[title type="h3"]Emeril's Is 25, And Celebrating With Nostalgic Menus.[/title]
This summer marks a quarter-century of taking care of business at Emeril's. Think back: it was hard to get a reservation, all the diners were locals, and Emeril himself was there. (Because he wasn't a television personality yet.)
To celebrate this milestone, Emeril's flagship restaurant on Tchoupitoulas and Julia has a series of special menus, made of dishes that were popular when the restaurant first opened. The prices, unfortunately, do not revert to the back pages. Still, it's interesting. Here's what's going on this week:Amuse bouche
Creole corn cakes, choupique caviar, chive crème fraîche
Potatoes Alexa $14
Twice baked new potatoes, truffle emulsion, parmesan, chive
Shrimp Remoulade Parfait $14
Avocado, tomato, shaved lettuces
Lobster and Corn Chowder $14
Fried Oyster Salad $13
Frisée, arugula, Pernod dressing, house cured bacon
Blue Cheese Glazed Filet Mignon $44
Roasted new potatoes, haricots verts, house cured bacon, Emeril’s worcestershire sauce
Gulf Fish En Papillote $36
Cane Syrup and Pecan Bread Pudding $8
Espresso anglaise
Goat Cheesecake $9
Preserved orange sauce
This program will continue for the next three weeks, with a new menu every week.
