Emeril’s Delmonico 1300 St. Charles Ave., 525-4937

The Times-Picayune’s Top Restaurant Picks

The new classics
Seriously great food
Sunday, October 24, 2004
By Brett Anderson
Restaurant critic

In 1997, when he officially took over Delmonico, which first opened in 1895, Emeril was essentially trying to do what the Brennans did when they acquired Commander’s Palace (est. 1880) in 1974: preserve an important New Orleans restaurant by restoring the luster it once had. Delmonico is arguably the most grandiose of all New Orleans restaurants, a bi-level sanctuary of old world elegance and canonical dishes abetted by such modern amenities as heirloom beans, rib-eyes dry-aged on the premises, burrata mozzarella you can eat with a spoon, pork from pure-bred Berkshire pigs, well-traveled sommeliers. If this is really how things used to be, here’s hoping more restaurants today can become like they were back then.

Emeril Lagasse combines exotic South Seas flavors with a touch of jazz in this luxurious resort restaurant.

The Scene
Lagasse’s second Orlando outpost is hidden in the depths of family-friendly Royal Pacific resort and made up like a lush cavern. A very long, gurgling lily pond surrounded by low booths runs through the center. Subdued strains of Dixie jazz are juxtaposed with the nouveau tiki decor to create an unmistakable atmosphere.

The Food
The kitchen tweaks a number of Pacific Rim standards (crispy whole fish, pork variations), adding enough sides to turn most dishes into platters. Starters such as Polynesian crab cakes with ginger-scallion and papaya salsa appetizers deftly blend mildly sweet seafood and spiced fruit. The wok produces at least two successes–snapper with Asian pesto and Gulf shrimp and smoked ham-vegetable-noodle combo. The famous banana-cream pie slice is rich, piled high with fruit and large enough for two people.

EMERIL’S TCHOUP CHOP OPENS AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO’S ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT ORLANDO, FL

(January 27, 2003) — The world’s newest Emeril’s restaurant opens today at Universal Orlando’s Royal Pacific Resort. The new restaurant is called Emeril’s Tchoup Chop (pronounced chop-chop), and features Asian and Polynesian cuisine complemented by Emeril’s signature bold flavors. Emeril’s Tchoup Chop takes its name from Tchoupitoulas Street, where Emeril’s original restaurant is located, and the word, “chop,” a bold culinary term. Tchoup Chop is Emeril’s second restaurant in Orlando. Emeril’s Restaurant Orlando, opened at Universal Orlando’s CityWalk in February 1999.
