I have a hard time thinking Emeril is just about the food. Who would say yes to Crest commercials, sit-coms, etc. has more than food on his mind. I found his live show tiresome and annoying. I was constantly saying to myself....why is everyone laughing so hard at this? Is there something I am not getting? I fear Paula Deen and friends is next. She is getting more crude by the second and all her hangers-on family members are riding her coat tails for a career in the limelight. She is getting old. Plus, I am from and live in Georgia, and I classify her as "an act." No one really acts like that in real life down here.
