In TV today we are starting to see a lot of reality TV programs like wife swap, police and customs shows, beach rescue TV programs, survivor island type programs, celebrity love shows as well as bachelor and matchmaking TV. There are shows about building a house in the country as well as buying the perfect home or just renovating yours. These TV shows are at least a little bit helpful to the people watching them rather than just being a cheap laugh. Another great line of TV programs that have come about recently are the cooking programs which have celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver and so many others. Emeril Lagasse is another one of these well known celebrity chefs who turn out to be very common house hold names that everyday people can relate too. Emeril is not only a world class chef but is also a restaurant owner, author and TV host.

The Food Network Show as well as Emeril Live is two very popular programs on the cable TV networks as well as many other TV networks around the world. It was his BAM catch phrase that started his revolution and began the almost cult following of his cooking shows and food handling techniques. Emeril’s collection of restaurants, media and other working projects nets him around US$150 million each year in revenue. This is not too bad for somebody you originally did a trade skill however if Tim the Toolman Taylor could do it with a fake cable TV show then why can’t chefs do it too. There have already been shows about plumbing and building so why not cooking which is useful to so many more people who are watching. Emeril has a reputation of being one of the best chefs in the business along with many of the other celebrity chefs.
