What, no one digs Emeril?

[sui generis]

1. Bam!

He's decent.

[TimeChaser]

2. One of my friends

is a second cousin or something of his.

3. I liked his show until he got to crazy with the "BAM".

His audience is a little to easy to please. I can just hear Emeril now "How you doing? We are going to have blanched slug today. BAM" ROARRRR the crowd goes wild. heheehe

4. If he was as funny as he thinks he is

or if he could cook -- I would like him.

Hate the little musical humming thing he does while mixing things. And "essense" is what happens to your spice rack in an earthquake. I'm more of a focused flavor guy.

And you can't just pour booze into stuff even if the audience applauds.

[Shakespeare]

5. I know lots of folks despise him, but....

...I'm rather chummy with the folks at Fetzer's Valley Oaks Ranch, where Emeril does several events a year (many of them fundraisers). No one has had anything but glowing praise for him there; he's gotten a reputation (among this group, at least) for being easy-going, friendly and accessible.

So, love him or hate him, he at least seems to be a really decent guy.
