EMERIL SITCOM: HOLLYWOODS BEST CATERED SET
LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) Critics havent been kind to the new NBC sitcom, Emeril, but showbiz insiders say it deserves honors for having the best-catered set in showbiz. TV chef Emeril Lagasse says that while he doesnt actually cook for the entire crew, he has given the shows caterer ideas for meals which probably wouldnt stand muster with the skinny-minnies on Ally McBeal: Lunch on the Emeril set includes dishes like crispy catfish; macaroni and cheese and collard greens. Emeril also says all the food seen on the show is real and theres an on-set chef to help prepare food for scenes. And although some sitcoms might settle for prop food, Emeril says he wont because even though the TV audience will never the taste the meals, hes sure they can tell the difference. Emeril airs Tuesdays on NBC.
