Emeril is a terrific chef, all you have to do is go back to some early shows he did with Julia Child to see how knowledgeable he is. But, the format of his show is irritating. I can't stand the cut aways to the audience looking on in awe as he, say, cuts up some garlic, or pours some liquor into a pot.
My vote also goes to Good Eats as the most watchable and informative show.
By the way, if anyone wants to see what I look like, in February, Bobby Flay FoodNation is going to have a show on Houston that features a crawfish boil hosted by me in our backyard.
