The Sun Herald | 11/20/2006 | Emeril on the Coast

The Sun Herald | 11/20/2006 | Emeril on the Coast: "Celebrity chefs are a new trend on the Coast, with three now lending their name and cachet to Coast restaurants:

• Luke Palladino opened Bragozzo at Isle of Capri in October.

• Todd English will open Olives at Beau Rivage in December.

• Emeril Lagasse will open New Orleans Fish House on the Gulf Coast at Island View Casino in spring 2007.

Emeril Lagasse understands the healing power of good food and plans to heap it on the Coast by opening one of his signature restaurants in Gulfport.

He is the third celebrity chef - and arguably the most famous yet - to announce plans for a casino restaurant since the rebirth of the gambling industry. Emeril's New Orleans Fish House on the Gulf Coast will open next spring at the Island View Casino. With a home in Pass Christian and a wife from Gulfport, the Coast was his haven before Hurricane Katrina, not a place to do business."
