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!)
