Emeril's Pumpkin Soup

You think you know Pumpkin Soup inside and out, and then Emeril comes along and makes his chunky, uses allspice, and throws fried sage on top. Showing vegans how to spice up their root vegetables since '93. Thanks to Emeril & Food Network for the tv cookery mastery that is Emeril Live!

Emeril's Peanut Noodles

This Asian style dish, with spaghetti noodles(!), makes me think of starving artists/college students trying to whip up something with whatever's lying around the cupboards. I love it.

Emeril's Potato Salad

Emeril Lagasse totally upped the ante when it came to television cookery. He's really, really good at it. Plus, he had a HOUSE BAND. Wanna see him do an impersonation of a pervert picking an avocado? You got it at 1:10.
