This Chef Is the Youngest Ever to Run a 2-Michelin-Star Restaurant | On The Line | Bon Appétit
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.

First!
Bon Appétit never misses. The way you capture the intensity, precision, and creativity inside real kitchens is insane
What a delicacy yummy 😋😅
I'm only two minutes in but this is the most compelling On The Line I've seen so far. Chef EJ's personality is infectious!
I used to enjoy Michelin dining.
