[@Ilikeavocados822]

its nice to see Emeril raised a polite, humble young man. Good spirited people.

This is what Hodinkee needs to be about. Fantastic job by Cole Pennington

[@LukeLacetera]

Would love to see Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. All have sported many great watches along their journeys across the globe. Jeremys Planet Ocean is a personal fave

[@markgoudsblom]

talking watches with Jezza would be very cool

[@DapperProf]

That's would be absolutely the best ever video

[@ericdhadden]

Agreed on the Planet Ocean! Would love to see one - if not all of them!

[@alexadams1360]

Please make this happen!

[@MiniForklift]

Agreed, Clarkson would be hilarious I bet

[@josephfackel6762]

The coolest thing about Emeril’s watches are they have been worn hard. Great interview as always.

[@rabonour]

Agreed. Given Emeril's reputation for still actually working his restaurant after all these years it shouldn't be surprising, but it is very nice to see.

[@tripreed]

I was thinking the same thing. Loved seeing the scratches and scuffs.

[@DarrenBates]

That's the thing that struck me most. Nice to see dings and scratches from many years of being banged around his kitchens and TV studios.

[@rsb__]

I came here to write this exact comment…

[@grantchallinor5263]

One of the best talking watches episodes for a long time! Being from the UK, and having spent much of the last decade in the extreme eastern part of Europe, I'd never heard of Emeril Lagasse, but what an amazing, passionate, and family-orientated man he is (I've no doubt that he and his son are incredible chefs!) with Cole Pennington being the perfect choice of presenter in this instance.

[@markgoudsblom]

Cole is an absolute champion.

[@paulandersen6868]

Agreed. These are the stories that will get watches going back in the right direction.

[@darryld6578]

In the United States there is a cable Tv called the FOOD NETWORK, Emeril Lagasse became famous by having a few cooking shows on this network in the 80's , 90's and 2000's . Emeril is popular here in the states and we love him, i'm glad you found out about him.

[@grantchallinor5263]

@@darryld6578 Thanks for the info Darryl. I guessed as much from the video. His fame and other abilities aside (no doubt being a great chef and successful restaurateur), he also comes across as a very genuine, humble and decent human being - which counts for even more in my book.

[@seannotaro473]

Emerald has it all. Down to earth, approachable, wealthy, and a beautiful family. Good for him!! Glad to see his son is a reflection of him. And the watches tie it all together.

[@typicaledc]

It's nice to see people getting to live the dream. He earned it!

[@Geor9e]

well said.

[@NeelKhokhaniSoarAviation]

The relationship between the father and son is nothing short of a magical symphony! What a beautiful video! Thank you @hodinkee

[@tricky92x]

When his son said "100 percent" to Cole, I smiled.

[@mikekingsborough1]

I thoroughly enjoy listening to and watching Cole interview others and talk about watches. He's so calm, respectful, and deliberate with every single word while understanding/identifying the intangibles, sentiments, and greater story/narrative. Well done, sir!

[@watchinboats]

Cole is great

[@youraveragepasser-by7367]

When he first joined Hodinkee he sounded a bit too robotic. He's become much more relaxed in his talking style and it's great listening to him now

[@DavesWatchLove]

Cole lifted this beyond an interview to a conversation. The art of conversation is rare these days. Loved this episode.

[@millionsmillions5251]

Probably my favorite Talking Watches yet. Emeril is a true legend, and EJ seems like a wonderful young man; looking forward to seeing his career flourish.

[@watchmunch3240]

I love Emeril. Been watching his shows for 30 years, since I arrived to the USA 🇺🇸 Thank you for your service Chef Legasse. For my family you are the legend.

[@davinozen]

Great collection and even better stories. One of the best episodes.

[@brunomendonca1028]

Such a nice episode. Two collections in one episode and two really nice guys!

[@mylesmiller7353]

I love the misaligned bezel on the hulk really just shows how a diver is such a perfect tool in the kitchen

[@jamiedamaral4011]

What a shot at 26:13 with Emeril's Hulk and EJ's OP... Fantastic.

[@DapperProf]

This is so great, you can tell he is a great dad who inspires his son. The young man seems like a hard worker, and great communicator.

[@theoverlord1925]

The greatest measure of success in my opinion is how your kid or kids turn out to be. It looks like Emeril Lagasse is not only a great Chef and business owner ; but also a great father. What an outstanding job he has done with his son. That’s somebody you would want to work for . Fantastic episode , with some nice watches , nice people and interesting stories behind the watches .

[@Geor9e]

What I enjoyed about this episode was that father and son's passion for watches shined through so brightly that people around them thanked them by sending them watches as a sign of appreciation and for the excellent service they provided, which tightly couples the story to the watch. But the most critical part of this episode is the incredible father-son bond.

[@BandrewScott]

Bam! Now that was a fantastic episode! Loved seeing emerill! You’ve got the nostalgia train running with the 90s episode and now having Emerill on. Keep up the fantastic content!

[@NapoleonSuarez]

I started my own business in 2015 and I have a three year old son. I have had dreams of me gifting him the first Rolex that I ever bought and also of him working with me one day. Seeing this episode really hit me different and it's incredibly refreshing to see someone really living out the dream. Salute!

[@AdamSmi1th]

Best episode in a very long time. Less 90’s week, more storytelling!

[@trinity3422]

This is one of my favorite episodes so far. Father and son, the story behind them and their watches. Pure class

[@MrBrianMandl]

Talking Watches continues to level up each time. Really well done here!

[@madgpol]

What a lovely man. I'd imagine anyone who is fortunate to meet him comes away feeling better. Great episode

[@TheSecondsHand]

I just became a dad on august 10 2022. When MR Lagasse talked about passing down the “torch” his first Rolex to his son, it hit me differently. Thank you for a beautiful video with a well deserving man, and a role model of a father.

[@iannater7072]

Love to see how used these watches are. This has gotta be one of the first episodes where more than half the watches have scratches on the crystals.

[@monicooprecio7192]

Hands down my most favorite Talking Watches thus far. This was a great episode and felt it bread new light into a seasoned American Icon. I loved this episode and loved the AP clock hanging in the kitchen. Definitely need Gordon Ramsay on talking watches too.

[@AugustusCaeasar]

That was a beautiful episode. Great to see not just a legacy, but passion being passed from one generation to another. You can see the love of a father for his family, and especially his son.

[@woodentulike2no]

In the Top 5 of all the interviews Hodinkee has done! Bravo!

[@RyTyme]

Probably my favorite Talking Watches yet. Pure class.

[@rickygonzalez8246]

By far the very best talking watches episode, the stories, the watches and Emeril and EJ Lagasse are class acts. Brilliant.

[@Redondo_dom]

Episode was pure class. This show is on another level now.

[@DEllisMusic]

WOW. What an amazing episode. I grew up watching Emeril with my folks and it’s so cool to see him bringing his son into the fold both with cooking and watches.

[@miguelangelsiller6314]

Beautiful story on how fine dining and fine timepieces come together for function , presentation, quality , and family legacy . Well done Hodinkee .

[@laurinbar3223]

This has to be my favorite talking watches there is! Pure passion.

[@Damage_Inc]

Kudos to Cole for doing such a great interview! Amazing questions, did his research, is emotionally intelligent, can get people to open up, the list goes on. I think we've found the right person to continue carrying the Talking Watches torch!

[@mb-watches]

It’s so awesome to see how these two generations develop their collection’s. Great father sun duo, was a lot of fun watching this one. Thanks Cole and Hodinkee Team for sharing this

[@andybrimer8216]

Has every right to have an ego, but he comes across as a really normal, humble guy You can tell his excitement coming through as he talks about each one. Really good episode.

[@iainsutherland1113]

This has been one of my favourite episodes, what a lovely man Emeril is. This is the best way to collect, buy what you like and attach to a special memory. It makes the whole experience of owning a nice watch that little bit better. Good luck to this man and his business.

[@joweemac]

I enjoyed this interview so much ……i can’t even express enough my love of food & watches and good stories. Great Job!!

[@englandsammo3904]

Really love to see the father, son dynamic. fantastic episode of talking watches. keep it up Hodinkee.

[@richard0807]

I love that every watch has a story, a special meaning. What a delight!

[@Harry_16710]

What an icon! Amazing collection for an incredible individual. Cheers Emeril...and EJ!🥂

[@muds1123]

Absolutely spectacular episode. Love the direction that Hodinkee is heading. Applying the love of watches to everyday life.

[@asim]

Fantastic episode. Loved the stories, the collections, the memories. Seem like genuine watch guys.

[@vdbdg]

Excellent episode, I’m sure we’ll hear again from EJ who’s such a well-spoken young man. Btw, did you notice the AP RO clock in the kitchen?

[@PhilsUnlucky]

Came here to see if anyone else noticed

[@BLR653]

Good for you Emeril! Actually wearing and enjoying your watches!

[@kyrkrakan]

Such an amazing episode! You gotta love to see scuffs on every watch, those watches are being used :)

[@clintlee7503]

Time for Talking Watches with Gordon Ramsay, Kevin Gillespie, Jonah Hill, Robert Downey Jr, Kevin Hart, Kevin O'Leary, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hamond, and James May.

[@lauriedale6104]

AND JAMES MAY! All great shouts though

[@olivier9751]

Not Downey Jr, please. He doesn’t respect the watches

[@brandonhann593]

These sit down discussions are awesome! Really enjoy these, great video!

[@trevormekelburg3773]

All these watches look worn and loved. All the bezels are set all over the place. And it kind of trigged my ocd. But then I realized this is someone who fully uses these tools. Love this collection. Great video.

[@kbb_bbk]

Someone my dad always admired growing up, Emeril is a legend! Fantastic interview and collection for both Emeril and EJ. BRAVO Cole!

[@iridiumscribe4915]

I was looking up ways to change up my spaghetti recipe and up came Emeril and his time on Emeril Live. Total nostalgia watching him many years later. My mother use to watch his show from the beginning to the end and we even tried out his spice line and sometimes I would add it and say BAM! Today he shows up on Talking Watches. I had a feeling he would be a Rolex type of guy. It's amazing to see him today and how his son really is walking in his footsteps. Time truly never stops, it just keeps on ticking. What a meaningful and fun collection they both have. Really great episode Hodinkee.

[@henkvandebeek7921]

What a lovely guy. And so good to see how he wears all his watches and how they have character and not just safe queens

[@2ryan]

Well done cole! Love your genuine enthusiasm to not just watches but more importantly the people and their stories that enjoy them. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@jimyoung2109]

Great interview. It's fantastic to see a collection of watches that are being used not just stored for a later sale.

[@d.stiefel869]

The best Talking Watches yet! Emeril loves his watches and actually wears them and puts them to good use. He also shares his cooking and watch passion with his son which makes for an outstanding legacy.

[@teesquare7627]

What an amazing pair. Great episode

[@briancook1465]

Fantastic episode. I'd love even more from chefs. They tend to actually use watch features and really put em to work.

[@hughesmichael9667]

This is one of my favorite episode, and I have seen everyone of the episodes of TW for years. the Italian dude one used to be my favorite but this episode kind of highlights the importance of life and continuity of life to me. I love it and did really enjoy it.

[@MrThekikster]

One of the best Talking Watches for sure

[@jh-il5sb]

that day date looks great with the classic white dial..........glad his watches all have a meaning and a story!

[@lbco5229]

Emeril - you rock! Great interview Cole - a nice balance between questions and conversation (and awe in hanging with the chef).

[@Jamesah1975]

Being from the uk I have never heard of this guy, but what lovely people they are, and his son is a credit to him. Great episode!

[@faizalhakim3772]

so good to see that he wears his watches- they're well worn with history, stories and memories. Bravo.

[@memberguestmedia]

Was t expecting to love this so much. What a guy. Love how he emphasizes the significance of each piece.

[@micheleburton3177]

I love the Rolex Cellini. Understated elegant and beautifully classic.

[@ryangochuico]

BAM! Great episode. I love the talking watches segment. 🥰

[@christianellopm]

This is epic, one of the best talking watches yet. Felt familiar and the Talking watches of old. Bravo

[@peterzwegat5380]

it is awesome to see someone really wearing, enjoying and rocking his watches !!!! great guy! thanks for sharing! Cole is great as always as well.

[@AndersonTom220]

Emeril seem to be a very genuine guy. And I really enjoy watching this episode with him.

[@rajahx]

Great to see Emeril talk about watches with equal passion as his food! I remember watching a lot of his shows on Food Network, and dining at the iconic Emeril's in New Orleans. Great interview Cole!

[@alexhatcher1832]

This was an awesome episode of talking watches really great conversation and love the fact we got to see both a Fathers and Sons watch collection

[@pedrorocha1425]

Emeril is such a nice guy, on top of that he also knows what he is doing. Serious watch game! Lovely stories

[@cedarcanoe]

What a great personality, and what an incredibly passionate person Emeril is.

[@tylersanders6080]

Fantastic interview!! Great collection

[@allenjlo]

Very impressed with EJ- High EQ, well spoken. Great collections for both. Great episode.

[@jhatgotagat300]

Emerald sitting behind the camera probably proud as ever to see his son on camera. I love it I also love how they aren’t crazy like most people that have been famous for years. Really happy about that. Emeralds is on the list for the next time I’m down there for sure

[@hubertkolka3107]

Watched this three times now, such a fantastic episode. Great job Cole!

[@jamesclery9809]

Smiled the whole time watching this; is what family, passion and of course watch collecting, is all about! Awesome!

[@pbuehner]

What a great episode. Such great stories are attached to each watch.

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

That tapestry dial Rolex DJ is the American Psycho datejust. Very cool.

[@robertschmidt9584]

[@TriCompax]

Something’s off with the date window of the black GMT at 19:37… magnification isn’t right.

[@edo7052]

Thought exactly the same, magnification of the cyclops isn’t right at all

[@SG-Photography]

This is another level up guys.. I almost cried watching it. I had the honor to dine at their restaurant few years ago and it was an absolute pleasure. Very nice interview by Cole as well, however ,...In my humble opinion, I don't think Emeril needs anoher 5711 , since he already have the solid gold version. I would personally recommend him an FP Journe linesport Centigraph that is made out of Aluminum. A unique piece that would make more sense to him..but this one is perhaps harder to get 😉 10/10

[@amonk93]

Love you Emeril thank you! I watched your show's almost every night as a kid. One day I hope to try your food.

[@1pashar]

Cole, Nicely done. Enjoyed the interview. Your skills as an interviewer has evolved and matured very well. Relaxed and personable. Great job on nailing the green 5711. Cheers.

[@_traveller88]

[@Seanwil91]

Very well done! I love hearing these stories.

[@tomep19]

Fun interview with Emeril and surprise second interview with EJ. Love the fact the Emeril and EJ use their tools and wear their watches hard.

[@DavidSmith-zu6eu]

I love how dinged up many of his watches are. He uses them!
