Description
At just 22, Chef E.J. Lagasse has led Emeril’s in New Orleans to 2 Michelin stars, becoming one of the youngest chefs to run a two-star kitchen. Bon Appétit spends a day on the line with E.J., who takes us behind the scenes of his 16-course tasting menu rooted in Creole and Cajun cuisine and how he is carrying on his family’s legacy, taking after his chef and restaurateur father, Emeril Lagasse.
