A Note from Emeril:
We have had an overwhelming response from people since we reopened Emeril’s and NOLA in December 2005. We are very grateful to our local customers, and are happy to welcome back out of town guests who are visiting New Orleans to help support our city and our local economy. This fall, I hope to reopen my third restaurant, Emeril’s Delmonico, which was heavily damaged from the storm.
