  • It will cease production on Dec. 11.

    He's been doing it for 10 years. They will continue Essence of Emeril and he'll take part in specials and such.

    I can't say I'm disappointed. I don't watch his show everyday but I love it when he does things for the troops.
  • Honestly, I have to say, the show has gotten old. I stopped watching it a long time ago. Plus, I'm sure he could use the time off, he has two young children that I'm sure he'd like to spend more time with.
  • I think it was getting a little "tired" too. I didn't enjoy hearing the same old cliche's over and over.
    I love the way he cooks, though!
  • Honestly, never got into his shows....he just didn't "capture" my attention overly much...however, his products, especially his sausages, are to die for! I wish the grocery stores would stock more of it.
  • I loved him in the beginning, but they way overdid it. It became the Emeril Network

    Why don't they cancel Sandra Lee?
  • Suzanne - SERIOUSLY.
  • I thought I was the only one that felt that way about her shows.
  • I could do without Emeril and Sandra Lee! Actually, I'm not a fan of Paula Dean either. My favorite is the Barefoot Contessa.
  • Oh my gosh, i thought i was the only one that Sandra made BARF and i have never made anything of hers that was good. She may have gone to culinary school but i find it hard to believe she "graduated" from it.
  • The Barefoot Contessa ROCKS!!! My favorite ...

    Emeril is a sweet person, and I love him and the way he cooks. He's brilliant, but I got tired awhile ago of his "bamming" and too-cutesy mannerisms so it's time for someone new in that slot.

    I used to slam Sandra Lee all the time ... but I can't do it anymore now that I've read a little of what's in her biography. You have to admire her for just walking around! Talk about a hellish childhood ...
  • I don't know anyone who actually likes Sandra Lee's show. I mean, she doesn't cook, she dresses up things from the store and then makes a cocktail. I didn't know she had a bad childhood though.

    On the subject of food shows, I LOVE Nigella Lawson's cookbooks, but her show is dull. Her personality comes across better in her books.
  • Emeril needs to go on a diet!
  • I don't watch foodnetwork that much anymore, but when I do, it's usually Good Eats with Alton Brown.
  • Hi,
    I think alot of the Food network shows are geared towards the working family.. quick meals ex... Rachel Ray...
    I agree Emeril has gotten boring, I don't like alot of his food, some just doesn't look appetizing.
    I like some of Rache Ray's meals , there is this new women... who has a show for light and healthy meals, I like her, but most of the Food network shows just aren't for me.. A women who doesn't eat red meat/poultry , likes to try ethnic foods, and is looking for healthy , light recipes.

    That's my favorite show too! Does anyone watch Top Chef on Bravo? I love that show.
