Award-winning chef Emeril Lagasse became a national figure as a host of several popular cooking shows. But in New Orleans, he's known for his flagship restaurant"Emeril's." It's been an institution in the city for more than 30 years. His restaurant has undergone some big changes thanks to the new young chef at its helm — E.J. Lagasse.
"Every young kid thinks I'm going to play a sport, I'll be in the Olympics or something like that. It wasn't what it was for me," E.J. said."I sat them down at dinner. I just said, 'By the way guys, this is what I'm gonna do.' And the first words he said were"Are you sure about that?" and I was like"Yeah, yeah,'" E.J. said.
He graduated culinary school last May and has apprenticed with esteemed chefs in celebrated kitchens worldwide. It was soon after that he began helping revamp the dining experience at his father's restaurant, where just 60 guests per night are treated to a newly designed tasting menu. The menu is based on his father's original offerings and influenced by Chef Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin and Chef Clare Smyth of Core.
E.J., now chef patron at his father's original, eponymous New Orleans restaurant, said the more personalized and smaller experience is the change that the establishment needed to go through to not remain stagnant.

Awesome Congratulations on your career choice. Much success and many blessings to you and your family
Look, I get that people follow in their parents' footsteps, go into the family business. But to say that 'he did it on his own' is disingenuous. If he became an attorney or astronaut, yeah. But his name is literally on the door of the restaurant.
It’s sad that fast food isn’t as good as 4 star.
Is there any white person alive who has a job without nepotism?
Nepotism always looks the same.
