Banana Cream Pie @ Emeril's
When Emeril's first opened in 1990, it enjoyed the services of a pastry chef who went by the name of Mr. Lou. He came with Emeril from Commander's, and stayed a few more years until he retired. The banana cream pie served Emeril's was a collaboration between Emeril and Mr. Lou. It is insanely rich, with nearly a quart of heavy whipping cream in every pie. Not something to eat often, but a fantastic treat when you do. [caption id="attachment_18370" align="alignleft" width="400"]
