No More Emeril

by Eliza Ferree

Emeril Live

In case ya haven’t heard “Emeril Live” will be leaving the air waves soon. But it is true the Food Network is planning on pulling the plug on the guy just weeks before Christmas. December 11, is the actual date of the last showing. Emeril Live has actually ran for over ten years now and has made some great recipes in the meantime. It’ll be sad to watch this show go, but maybe they’ll have something else for us. In the meantime there will be chefs like Rachel Ray and many others. Don’t think that just because the show will no longer be with the network that Emeril won’t, he plans on showing up on other shows.

Why? Why is Emeril Live ending? Were they afraid that this man would encourage Americans to fill up on food, increasing their bustsizes? Or was it because he got too popular? As soon as America caught wind of the now famous chef, Emeril Lagasse news spread like wildfire. Everyone wanted in on the “BAM!” Recipes tasted better than before, he was interesting and added pizzaz to the channel. But now they no longer want him. What will become of him? My guess is he could make his own channel and probably keep the same audience he has now, or maybe make a few products and write more books.

No one knows exactly why the Food Network is putting out his fire. Who knows maybe they are all in agreement and there is something bigger for us.
