All three of Emeril's New Orleans restaurant have summer specials this year. The prices are the same at each--$45 for four courses--but the menus differ entirely. Also available is a wine-pairing option for this special menu for $25. Here's the summer menu for Delmonico, the most traditional of the Emeril trio:
Confit Pork Cheek

Gulf Shrimp Ceviche
Coconut milk, lime and plantain chips
~~~~~
New Orleans "Guappo" Salad

Watermelon and Delmonico Prosciutto Salad

The only two asterisks that attach to the above say that you can't get this deal for a private banquet, and that the menu may change as summer wears on.
