re: Emeril's Receives 2 Stars in Michelin South Guide

Sufficiently fed. Here is how ours went.

You are seated and a champagne cart appears. You can grab a glass of champagne or not. Then waiter takes your drink order. You are then taken into the kitchen where you get a first bite and are shown the produce and products that make up that days tasting menu.

Head back to table and the first selection of canapes is on the table and your drinks delivered. Another round of canapés. Then menus and discussion about the courses and such. Salmon cheesecake comes out, fish course, meat course, palate cleanser (snowball), dessert, and mignardises. Then with the bill a to go packet with cold brew cafe au lait, apple crumble tart, and signed menus of what you actually ordered (same move as TFL).

It’s expensive but it’s worth it and well done. And no one in city, state, or region comes close to that level.
