Emeril cooked his brain [View all]

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

This guy needs to get out of the kitchen and see what is going on in the rest of the house.


"... you add all the Obama nonsense to what it’s become in the last several years. I don’t have anything against Mr. Obama. I’m just saying the way that, you know… the government should stay out of things. [...] Pretty soon, they’re going to wipe a lot of the middle restaurateurs and restaurant cooks. [...] If it continues, then watch: you’re going to have high-end, and you’re going to have fast food, and you’re going to have chain restaurants.”

The reason, Mr. Lagasse, restaurants like yours are failing is because most Americans pockets aren't deep enough to take one's family out to your restaurants. Place the blame in the right fry pan and give it a taste test before you splice and dice the President. And I agree with you, soon it will be only high-end eateries catering to the 3% , leaving the rest to the slop buckets . Sad to now think of going to a pizza buffet or a burger/fries joint as a luxury.
