You go to a restaurant in the States and kids have these game boards at the table. You dont see that in Italy or Spain. Its not because they cant afford to buy them, its because thats not what eating together as a family is about. – Emeril Lagasse
I came here because the city has a tradition and is a very respected food city. – Emeril Lagasse
I launched The Emeril Lagasse Foundation to provide culinary training, and developmental and educational programs to children in the cities where my restaurants operate. I think everyone has a responsibility to give back to the community if they can, and to help future generations learn new skills. – Emeril Lagasse
You know, in 1975 I couldnt get a job in New York City because I was American. The kitchens were predominantly run by French, Swiss, German, and basically I got laughed at. I had education, I had experience, but got laughed at because I was American. – Emeril Lagasse
