Talking Watches With Culinary Icon Emeril Lagasse

In my mind growing up, Emeril Lagasse made the Food Network. His was the star that shined the brightest in the world of celebrity chefs back in the '90s and early 2000s. And for the longest time, I dreamed of eating at one of his restaurants. It soon became clear that Emeril is a restauranteur and a chef first, a TV star second, and a seasoned watch collector third.

its nice to see Emeril raised a polite, humble young man. Good spirited people.

This is what Hodinkee needs to be about. Fantastic job by Cole Pennington

[LukeLacetera]

Would love to see Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. All have sported many great watches along their journeys across the globe. Jeremys Planet Ocean is a personal fave

The coolest thing about Emeril’s watches are they have been worn hard. Great interview as always.

Cole lifted this beyond an interview to a conversation. The art of conversation is rare these days. Loved this episode.

Emerald has it all. Down to earth, approachable, wealthy, and a beautiful family. Good for him!! Glad to see his son is a reflection of him. And the watches tie it all together.

One of the best talking watches episodes for a long time! Being from the UK, and having spent much of the last decade in the extreme eastern part of Europe, I'd never heard of Emeril Lagasse, but what an amazing, passionate, and family-orientated man he is (I've no doubt that he and his son are incredible chefs!) with Cole Pennington being the perfect choice of presenter in this instance.

The relationship between the father and son is nothing short of a magical symphony! What a beautiful video! Thank you @hodinkee

[mikekingsborough]

I thoroughly enjoy listening to and watching Cole interview others and talk about watches. He's so calm, respectful, and deliberate with every single word while understanding/identifying the intangibles, sentiments, and greater story/narrative. Well done, sir!

I love the misaligned bezel on the hulk really just shows how a diver is such a perfect tool in the kitchen

Probably my favorite Talking Watches yet. Emeril is a true legend, and EJ seems like a wonderful young man; looking forward to seeing his career flourish.

[watchmunch]

I love Emeril. Been watching his shows for 30 years, since I arrived to the USA 🇺🇸 Thank you for your service Chef Legasse. For my family you are the legend.

What a shot at 26:13 with Emeril's Hulk and EJ's OP... Fantastic.

The greatest measure of success in my opinion is how your kid or kids turn out to be. It looks like Emeril Lagasse is not only a great Chef and business owner ; but also a great father. What an outstanding job he has done with his son. That’s somebody you would want to work for . Fantastic episode, with some nice watches, nice people and interesting stories behind the watches .

[iannater]

Love to see how used these watches are. This has gotta be one of the first episodes where more than half the watches have scratches on the crystals.

[aintnomeaning]

This is so great, you can tell he is a great dad who inspires his son. The young man seems like a hard worker, and great communicator.

[brunomendonca]

Such a nice episode. Two collections in one episode and two really nice guys!

[NapoleonSuarez]

I started my own business in 2015 and I have a three year old son. I have had dreams of me gifting him the first Rolex that I ever bought and also of him working with me one day. Seeing this episode really hit me different and it's incredibly refreshing to see someone really living out the dream. Salute!

[Geore]

What I enjoyed about this episode was that father and son's passion for watches shined through so brightly that people around them thanked them by sending them watches as a sign of appreciation and for the excellent service they provided, which tightly couples the story to the watch. But the most critical part of this episode is the incredible father-son bond.

[BandrewScott]

Bam! Now that was a fantastic episode! Loved seeing emerill! You’ve got the nostalgia train running with the 90s episode and now having Emerill on. Keep up the fantastic content!
