Stupid question: Is Emeril Lagasse doing anything in N.O.?

[KitchenWitch]

Since he pretty much got his start down there?

1. and he still had three restaurants there

2. I'm not a fan of his personality

But apparently he's a real nice guy who gives a lot to his community--I would be surprised if he didn't throw something NO's way.

3. I was thinking more like House of Blues

which has one of its key clubs down there.

4. And if he does, or if he doesn't, what difference does it make?

People will do what they'll do.

And won't do what they don't.

5. I was just curious

It makes not a whole lot of difference either way, I was just wondering.

6. What the hell. Let us beat up on Emeril.

Kick his ass.

7. naw - he's had a bad enough week

i believe he lost at least two restaurants, and possibly a home last week.

i feel for the guy.

10. That's what I was trying to say.

Thanks.

11. Floo, I was not beating up on Emeril

I was just curious as to what, if anything, he was doing during this time.

I happen to like Emeril a lot!

8. My husband and I are asking the same question.

When 9/11 happened the Food Network made a big deal about how some of their chefs were pitching in with, and helping out folks. So far nada, from anyone at the network.

9. BAM!

They gonna need a shitload of "essence" during rebuilding.
