LAS VEGAS? This week Eater Las Vegas interviews Emeril about expanding to Vegas with Sammy Haggar, and what to expect from Season 11 of Top Chef. Lagasse says, "What I tell people is if you can understand the culture, you can understand the food. If you understand the food, you can understand the people. That's what Top Chef is going to get being in New Orleans this year." [-ELV-]
