After leaving Commander's, he opened his first restaurant, Emeril's, in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1990. It was designated Restaurant of the Year in Esquire magazine of that year. Lagasse is mainly known for his emphasis on Creole and Cajun cooking styles. After several appearances on several other FoodTV programs, Lagasse hosted his own show, The Essence of Emeril. Essence in the title refers to Emeril's Essence, the name of a spice blend of his own concoction that he frequently uses in his cooking.
