I've just come to realize that he annoys me. His delivery is obnoxious. He sounds like the stereotypical rude parking attendant in a Northeastern CBD. Is his accent Northeast or New Orleans? Isn't it a little thick? What is his ethnic background?

If I can only stand 2 minutes, max, how do people endure an entire show? Do you like watching/listening to him, or is it a little over the top?

BAM!!!

He sounds like a ganster!

But I dig him!! He was the first to make guys feel that cooking was a cool and masculine thing to do.

True about the cool and masculine thing. I wonder how much of it is overkill, though, the same way that Joan Rivers keeps her delivery revved up. Richard Simmons he is NOT, that's for sure. Still, I can't handle listening to him for too long, the same way Joy Behar gets on my nerves in no time.

Yeah, this is definitely worse:

Emeril is from Faul River Mass, Home of Lizzy Borden.
He is of portuguese heritage. He did kind of make it seem "cool" for a man to embrace cooking.

That makes sense. I had heard New Orleans. A lot of cooking means a lot of cleaning and most men don't like to clean the kitchen.

Last I saw him on TV, it seemed like he gained a lot of weight. How's he looking these days?

His personality irritates me but have you ever made his recipes? I have made many and they always come out good!

The kitchen? Where's that? I've just seen him while channel surfing.

Haha, the kitchen is my favorite place to be with a glass of wine and music blaring while I cook
