Bam! or Kick it up a knotch!

I'm not much of a celebrity watcher, unless it has to do with food. So I learned today that Emeril Lagasse has purchased two properties in Sandestin (recently married to someone in the Lovelace family?). Now this may be old news to super celeb sleuths so if so I apologize for being late with the news.

Also a rumor that he will be doing a demo at Gerard's in Baytowne sometime soon.:roll:

i liked him a lot better when he wasn't so popular. when he first opened his place at the mgm grand in vegas we stopped by to buy a plate, and he happened to be there. he came out and signed the plate and talked to us for a good bit, seemed surprised someone was buying his stuff. ... wonder if he's still like that ?

 

[DD]

I still like him. And his restaurants are great. I hope he's still nice.

We had dinner at Emeril's in the MGM in '97 and it was very good. Also at NOLA. We still have not been to Delmonicos in N.O. which is reputed to be quite good.

Been to the MGM and Orlando. Both excellent...

delmonico's at the venetian was hands down the best meal we had ever had - until we went to the copper grill last fall in destin - oh my god !

 

[drsvelte]

Tell about the Copper Grill. We've thought about it but heard it is kind of touristy & show as opposed to food quality.

Someone told me that the Copper Grill was a MUST but I haven't tried it yet.

we had an excellent meal there, the steaks were cooked to perfection, we had a sampler platter for a side that had 5 different things on it. the appletini's were to die for, mr audie had tiramisu for dessert that he said was wonderful, and the service was also excellent. kinda expensive but much better than the marlin grille in baytowne.

Delmonico and the Copper Grill mentioned in the same breath just aint right. Please stop
