My oldest son wanted to be a chef when he was little. Emeril was having a book signing so I took my son (Tyler was a big fan of his). My son had Cystic Fibrosis and passed when he was 9 (20 years ago) so he was around 8 when we met Emeril. Emeril was so kind and gracious. Spent a ton of time with my son, chatting and taking pictures even though there were many people waiting to get their books signed. Tyler was so excited. Emeril truly left a wonderful impression on all of us. Great to see that his son is following in his footsteps yet creating his own path as well. ❤

This is really cool to see. My dad worked under emeril before all the tv shows at emeril’s in the late 80s and said how amazing emeril is. My dad opened up his own restaurant in 2002 and I fell in love with the restaurant/food life ever since like 10 and my dad has kinda passed the torch to me now

I grew up watching Emeril with my mom. I love Emeril, he appeared to be a wholesome guy. Bam, bam, bam!

Im 30 been watching emeril for 20 years , proud of these guys

Jeez,he looks and sounds just like his Dad! I 💕 Emeril, so it great to see his son follow in his foot steps 😘🤗❤️

So glad that this iconic restaurant has stewardship for new generations of diners!😋

That is a proud moment when you Someday pass the torch from father to son w/ pride.

He seems very mature!!!

He's 19. Look how he carries himself and how he eloquently talks about dining, etc. A true prodigy, more than a chip off the old block.

Such a great interview 🤠 I'm a chef us merchant Marine retired been to the restaurant but I think it's so wonderful that his son p complimenting his heritage

Wow, they both have that same love for cooking that comes across.

Great story about Emeril and his son ❤

Good for him! The Dynasty lives on ❤❤❤❤ Nowadays kids don't want to pursue the same career as their parents for many reasons. So for him to go into cooking is is pure passion and love

This is how the relationship between father and son should be

Very admirable. 19 years old. Wow....

nice to see parents that support their child’s wishes. it will be interesting to see how his career and food continues to grow over the years.

Like father, like son! Bam!💕

His son is a very A type personality. I like that balance between him and his dad

food network used to have educational cooking shows. you could watch it all day. now it's just ridiculous contests like bake a pie in 60 seconds.

Thank you for sharing. This was and is so nice to have his son learning and growing!!!!!

Chef E you did good - your son is full of confident !!!!

Chef E.J. has big shoes to fill. Very exciting for him!

I love this story, heartwarming and positive

Kid is 19. Impressive

Amazing he looks just like his dad 😳😳😲

He seems like he's well grounded. I'm pretty sure his DAD just didn't give him the kitchen. He had a kind of earn it in his own way. I'M PRETTY SURE IF HE KEEPS HIS FATHER'S WISDOM WITH HIM AT ALL TIMES. PLUS,THE GROWING PAINS THAT ARE GOING TO COME WITH THE JOB THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR. HE WILL BE JUST FINE.

E.J.’s catchphrase should just be “BOOM”

Emeril remains a huge part of my passion for cooking and E.J. already carries himself as a great leader and Chef. I look forward to this generation of learning from both of them.

Good for him. I wish him much success. ❤

wish him luck... the restaurant business is tough

Such a talent just like his Dad but in his own way. Your both the best

Excellent Interview about Emeril’s Restaurant!

Cool for son to follow father. I have followed Emeril since his shows in the red and black kitchen when he began to have a TV presence...before Food Network. I am a visual and tactile learner. All of my senses must be engaged in an activity so much so that I am so immersed in the process that I don't hear people talking to me. Emeril taught me how to cook but more importantly why to cook. The addiction to cooking and working in the kitchen has saved me from less favorable addictions. My own son is bent like me and he is currently apprenticing in a sushi restaurant. Thank you Emeril and E.J. for the lessons of the past and the lessons to come in the future.

Respectable

What an amazing young man.

Ahhhw this is amazing

My mom love him

That's hecka cool

beautiful

He looks just like him

Good luck to him

Omg EJ is SO CUTE

i swear by his original essence seasoning for mac n cheese

wow- just wow - how lucky Emeril can pass the torch to his Own son & his son can carry it and run with it

Loving Nates hair

There’s no chance that dude is ready

Nepo baby!!!!

Emeril Live: The next generation.

I wonder if he still prepares his father’s old dishes if a client requests them? Sometimes my favorite restaurants have done that for me, and sometimes they have told me that they just don’t have the ingredients. I’m fine with that. Every business updates, no matter what type of business it is.

Based on what they were describing, it sounds like it is a tasting menu so there's no requests (outside of allergies).

He can get his own show. Call it "Nepo Chef".

It's one thing to look like a parent. It's another when u either sound like them or have their mannerisms.

EJ's Restaurants should expand
