Chef Emeril Lagasse to Open Restaurant in Gulfport, Mississippi

emeril-lagasse-new-gulport-mississippi-restaurant-11-21-2006.jpg Famed celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse is planning to open one of his signature restaurants at the Island View Casino in Gulfport, Mississippi. Lagasse will be treating his beloved fans to his famous cuisine at the New Orleans Fish House on the Gulf House next spring.

Emeril explained his interests in establishing a new restaurant in Gulfport, “In a million years - before the storm - I would never have said I would operate a restaurant on the Gulf Coast.”

“I just wasn’t interested. My father-in-law is in real estate. I had many opportunities to do this type of thing. I chose not to do it. After the storm and after being there many, many times, my wife, Alden, and I and my team in New Orleans felt we wanted to make a commitment to the Gulf Coast.”

With a home in nearby Pass Christian & his wife Alden from Gulfport, it makes sense that the famed chef would choose this coastal location for a culinary adventure.

The new Emeril restaurant will feature about 175 seats, with around 40 at a bar. Dinner entrees will range from $24 to $32, but will be open for late lunches as well, which is what I’ll be able to afford!

Wishing Lagasse the best in this new adventure, it’s great that we are keeping our attention on an area that still needs some loving help.

This mesasage is for Emeril,

I am a Mississippian. I would like to come to your resturant to sign my new book, sing one song from my new CD (”I Smile”). I would then like to donate parts of the proceeds for young people who need to go to school. These young people would qualify by being from Clarksdale and or Leland Mississippi. They must be young Blackl Males, as you know, “Homicide has become their own personal, Suicide”… “Homicide” is wiping out the African-American Race.

Please give me this opportunity to help.
