Y'all might have already seen it, but here's a wonderful article by Emeril Lagasse from a couple of years ago:

I screwed up the for the second time today.
The article is by Pableaux Johnson, not Emeril Lagasse.
Lagasse is the last quote in the article:
"He's been a hero of mine for years. He's a smart man, he's a great cook, he's a smart business guy. It's unfortunate that he hasn't been able to find someone to take over for him. But that would be pretty hard for somebody to do, because it's so personal for him and Gail. And so we'll end up losing a great institution. It'll be a sad day." -- Emeril Lagasse
