Emeril-Kicked-Up-Sandwiches

If you ever have a chance to meet Emeril, I highly suggest you do. He is one of the NICEST people I have ever met. Plus, the man can throw down in the kitchen and if you get a chance to see him cook live, you will walk away with a ton of culinary inspiration. I was hoping that he would visit the Philly area for a book signing for his latest cookbook, Kicked Up Sandwiches. Sadly, Philly is not on his tour schedule, but New York City and Orlando are.
