For chef Emeril Lagasse, food and family have always gone hand in hand. And this Father's Day, the 63-year-old father of four and grandfather of three is looking forward to celebrating with his own dad. "I have to work, so ending the day with a glass of wine and a simple meal together will be perfect," Emeril tells Woman's World. "I'm blessed to be able to spend every day with my father, Emeril John Lagasse Jr. he's 94 years old and still opens the restaurant for me. He inspires me and, hey, I'm just blessed he's still here."
Emeril is also delighted that his son, Emeril John Lagasse IV, aka EJ, has followed in his footsteps and is now a chef at Emeril's, the flagship restaurant in New Orleans. Together, the duo is excited to soon be opening a new Portuguese-inspired eatery, also in The Big Easy.
"We have such a great relationship, which is a blessing," Emeril explains with a smile. "We collaborate well together and we both have a lot of Portuguese in our blood, so when we open our new place, I know we'll do it right!"
Still, like many in the culinary business, Emeril has faced his share of storms. "We've been through tough times, with Hurricane Katrina and then COVID," he says. "We were forced to close eight restaurants, and unfortunately, we had to let a lot of people go."
Through it all, Emeril did what he does best: kept an open heart. "The lesson was to be persistent, patient and try to be a good human being," he shares. "When you do that, good things come." Here, his tips for enjoying Father's Day, and every day, with good food and a full heart.
