Around thirty years ago, in the now-trendy district Warehouse District of New Orleans, between art galleries and vintage boutiques, chef Emeril Lagasse opened Emeril’s, the restaurant from which he began conquering America with his Creole and Cajun cuisine typical of the Louisiana region.
Enthroned as a successful culinary professional, an American television celebrity chef, and author of numerous cookbooks, the chef decided to turn over the helm of his restaurant to his son, Emeril John IV. In the warmly welcoming decor of Emeril’s gourmet restaurant, as well as in the more relaxed Wine Bar, the young chef faithfully carries on his father’s labor of love through season-specific signature menus composed with ingredients sourced from a handful of carefully selected farmers from the region. Guests love being invited to tour the kitchens to see what will soon be served to them once they are seated.
