Someone uploaded a bunch of old Emeril Live episodes on YouTube. I've been watching a bunch of them and I can't believe I forgot how cool this guy is. Let's talk about how cool Emeril Lagasse is.

not a full episode, but this clip is a great microcosm of the show.

It makes me sad to see how happy everyone is in this video. No one is this happy anymore.

>> No.14741296

when I was 9 years old I was so excited my mom got us tickets to see the show
I got a seat right at the end where he walks out, and when he came out he said "how ya doing buddy" and gave me a pat on the head, and delivered the opening monologue right next to me

these shows were taped in advance so I had to wait a few weeks and then when I finally aired I was exited to see myself on TV
and they completely edited me out of the episode...
every time the camera would pan in my direction it would cut right before it got to me. There was one point where the outro to a commercial went right across the row to show a close up of people clapping and it stops at my mom

I was pretty crushed

Dude was one of my two biggest inspirations to learn to cook. Fucking master of the craft, IMO.
Sure, he might not have the sheer fame of some, nor does he run NOMA, or make the best tasting food. But he makes damn good food, and all of it has soul. It has personality. He has a wide variety of backgrounds and dishes, and does his own things to them, while also discussing dishes that might not be the most widely known.

Compare him to Gordon Ramsey (either cusses at people a ton or just says "lovely" a lot) or Bobby Flay ("making this santa fe style by cooking it in bacon fat and adding avocado! Santa fe!). Emeril comes on stage, a hearty, stout fellow, jovial and joking, always with a smile. He explains much of what he is doing in front of an audience, keeps a pace, and goddamn I'd be lying if I said I didn't say BAM! every now and then when I'm making a dish.

You've done a good job at summarizing Emeril's appeal. Watching Emeril Live gives you the impression that he's like an old friend who makes really good food and knows a lot about it, but conveys his knowledge in a way that's approachable for the layman. He lacks the pretension that a lot of more recent celeb chefs have. His shows have a very positive energy to them.

He has a gift for being kind and respectful to his guests. The Julia Child episodes are especially reverential.

Really, his travel shows are the best.
Emeril's Florida was paid by tourism council of Florida, and they're great.

Been posting on the weekends here. Grabbing episodes as they air on Martha Stewarts Dabl network but I'm damn near out of range, so the quality is lacking. But no one else is doing it, so fuck it.

You will never again watch Emeril over your grandmothers house where your parents left you while they go to work then fight with your older brother about whose turn it is to play Pokemon Red on the Gameboy before the batteries run out then go to school the next day and crumble your chips over your sandwich and say BAM and pretend you're a famous chef

Like all "reality" TV, it's scripted.
I expect they say "no talking during the show; we want to limit retakes. Just smile quietly when the applause light is off, whoop and clap when the light goes on."

We're americlaps for a reason.

I really liked Emeril, he was entertaining as hell. Then he had the live show where he added shit to food for cheap pops from the audience. I still watched his shows but then they added another show and Emeril was everywhere. Kind of got sick of seeing him. Later he started doing a traveling cooking show without the theatrics which I really liked.
