Cobalt Restaurant and Meeting Emeril Lagasse

A few weeks ago I took my parents to Cobalt Restaurant to celebrate their 27th. Wedding Anniversary. We have been to Cobalt several times, each time the food was wonderful. Typically when we visit I get the burger with a side of cheese risotto, the cheese risotto is the best I have ever had. My parents have had the shrimp and grits, fresh fish, and Tournedos of Beef. Since it was a special occasion Mom had Tournedos of Beef which is twin medallions of beef tenderloin stacked on top of fried mash potato cakes with greens and fried oysters to top it off. My Dad had shrimp and fresh fish, then I tried the wood fired pizza which was amazing. The restaurant also brought out a cupcake to celebrate their anniversary, my parents choose the tiramisu cupcake which was surprisingly good.
While we were eating we noticed the table across from us had a familiar face, at first I just passed if off as someone who looked a lot like Emeril Lagasse but then as the meal went on we realized it actually was him. Emeril was incredibly nice and as we chatted it was evident to see why he is so popular, what a great guy, not to mention a awesome chef, BAM!!
