He's so famous he needs only one name...Emeril. His restaurants in New Orleans, each distinctively different, are packed each night. His television shows have garnered top awards. And his cookbooks are considered the Bibles of home cooks everywhere. He's a hometown hero to many charitable endeavors, and is one of this city's most enthusiastic ambassadors. Is it any wonder why this city loves Emeril right back?
When in New Orleans, you have three fabulous restaurants to choose from, all owned and operated by Emeril Lagasse:
Emeril's Restaurant, a noisy, bustling restaurant in the heart of the Warehouse District. Both lunch and dinner feature new New Orleans foods with a Creole ethnic flair. Look for the barbecue shrimp with petite buttermilk biscuits or pecan crusted redfish. It's a chic, be-seen kind of place, so dress up. Make reservations waaaay in advance.
Nola Restaurant, a hip, casual restaurant in the heart of the French Quarter featuring Cajun/Creole foods. The industrial decor, in an 1800s building, make for a quirky ambiance. Look for the grilled double cut pork chop with bourbon mashed sweet potatoes served with rock shrimp pecan relish and caramelized onion reduction sauce.
Emeril's Delmonico, an elegant, sophisticated restaurant on historic St. Charles Avenue featuring classic New Orleans Creole cuisine. Located in what was once an antebellum mansion, Emeril's Delmonico is a special-occasion treat. A signature dish to look for: Veal Marcelle, medallions with jumbo lump crabmeat, field mushrooms and asparagus with hollandaise sauce.
