The Real Reason You Don't Hear From Emeril Lagasse Anymore
Ойын-сауық
There was a time when celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse was everywhere on the Food Network. He shot to fame with the long-running Emeril Live, which ran for over a decade and made him one of the most popular television personalities on the Food Network.
Lagasse was also a judge on Bravo’s popular Top Chef, and he even contributed his voice acting skills to the Disney movie The Princess and the Frog, where he played Marlon the Gator.
However, in the blink of an eye, the popular celebrity chef seemed to disappear from the public eye. Here is the real reason you don’t hear from Emeril Lagasse anymore.

Emeril is the only reason i found food network. Still love watching episodes of his shows. He is one of the main reasons i got into cooking better dishes for the family. He expanded my repertoire quite a bit and my family has really enjoyed what i learned from him.
Short version why you don’t hear from him anymore: because Food Network is just another game show and reality channel now. Hot garbage that has nothing to do with cooking.

January 2018....A television producer for one of Emeril Lagasse's cooking shows is fighting a subpoena to turn over financial records to the Florida House of Representatives. Lawmakers are asking for years of records detailing how the show "Emeril's Florida" spent millions of dollars it received from the state's tourism agency. The legislators want to know how much Lagasse was paid.The Florida House of representatives demanded last week that producer Pat Roberts and his company turn over records by Tuesday or risk hefty fines and even jail. Roberts has sued in federal court to block release of the records. Lawyers for Roberts contend he could be sued if the information is revealed. Visit Florida paid at least $10 million over a five-year period for the show. The show aired on The Cooking Channel.

I don't mind competitions that are straightforward, where it's just chefs making their best thing and comparing them, maybe with a theme. Like who makes the best Texas style chili, or which pastry chef makes the most elegant wedding cake or whatever. The ones that are filled with stunts, backstabbing and petty personality clashes can go though.

I'm very glad that Emeril is clearly doing well. His work passing on his love for food, service and drink, is bound to reap dividends for those who have been helped by the foundation he runs. Emeril is a kind and generous person, who when Katrina devastated New Orleans, set about to find the people who were kitchen staff, wait staff and those who worked in ancillary positions for the food service industry. He then went about helping those people and their families to regain their footing and get back to the restaurants they worked in, some of them all their lives. That's the kind of person, Emeril is, one who'll help you to get back on your feet and working so that you don't lose but win in the game of life. He's been a blessing to all the people of NO who wanted to come back, they were the backbone of the food service industry in a city known for wonderful, exquisite, and amazing food.
As a teen I did personal security for Emeril before I joined the military. Nicest man you've ever met. Treated everyone equally, from the CEO to the janitor, just a class act of an individual all the way around. Much respect!
Good Luck Emeril and GOD Bless You
I’m happy to hear Emeril is still doing his thing as a chef, and even though he didn’t sell out, is still doing what he loves.
Emeril was and will always be a role model for me. When I was a kid I used to watch the food network specifically for his shows.
I miss his shows,I always love and respect him.
Emeril and Alton were the reason I watched food Network. Now It blows.
I miss seeing Emeril's tv show.
Some of my earliest memories of advanced cooking are of watching Emeril with my mother. I'll always have the great memories of my Italian family making traditional meals for holidays... But Emeril was the first person who showed me what taking food to a higher level was.
Love Emeril, love cooking and taking it up a notch...

Totally respect and agree with his feelings about what food TV has become. I miss shows that taught you how to cook. How to create. How to enjoy food. He is faithful to his craft. I appreciate that. Emeril, Tyler Florence, Ina Garten, Lydia Bastianich, Mario Batali, Michael Chiarello, they TAUGHT, inspired, we're creative. Everything now is focused not on food but who is better, greater, the BEST. The food is a paltry second player. Same with HDTV and the older shows that TAUGHT how to use color, spaces, metals, woods, paint, fabrics. How to restore homes. Refurbish. Now, all childish competition shows. Whatever happened to the love of learning? Of creating?
Really miss this guy on TV. Learned so much from his shows. What a showmen. Blessings
I have great childhood memories of watching Emeril Live with my dad. :)
He's a wonderful chef. I loved his recipes,
Essence of Emeril was my favorite!
Emeril was an inspiration for me growing up as a 90's kid and also an Italian American. My grandparents had me cooking breakfast on a stool when I was 3. And Emeril was always somebody our family greatly respected and they used him as a motivator for me. I miss his shows.
Class act. Glad to see he is busy and thriving. True to his roots. When you don't forget where you came from, and what your purpose truly is, and you take care of yourself and those around you, successful things happen.

Oh thank God❣️. I am so glad Emeril is living well. Now I can’t wait to check the bookshelves of my favorite online bookstore. 🥰
He was definitely one of the reasons why I have become a baker and aspiring cook. I loved watching Emeril Live with my father as it is one of those kind of shows where he integrated the love of food, music and passion. Food Network's push towards competition shows unfortunately was such a bad move that I tend to go to KZread, PBS for cooking lessons and inspiration. Emeril Live was just so fun and we need more shows like that. God Bless Emeril for sticking to his convictions!
Best lunch I ever ate in his original restaurant in New Orleans
He’s s Great Chef with Personality plus. Love Emeril. I buy many of his great products. With his name comes tremendous credibility.
Love this man and much respect. Watched Emeril Live from New York City for years. Some of the other Food Network so called chefs could take a lesson on humility and genuine love for cooking that Emeril has.

I ran into Emeril in Panama City at the Winn Dixie grocery store. Just the night before I had prepared his pistachio encrusted snapper. I recognized him and mentioned that I watched his show and I had fixed one of his recipes the night before. He asked which one.......uh, duh....I was able to maintain myself and tell him. He is the nicest person ever. A real stand up guy! Love him! Anne
A true OG. BAM!
Competition cooking shows suck. I loved The Essence of Emeril. His departure from the Food Channel was around when I stopped watching. The Food Channel should get back to the basics; cooking show where, you know, they teach cooking.
I LOVE him whenever he came on my daughter would yell, "Mommy, the Bam man is on".
Used to watch his show daily when I've moved to the US, didn't understand a word at first but definetly was a major help getting to learn the language, can't forget when he ask the public: Are you with me so far??? another one was : and then I've asked myself, SELF..... He was a show man, my favorite ever!!!
Emeril was great
No mention was made of his stints at HSN and QVC?? There was an issue with he and HSN which was why he left there.
Owning an ad agency we attended an "Emeril Live" show back in Jan 2007 as a guests of one of the media cable companies...the show was called "Winter in New England" and was served the meal sitting up front...lots of fun and excitement... so was Emeril.

Teaching me how make good food, into great food, beautiful food, favorable food. BAM!! Emeril taught me how to buy the delicious seasoning's, and have respect for the flavors, style, and the love of cooking. BAM!!!! I will always have " MAD" RESPECT for him. Emeril also taught me how to use different tools, which type of cookware too have in the home. BAM!! Thanks Emeril for being a one of a kind teacher. I've learned a lot. May you continue too be a bad ass, chef with love, and passion, for the love of cooking. God bless you.
I now have so much respect that he didn't jump into the reality show game. When the Food channel went all-in on reality shows I went all out. Good for you Emeril!
