Somebody ought to teach this moron how to pronounce words
before he goes on TV and makes a fool of himself.
Today he's trying to pronounce kaffir (lime leaves),
as Kye-fer.
I can begin to count how many times I've heard him mis-
pronounce words.
He's also using the tough part of the lemongrass as well,
even after he warned people that it's really fibrous.
<sigh>

He was born and raised in eastern Massachusetts, in a
community of first and second generation immigrants,
where people naturally "Tawk funny." Some of us got over
it. He hasn't.

This isn't a accent thang, though. He just doesn't know how
to pronounce common culinary words. He pronounces plenty of
other words correctly, that have the same sounds.
Why don't the technical producers rehearse the big words
with him? It happens constantly. or does he do this on
porpoise because he knows his audience is do clueless
and gullible?

That one I can understand, though an alleged profession
should know better.

He certainly does a number on the English language. As
if his pronunciation is not bad enough, his grammar is
even worse.
Far as I can tell said:I can begin to count how many times I've heard him mis-

As long as he can pronounce "BAM" correctly, he can afford
to pronounce everything else pretty much any way he damned
well pleases.

And both pale in comparison to his cooking ability which is
about zip.

He makes several MILLION dollars a year pronouncing things
the way he wants.
Let me repeat; MILLIONS.
Anyone here in rfc doing better?

He's a friggin' Chef not an English Professor! It's his
style... You think Justin Wilson spoke proper English?

No. I have to admit that I'm only up to a couple of million
a year pronouncing things the way *I* want.

If your job is teaching the public your profession, it's
your responsibility to do it properly.
If he realty was competent in his profession, he'd *know*
that he's not pronouncing these words correctly.

Who said anything about teaching? Emeril's job is that of
*entertaining* not teaching...

How does pronouncing a dish incorrectly prevent someone from
preparing it correctly?

Well admittedly I don't have 50 young chefs working behind
the scenes to make me look good.

It's both. If it was just entertaining, then it wouldn't be
about cooking, would it?

They go hand in hand. If you can't see the correlation, then
I don't have the patience to explain it to you.

He's a chef, not an english lit major. Who cares?

Of course not...hence the periodic threads stemming from
envy....and so obvious too.

His job isn't teaching. His job is to bring people to the
conclusion that
they too can cook. I know people like you have a problem
with the masses
being able to do what you hold yourself so highly for...but
the fact is,
alot of people are afraid of cooking when they don't need to
be. His job is
also to entertain...which his banking account can attest to
his prowess in.

In other words, what you're saying is "I don't have an
intelligent reply, so I'll fluff it and hope you don't
notice".

You think he makes 3+ million a year doing his shows? I
think you're way off. He's not a movie star, and hardly in
demand by any other networks. Look at his sitcom, for
example, and his very short-lived TV commercial for
toothpaste (lasted 3 weeks).
