I always enjoyed The Naked Chef Jamie Oliver but I have one of his cookbooks & most of his stuff is very complicated.

I know! Plus, if I ever served "Duckling Breast" I think I'd be beaten.

Oh, Jamie Oliver ROCKS in my book! I have two of his cookbooks (The Naked Chef Takes Off and Happy Days with the Naked Chef) and found nothing complicated about them. I've cooked several dishes of his without problem.

I also have two of Emeril's cookbooks (thanks to an inheritance from my grandmother) and find those complicated.

I live in NOLA and have never eaten at his restaurants. I doubt I'll ever have the chance. They seem too touristy to me.

I did eat at his fishhouse in Las Vegas inside the MGM Grand. It was surprisingly really good. I had pecan crusted red snapper w/a topping of showstring potatoes in this yummy sauce.

I have also eaten at Mesa Grill (Bobby Flay's restaurant) inside Caesars Palace. Absolutely delicious! Pricey but worth it.

I'd love to eat at one of those restaurants even if I'm not a personal fan, I bet the food is amazing
