Chef E.J. Lagasse

Handsome, well-spoken, intelligent, ambitious, and only 19 years old. How is it possible that he's Emeril Lagasse's son? Watch for the stare of death EJ gives his father, when Emeril says "Sometimes in life, Passing the torch isn't as easy as it sounds."

Emeril, you in danger, Chef!

He's cute. He must look like his mother.

Precocious as a kid, and obnoxious as an adult.

He seems very sure of himself, and I didn't like the way he corrected his father during the interview.

It shows real immaturity and a great lack of respect.

R1 Emerill was hot as fuck when he was young.

Except for places like Las Vegas & Columbus Ohio, I'm kind of surprised Emerill's restaurants, particularly the one in New Orleans where there are ton of good restaurants, are still open. Even in the pre-Katrina days, that restaurant was known as a tourist trap

You can make an entire career and tons of money, off the bad taste of Flyover America.

Which one is "that restaurant"? NOLA was great.

He seemed respectful of Emeril, IMO.

Sounds like he went to culinary school for a couple of years.

I'm sure Emeril is happy EJ is interested in being a chef.

Emeril still looks unhealthy, IMO.

It's funny, I haven't heard about EL in years and then all the sudden he starts showing up again, with his tired schtick, poor quality products he promotes and mediocre restaurants. Now comes along EJ, who seems rather smarmy & annoying sitting next to fat, tired old Emeril (side note: this will be George Clooney one day). Not to say that he doesn't have *any* skills, but it's likely more about continuing the brand once Emeril is finally gone for good & all those people (particularly old women) who *love* Emeril can flock to the restaurant because the son is (supposedly) the chef. He probably has some specialty thing while the EL Industrial Machine cranks out the food.

Emeril looks bad. Like, close to having a heart attack or stroke bad. His son seems very self assured and a little strident. He's only 19 and he'll lose the attitude a bit.

I would have thought gay and closeted rather than bi, honestly.
