Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting our site and sending your well wishes and thoughts about ‘Emeril Live’. It is true that we will not continue production of ‘Emeril Live’ after the next filming in December, but I am looking forward to continuing a long working relationship with them for years to come. Emeril Live will continue to air on the Food Network for about two more years, with premiere episodes throughout 2008, and I will continue to host ‘Essence of Emeril’ next year. We are also looking into some specials and other new development opportunities.

’Emeril Live’ has been a wonderful experience over the past ten years, and I’d just like to say how deeply appreciative I am to all the unbelievable staff — many who have been with the show since the beginning. I’d also like to thank the loyal viewers and fans, and the many talented guests who have appeared on the show through the years. It’s been such an incredible ride…but there is much more to come. I have lots of new ideas cooking…so please stay tuned!!
