Maslow’s hierarchy of needs shows us that the first need humans require is physiological: breathing, water, sleep, and above all, food. Food is at the center of all basic human need. With family recipes, online blogs, and television shows, we always have immediate access to the best food around. And yes, we could just order take-in, go to a restaurant, or eat microwavable food, but hey, we’re here to talk about extraordinary food. Mainly, the Food Network and the incredible chefs they feature. We’re talking a look at the biggest Food Network stars and what they’ve been up to since their first gig on the network. ~We challenge you not to eat while reading this post!~
Emeril Lagasse – The Essence of Emeril
After completing culinary school, Emeril Lagasse opened up his first restaurant in 1990 in New Orleans. Just a few years later and he’s a familiar face on Food Network. Plus it didn’t take him long to have his own shows on the network, Emeril’s Essence and Emeril Live. Apart from TV, Emeril has an empire of products and restaurants. And we’re pretty sure no one can beat his catchphrases!
Jamie Oliver – The Naked Chef
As a kid in his parent’s restaurant, British chef Jamie Oliver had already found his calling in life. At 16, he attends Westminister Catering College and gains tons of experience while working at loads of reputable restaurants. Oliver got big break when appearing on a TV documentary while working at the River Café in London. That was all it took to make Jamie Oliver a household name. And let’s not forget his popular cooking show, The Naked Chef. Since then, Oliver has published many cookbooks and has plenty of restaurants running. Since the 2000’s, he has been an ambassador for healthy eating – especially for children’s school in America and England.
