Emeril Lagasse Foundation Announces $20,000 Grant for NOCCA in Honor of Emeril’s 20th Anniversary

On Friday March 26th, Emeril will host a special anniversary reception to mark the grand opening of his namesake restaurant on March 26, 1990 – and the start of his restaurant company. In honor of this milestone, Emeril Lagasse Foundation will provide a $20,000 grant for a culinary arts summer education program at New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) – Louisiana’s arts conservatory. The two-week intensive session is a pilot program in a partnership between Emeril’s foundation and Johnson & Wales University for a four-year culinary arts curriculum for high school students.
