Hi,
Emeril is "not a has been" and that is why he took control and decided that he didn't want to be apart of Food network any longer. Food Networks fan base as a whole is declining.
Food network has gotten rid of all professional chefs, Emeril, Mario, Tony, etc. They want reality shows which cost nothing to make and produce.
There whole concept of cooking and entertainment has changed and so has there audience.
On the other hand Martha and Emeril both stand for basic good cooking and no nonesense. That whole channel is picking up the audience base that Food Network has cast aside and I am sure it will do nothing but grow.
I know that in these tough times it certainly has helped Emeril recoup financially. Emeril has taken a beating with the hurricane, (fixing all his eateries, homes and not to mention moving employees and their familes to Florida and Atlanta). Now he has had to close the Atlanta eatery.
Emeril had to recoup his empire along with his career. This is a great chance for him to really do what he believes in and what he wants to do. He has always been about the food and organic.
You may not like Martha being his partner but this looks like a good choice for Emeril when you look at the whole picture.
So think about it and don't be so upset, I know Emeril is laughing all the way to the bank. I know he certainly has a whole lot less stress!!!!!!
