You're right, other than Mario Batali (who is not doing new shows any longer, I don't think), not too many bona fide restaurant chefs on the FN.

Well, at least according to the press report, Emeril will still be on FN, it's the Emeril Live that is getting the axe. No doubt, he's getting older and this has got to be tiring, including all the other stuff he has going on.

Personally, I've found his style to be hard to stomach, and I can't cook like him, I'd be dead from a heart attack. But that is just me, obviously his personality has been a cash cow for him and the FN. FN seems to be going in the reality/travel/restaurant review route.
