Emeril Live

Whether good or bad is up to you but he turned cooking into a spectator sport. I don't watch it too much but when it is on and nothing is better I will watch. I started to like after I realized it isn't supposed to be a cooking show only but rather a variety show with an emphasis on cooking

Emeril is the most widely know chef in American today. "Emeril Live" is a vibrant & fun approach to cooking shows. Emeril takes cooking a meal for your family to a higher level. It isn't just heating ingredients, it is "food of love". He inspires & educates. Even kids like him. They want to "BAM!" along in the kitchen too. He takes dishes some people find intimidating, and shows us we all can make impressive meals for our family & friends with a little information, and alot of garlic!! When was the last time a cooking show was this much fun??

My girlfriend turned me on to Emeril. I had never liked or ever really watched cooking shows before. Well I am hooked now. I love his show. He seems down to earth and has so much energy and passion for food and cooking, it makes you want to cook. Which I am now. I love to cook and try new things. And this is on of the best most entertaining shows on TV. So if you want to Kick IT UP A Notch, watch this show.

This is the MOST annoying person on TV! I love to watch cooking shows because I can get alot of ideas from them, I hate his show. I will NOT kick it up the notch. Quick yelling BAM all the time. And puhleeze get real, no one really acts like this and I have no idea why these people are getting excited over this.

The live experience was really a lot of fun! The first time we attended, the theme was "olives"--my LEAST favorite food, but he showed how to use olives and olive oil, and we learned a bit about different grades of olive oil. The second time we took the kids, my oldest daughter had "Flat Stanley" along as a school project; she had to write about his visit to the show. So during the intermission, the kids got to meet Emeril in person and get an ice cream treat from the freezer, and in turn, Emeril shook hands with Flat Stanley as well as our kids. The featured food on the show was garlic, and again, the food did not disappoint. Cooking as theater? Sure, why not? Oh, almost forgot--some guy named Charlie Daniels sat in with Doc Gibbs and the band that day. Emeril has been and is a huge inspiration to me as a home cook, and I am grateful to have been able to watch--and all three of our kids love cooking!
