I think you got it Mama. That sounds more like it than the recipe Emeril had on Food Network which wasn't quite right.

 

[Mama]

I'm not a big fan of Emeril. I went to his restaurant here in Atlanta and was VERY disappointed. It's since gone out of business.

It is funny too, my middle son is married to a real fan of his (she doesn't cook) and for their 10th wedding anniversary they booked him to cater a private party in Orlando. At any rate my wife and I drove up from West Palm and attended. All I can say is the man can cook and he cooked it himself with the aid of a couple of helpers. He also came out after dinner and joined the group and is pretty much what you see on TV. He has a great sense of humor and doesn't over rate himself which I was a bit surprised by since I've dealt with celebrities in the past as a body guard. All in all I was pretty impressed with him and have tried a few of his recipes that I liked though many are things I would never make. I also know he rarely cooks any more except on TV and don't ask what it cost my son as I have no idea. He could afford it at the time and I doubt I ever could.
