Come May, Chef Emeril Lagasse will hit the road and pay tribute to ‘The Originals’ – iconic food establishments that have helped shape the country’s culinary landscape and stood the test of time. Lagasse’s new prime time series debuts on Food Networks sibling Cooking Channel Thursday, May 5 at 10:30p ET. The 13 episodes find Emeril in NY, LA, Chicago, San Fran, Boston, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami and of course his beloved New Orleans where he’ll reveal Charlie Chaplin’s favorite 1920’s Hollywood hangout, Dr. Martin Luther King’s preferred Atlanta dining spot and the birthplace of famous dishes like Boston Cream Pie and French Dip Sandwich. My mouth is watering.
