Emeril: Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?
Thumbs up. It's not so much what he was cooking, but his technique as a teacher was awesome.
I love both Emeril and Alton Brown because I can watch their shows and learn something about food preparation. Maybe it's a spice, maybe it's how to make a corn starch slurry, but in all cases, for an untrained, hobbiest cook like me, I find these shows invaluable sources of information.
I also just like Emeril. He is captivating and magnetic. He seems like a regular guy and not one of these food snobs you see a lot on TV.
I'm very sad he won't be on as much, but I do agree with all of the new stars at Food Network, someone had to remain standing when the music stopped.

Martha Stewart Buys the Emeril Brand: What's It Mean?
I get the impression that this is a capital infusion that will help Emeril expand his restaurant empire to notches unknown.
This could be $45-$70 million of working capital that he could spin into several new cities. After all, he's only in New Orleans, Orlando, Vegas and Atlanta. Maybe he wants to open restaurants in other places like Chicago, LA or even NYC.
I see this as Emeril cashing in his assets and letting someone else take over the part of the empire he's tired of.
I also think that with the cancellation of Emeril Live, he's probably going to do less TV and focus on his restaurants and his family. The guy has worked very hard the last several years flying back and forth to NYC and maybe he just wants to focus on one thing.
By the way, Martha Stewart also bought Doc Gibbs' tambourine for $57.

Emeril: Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?
His show was overkill on Food Network. We enjoyed him at first but got tired of him very quickly. So no, we won't follow him to Fine Living.
Emeril: Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?
Here on the left coast, Essence of Emeril is not available except in the day time. this is sad because working folk don't get a chance to see it. I wasn't really fond of the night time show, but, at least, he cooked. All the phony stuff they put on now is truly annoying. Too much making of cakes, silly contests and contrived stuff.
Paula Dean and Rachel Ray are too much. Annoying, trite and phony! My food shows come on PBS these days where the artist/cook really cooks and you learn something. Three exceptions come to mind - Giada, Ina Garten and Ellie Krieger. I also watch Alton Brown when I can. he's funny and has his facts in order. If Tyler Florence is on, I haven't found his show

@foodinmouth - that may have been it, although when I met her it was about 20 years ago and at a Jr. League function. Perhaps she knew I wasn't the Jr. League type and was "crashing" the party??
Martha Stewart Buys the Emeril Brand: What's It Mean?
I think The Essence of Emeril is one of THE best cooking shows. I also like Jacques Pepin, America's Test Kitchen and Barefoot Contessa.
I have learned a wealth of info and techniques from Emeril. I admit that the LIVE show turned me off though. I wouldn't watch it and certainly won't miss it.

Emeril just made a ton of money, but I wouldn't watch him again, on *any* network.

@SayWhat,
maybe Martha did not take interest in you because you did not have insider trading tips for her.

I just wish I had known Emril had put up the "For Sale" sign on his butt. Maybe we could have all held yard sales and chipped in to save him from Martha.
Met her, don't like her, JMHO.

You forgot Miami Beach's Emeril restaurant (in the Lowes Hotel), Chip.
Martha Stewart Buys the Emeril Brand: What's It Mean?
I agree with foodinmouth. Rachel Ray is the giant of TV cooking fame, and after that, is Emril, and then a long way below that before anyone else shows up (Bourdain? Bitali? Flay?)
Maybe Martha is planning to launch her own Food-TV like network and she wants programming.

It doesn't feel like other rock star chefs touch emeril's status as of yet. emeril has "bam" and bobby flay has boy meets grill? and then how many people who do not read food blogs know about Per Se? and then how many know about Babbo? Who's left after that?

Martha is a brilliant brand-builder. I bet this is going to be a huge leg up for Emeril...and either way, he's $50M richer...

Here is the facts as they are. Martha has her show on Fine Living TV. Fine Living TV is owned by Scripps same as Food Network.

I have heard all kinds of rumors of a Martha TV but I see her on CBS and Scripps so I think they probably just sold Emeril to someone in the Scripps Family.

My hubbie and I were traveling from DC to Atlanta once, and pulled off the side of the road somewhere in North Carolina. That vinegar-barbecue was the best I've ever had!
