehow find Bobby Flay irritating and get tired of his 'southwestern take' on WAY too many things. Martin Yan is fun and personable but his schtick gets old pretty quick. Martha Stewart sometimes has useful tips to offer but she strikes me as 'stuck up' somehow. Should celebrity chefs be more about education vs. entertainment? I would say that to succeed on TV, they have the ability to entertain somehow EVEN AS THEY ALSO GENUINELY EDUCATE. I think most people ARE looking for cooking tips to help themselves improve and to give them new ideas, but that the reason they seek out a celebrity chef on TV is also TO ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH SOMEONE THEY CONSIDER A LIKABLE AND FUN FRIEND. In terms of INTERNET 'celebrity' chefs, there are three standout great people who come to my mind: Laura Vitale ("Laura in the Kitchen"), the hilarious Chef John ("Food Wishes"), and Clara Cannucciari ("Great Depression Cooking") All of these folks have succeeded wonderfully because their channels present them with great pacing, and because they are all full of winsome personality, so it's fun to 'spend time' with each of them, although Clara is now deceased.

I used to work at Emeril’s in New Orleans, his first restaurant. I can say that in real life he is a super nice, down to earth guy. He’d drop by the restaurant maybe once a month and every time he was in he would take time to great every single table and thank them for coming to his restaurant and take pictures with anyone who asked. The environment working there was great too, not the super intense cut throat stuff you see about restaurants in the movies. I felt really proud to have the opportunity to work for him.

But it still got me in the kitchen, and through out that time, I've gotten much better. So thank you for inspiring someone, and helping them find a passion. Cheers Emeril.

I just remember Lagasse as a glowing beacon of positivity from my childhood, in particular when I had a lot of events and trauma to deal with in that time, and to be perfectly honest I can't ever really recall a moment I think of as Emril's "Downfall"... I just didn't see him on TV much anymore, I already owned his cookbooks, and I saw he still had brand items on store shelves, so I had just assumed he had retired from the on-camera work and focused on the more managerial side of his business.... I had NO idea that Food Network basically canned him, nor did I know he had to sell the rights to his branding to survive as part of Martha Stewart's media empire... I mean, the guy is still managing restaurants across the country and he's able to give 500k to charity and relief efforts, so he's doing alright but... had no idea how many financial and emotional struggles this poor, wonderful man had to go through (and still is).... but I guess you can chock that up to how ridiculously well paid his salary has always been.

Competions on TV are not 100% real! I've been in many competions: you have two minutes to work out a plan with your apprentice, and 18 minutes to produce two meals, and its all based on a mystery ingredient....I remember one particular cook-off - the mystery ingredient was M&Ms, but we were able to incorporate this product successfully with filet Mignon, and won the competion! I've also taught cooking classes for over 25 years, and the whole time I maintained my position as a full time Executive Chef for over 50 years. If you like to compete, competion can be a lot of fun. I've done food commercials, where I didn't get a rehersal, you get one shot and thats it, no retakes, so you better have your plan down or you'll look like a fool. If your a professional chef working in a club, restaurant, hotel etc. you are automatically in competition with other establishments even if you don't know who they are, believe me their out there and they most likely know who you are!

Oh Heck yes!!! I've bought a metal pastry cutter/food scraper. It's 6" wide and has a curled side to it. It works GREAT! I miss his original show when he jumped over the back of the couch with a glass of wine in his hand. Never spilled a drop either! LOL

@@clayolson1679 The state government was the ones who offered him and that producer that money in the first place, Clay. Meaning, it's on the Government of Florida, not Emeril or his producer when it comes to any crimes from that money they were paid. Board of Tourism is a state entity. So the state is at fault, not them.

I spoke about Emeril/Commander's Palace with a chef from Christian's who still appeared to love Emeril and credited Emeril with the best environment for creativity, fun, and learning. I have eaten at several of Emeril's restaurants - each time the best. Outside of Universal's gates, extra staff at Emeril's retrieves running, excited, children because the parents might never catch them. I am less interested in the info-mercials recently but Emeril has been a positive force in the country and in my life.

Emeril No Matter what ups and downs you had in your career, you will always be the light that took fine dining to the next level. You were the pioneer opened the doors to everyone in the food industry. only down fall is the money hungry evil societies always ruin everything. you made the food network who they are today and never forget it. but like everyone else we get the slap in the face or get forgotten. then when you have fame everyone wants to take it from you.. thank you for everything you did and i hate those stupid compentition shows cause they entail nothing about teaching the food the way you did. most of all the little kids that were in awe on your shows was priceless... thank you EMERIL>>>>>>

I've never really given a damn about pop culture, including when it comes to famous chefs and the like, but, for the short lived time Planet Green existed as a show of Discovery Communications, I found Emeril Green, and I personally LOVED that show. Such a perfect balance of learning, relaxing and fun mixed all into one. Was really sad to see that go. As a result, Emeril is really the only celeb chef I actually remember and care much about. Sure, I know of a handful of others, but, he's always the only one that automatically comes to mind for me, and with actually happiness and a small tidbit of excitement. With the last bit, I find it sad that anyone would actually have their main problem with him, rather than the State of Florida itself, as, obviously, the board of tourism is a state government entity, and they were the ones who reached out with that deal to him and the producer in the first place. So it's on the State's Government there, which of course, has to be the ones to investigate... themselves. Cool. Great. Nifty. We all know how unbiased and honest those scenarios pan out. SIGH.

I know my sentiments echo a large amount of people when we say that the current formula of competition shows is tired, overused and too anxiety driven to be useful. Why do you think The Great British Baking Show is so popular? because its the opposite of the cheesy Americanized shows. I miss Emeril's shows because they were authentic and inspirational; his excitement made me want to cook better food. Thankfully because of his cookbooks, I have.
