I Love To Cook; That's My Passion.

I Was On The Board Of Andre Agassi's Foundation, And Seeing The Way It Operated Blew My Mind. In 2002, I Told My Wife, I Want To Start A Foundation To Give Back, I Want It To Be For Kids In Hard Circumstances, And I Want It To Be Culinary-driven, Because That's Who I Am.

I Love To Cook; That's My Passion.

I Started Cooking When I Was About 10. I Have Memories Like When I Was 6 Or 7 With My Mom, And When I Was 12 I Started Getting Real Serious About Cooking.

I Launched The Emeril Lagasse Foundation To Provide Culinary Training, And Developmental And Educational Programs To Children In The Cities Where My Restaurants Operate. I Think Everyone Has A Responsibility To Give Back To The Community If They Can, And To Help Future Generations Learn New Skills.
