Emeril went on Jim Cramer’s Mad Money last night to discuss his new restaurant, Emeril’s Chop House and the state of the economy.

Emeril describes an easy sauce to accompany grilled fish, vegetables and more during a live on-air cooking demonstration in the SIRIUS XM Studios.

Hey guys, Emeril here. I had a great time on GMA this morning cooking my Easter Feast.  Just in case you missed it, here’s some video clips and recipes for your enjoyment.

I love football and I love cooking, so I was really excited about putting together a game day menu for Super Bowl Sunday.  I had some family and friends over to join me for the big game and for some delicious food.  A lot of us are dieting these days, so I tried to keep the recipes on the lo-cal side.  I made sure to include fresh vegetables into almost every dish and used cooking methods like stir-frying and baking.  Here are some pictures of the festivities so you guys can see.  Enjoy!  

Mise en Place

Picture 1 from 13: Mise-en-place builds up as the crew readies for the big weekend of cooking.

Wow, folks, I’ve got to tell you — December 6, 7, and 8th were big days for me and my Culinary Team. Our bimonthly visit to the Home Shopping Network brought us to St. Petersburg, Florida, where we cooked for days in support of the “Today’s Special” airing of my T-fal electric deep fryer. My Culinary Team begins weeks before each of these visits, deciding on seasonally appropriate menus for the airing and pairing specific dishes with each product. Then, everyone travels to St. Pete and makes it happen! It’s a whirlwind kind of experience – little sleep and lots of cooking, cooking, cooking, as there’s never enough food as far as the camera is concerned. See for yourself!

So, the verdict is in–I will be relocating my sweet tooth to our flagship location, Emeril’s Restaurant, on Tchoupitoulas Street in the Central Business District. This is where I spent the first six months of my career in the company, before moving to Emeril’s Delmonico, in the Lower Garden District, so it feels a lot like coming home.

The new executive chef, David Slater (who took over on the first of this year), is a dear friend of mine, and I absolutely cannot wait to get back in the kitchen with him. We have lots of really great new menu items to test out, so please stop by and let us know what you think!

(And for those of you who are feeling a slight panic—not to worry; the banana cream pie is not going anywhere!)
