New Orleans history and culture has always been and remains my culinary muse. When I first opened Emeril’s doors in 1990, we aimed to bring fresh preparations and infuse creativity into New Orleans culinary traditions and culture. We continue to challenge ourselves to bring our guests an exceptional experience, inspired by the various influences of New Orleans cuisine with a focus on innovation and refinement. The chef’s tasting is curated to be a journey building upon flavors and complexities of our ingredients infused with unique modernization. For New Orleanians and visitors alike we strive to create dishes, and environments that restore and transport people, leaving them happier than when they came to us. - Chef Emeril Lagasse
