At just 22, Chef E.J. Lagasse has led Emeril’s in New Orleans to 2 Michelin stars, becoming one of the youngest chefs to run a two-star kitchen. Bon Appétit spends a day on the line with E.J., who takes us behind the scenes of his 16-course tasting menu rooted in Creole and Cajun cuisine and how he is carrying on his family’s legacy, taking after his chef and restaurateur father, Emeril Lagasse.

I want to see his dark side, I want to see his arrogance with rage.

Bro has +99 Charisma
Dinning လာစာပါမယ် အားရင်
Burmese Fusion with Italy food or Spain food
I’m sure his father is very proud of him
Nepo baby sure but his own talents will only develop as he ages.
He definitely not a chef 😂😂😂😂
I hear Jacob Collier when he speaks
8:07 I could listen to her read the dictionary oh my goodness
Even at that age, he's quite brilliant without a trace of arrogance 😂🇬🇧
great
Talks WAY too fast!
Feels like i am watching a mafia tv show. The accent of the dude and the way he carries himself is so peculiar
Thought for sure he was gonna start thumping his chest and humming 😂
He looks like Julia Garner
You can be a “nepo baby,” but still be passionate and beyond capable even if it wasn’t pops name!
great entertaining vid woah
This guy talks as fast as John Oliver
22 with that confidence and charisma lovely
peak nepobaby
I mean the title is technically correct…
I've been there, wonderful experience
This is what generational wealth looks like. He is a seasoned chef. He maybe 22 but 50+ in exprience
i wonder if he knows the meme 67
decent food
No one eats this food and genuinely enjoys it.
Never trust a fast talker
Kinda sounds like an American jimmy carr
Michelin star kitchen is just that different
nothing tastes as sweet as nepotism
❤❤❤❤❤❤
My mans a stud
What a legacy
Dude does his dad proud. Well done.🎉
after the gulf of mexico disaster, how are louisiana shrimp now?
WOW
Are you sure he is 22?
Emily
Sounds just like dad without the Fall River accent!
Aww soooo cute! Just like his dad!
Bro is sharp❄️
HES SO HOT
there is a difference between a nepo baby and having a skillset embedded in your veins and nurtured with effort, this video showcases that difference
He’s got such an interesting accent, where did he grow up?
can we get him to reconsider his hairstyle pleaseeee
bro has special agent dale cooper vibes
that would be a tough one reporting to this young nepo baby.
NEED TO HIT THIS JOINT
