Back Stage at The Emeril Lagasse Show
You may have heard that my good friend, Chef Emeril Lagasse has been busy creating a new TV show on ION Television, called The Emeril Lagasse Show. Once a week, Emeril will welcome celebrity guests and musicians to partake in a variety-themed show filled with celebration and food. He will also share fascinating field pieces shot in and around New York City. The original, primetime series is recorded before a live studio audience and will capture Emeril's passion for people, entertainment, music, food and celebration. The hour-long program will air on Sundays at 8pm beginning April 18th. I think you will agree that Emeril's culinary prowess is matched by his great personal charm and appeal. Here are some photos, taken last week, when I taped an episode with Emeril. He had me on as his very first guest. What fun and lots of luck, Emeril, with the new show!
