Who knew that a kid working in the local Portuguese bakery would burst with a bam(!) into the culinary scene, opening a series of successful restaurants, hosting popular TV shows and becoming one of the most recognizable chefs of all time? As a boy, Emeril Lagasse began bread and pastry making at a Portuguese bakery in his Fall River, Massachusetts, neighborhood. Turning down a music scholarship to follow his culinary dream, Emeril Lagasse worked his way through the Johnson and Wales University culinary program to earn a doctorate. After school, Emeril Lagasse turned his eye toward the classic cuisine of France. Emeril Lagasse polished his skills in Paris and Lyons before returning to the U.S., where he worked in several fine restaurants in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Building a reputation through his use of only the freshest products, Emeril Lagasse came to the attention of Ella Brennan, the doyenne of New Orleans's culinary community. She persuaded 26-year-old Emeril Lagasse to move to the Big Easy, where for nearly eight years he presided over Ella and Dick Brennan's legendary restaurant, Commander's Palace. Emeril Lagasse opened his own restaurant in 1990. From the day its doors opened, Emeril's Restaurant and its owner drew ecstatic praise. Congratulations came not only from the local New Orleans gentry and the writers who prowl the region for culinary news, but also from such national magazines as Esquire, Conde Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure, as well as from such noted food critics as John Mariani and Gene Bourg. Following the success of Emeril's Restaurant, Emeril Lagasse opened multiple establishments. NOLA, which opened in New Orleans's French Quarter in 1992, and Emeril's New Orleans Fish House at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, which premiered in 1995, both draw crowds of fans and rave reviews. In 1998, Emeril Lagasse also reopened the classic Emeril's Delmonico in New Orleans. Two more restaurants quickly followed in 1999: Emeril's Orlando at Universal Studios and Delmonico Steakhouse in Las Vegas. In January 2002, Emeril's Tchoup Chop opened its doors in Orlando. In August 2003, Emeril's Atlanta opened its doors, followed by Emeril's Miami Beach in November. In addition to Emeril Lagasse's restaurants are a series of books, including "There's a Chef in My Family" and "Emeril's Pot Luck." Despite his success, Emeril Lagasse remains devoted as ever to using fresh, top-quality ingredients and employs cottage industry ranchers, farmers and fishermen to ensure that he always gets the best. Emeril Lagasse constantly invents new recipes, much to the delight of his regular customers and the fans of his Food Network specials and shows "Emeril Live" and "Essence of Emeril." Emeril Lagasse lives with his wife Alden, son Emeril, Jr. and daughter Meril.
