Emeril Lagasse Show Sunday To Feature Pensacola On The Cooking Channel
March 15, 2013
On Sunday, celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse will feature restaurants in Pensacola on his Cooking Channel show Emeril’s Florida.
“This unique series, hosted by Chef Emeril, gives viewers the chance to experience some of the best food Florida has to offer,” said Carol Dover, president and CEO of the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association. “We believe this show will motivate people across the country to visit Florida and taste the state’s vibrant flavors at our wonderful restaurants.”
Emeril begins this week’s show at McGuire’s Irish Pub in Pensacola. He then heads to The Fish House restaurant and samples their various dishes. At Joe Patti’s Seafood, Frank Patti gives him a tour and shares tips on buying fish. Finally, Emeril and his son EJ head to Pensacola Beach, taking a ride on the observation wheel as well as sampling local seafood.
“He was very nice; he was in front of me getting some Beignets,” said Felicia Amerson of Walnut Hill. Amerson and her husband Alex bumped into Lagasse at Joe Patti’s as he filmed his show back in October. “He turned around, and I said ‘OMG’ I’m your biggest fan, can I have a picture with you. He said sure we gotta hurry cause I’ve got a lot of work to do.”
The show airs Sunday, March 17th, at 9:30 a.m. on the Cooking Channel, and again on Monday, March 18th, at 8:30 a.m.

When Emeril was filming in Pensacola, my son and his bride had just arrived at the hotel in Pensacola and he took a picture with them while they were still in their wedding attire. They said he was so very nice. Looking forward to watching the episode.
This is cool and William is giving a lot more info than what I just read on PNJ. Too bad Emeril didn’t get to Chet’s and try their Sheepshead (I had that yesterday) or to Sam’s (I had their mullet special-grilled today) Umm Umm, good!
The food in Pensacola is so wonderful! How lucky Felicia was to bump into him, & the pic is great , he just looks so people friendly. Can’t wait to watch the show.
Okay that is just cool. My husband is Air Force and we are currently stationed in Alaska. We are always reading North Escambia to keep up with the news back home. It’s nice to read something like this. We miss the good food down there so much. Nice for Emeril to showcase Pensacola like that!
