Primetime Series Premieres Thursday, May 5th at 10:30pm ET (7:30pm PT)

NEW YORK – April 6, 2011 – This May, Chef Emeril Lagasse hits the road to pay tribute to The Originals – iconic food establishments that have helped shape the country’s culinary landscape – in his new primetime Cooking Channel series. While the restaurant industry is notoriously challenging and the life of a restaurant is sometimes short, every city has those cherished institutions that have stood the test of time. In each 30-minute episode of The Originals with Emeril, premiering May 5th at 10:30pm ET (7:30pm PT), Emeril visits a new city and goes behind-the-scenes at three historic eateries – speaking with the chefs and customers to help reveal their fascinating stories. From uncovering the birthplace of famous dishes like Boston Cream Pie in New England and the French Dip Sandwich in Los Angeles to revealing Charlie Chaplin’s favorite 1920’s Hollywood hangout and Dr. Martin Luther King’s preferred Atlanta dining spot, Emeril travels to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, and his beloved New Orleans during the 13-episode first season. This time on the other side of the stove, Emeril takes viewers on an informative and tasty culinary journey visiting the places Americans have loved to eat for over a hundred years and counting.

Kicking Universal’s cuisine scene up a notch.It’s plausible that Emeril Lagasse’s original Orlando outpost could fall into the shadow of his swankier follow-up restaurant, Tchoup Chop, down the road. But Emeril’s still draws crowds of mostly loyal locals for the celebrity chef’s creative New Orleans cuisine, dished up in the heart of the Universal’s CityWalk.The Oyster Stew, a shallot-milk broth ‘kicked up’ with Andouille mashed potatoes, black pepper croutons and garlic aioli, is a must, and a perfect lighter option for lunch. For dinner, try the roasted rack of lamb with a Creole mustard crust or the pecan-coated Texas redfish. Gourmet pizzas and innovative soups, like the chilled puree of avocado with a crabmeat relish, are good options for the light eaters at your table. Don’t miss the chocolate mint mousse cake and the selection of homemade sorbets and ice creams for dessert. A sparkling, centerpiece show kitchen, tables covered with crisp linens and colorful, contemporary artwork on the walls add up to a hip and classy atmosphere to showcase Emeril’s masterpieces.Locals tip: The restaurant will validate your parking ticket if you park at the Hard Rock CafeFrom: AOL CityGuide Orlando

Emeril’s Potluck
Comfort Food with a Kicked-Up Attitude
by Emeril Lagasse

America’s favorite chef Emeril Lagasse is ready to party.

Parties and celebrations mean food. Lots of food: tureens of soup, platters of chicken, bowls of salad, casseroles of baked pasta. From family reunions to holiday buffets, summer barbecues to tailgate parties, and weekend brunches to bridal showers, Emeril’s Potluck offers crowd-pleasing dishes perfect for gatherings with friends and family.

Emeril’s Potluck brings together everything Emeril loves most about cooking and eating. The food is simple, flavorful, and perfect for sharing at any get-together. Each recipe serves a whopping 8 to 10 people, but don’t assume you’re making too much — everyone will be heading back for seconds and thirds of these Emerilized starters, entrees, drinks, sides, and desserts.

Start by toasting the occasion with a glass of Champagne Punch, a Watermelon Daiquiri, or an Orange Emeril. Then let the feast begin! Classic Blue Cheese Dip, Alain’s Sweet and Spicy Asian Wings, or Sausage-Stuffed Mushrooms will get your party started right! Main courses range from Olive-Stuffed Leg of Lamb and Creole Mustard and Herb-Wrapped Beef Tenderloin to homey favorites such as Charlotte’s Lasagna Bolognese, Penne à la Vodka Casserole, and Tuna Tetrazzini. Of course, it wouldn’t be a party without dessert, so save room for Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, Strawberry Shortcake, and Emeril’s Tiramisu.

The recipes are quick, easy, and portable. Enjoy these dishes at home or take them on the road. Emeril’s Potluck — so foolproof, so easy, so crowd pleasing that luck has nothing to do with it.
