Emeril's Tchoup Chop

Frommer's Review

Perfection is pronounced "chop chop." Emeril Lagasse's second restaurant in Orlando is named for the location of his original restaurant, Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans. Think Todd English's bluezoo with an Asian Pacific twist -- very chic, very contemporary, very cool. The upbeat yet relaxing atmosphere, visually stunning surroundings, and excellent food will ensure the experience is unmatched. The exotic decor features glass flower chandeliers and a grand stone wall that reaches high above an exhibition kitchen (a seat at the counter allows for quite an impressive show). Polynesian- and Asian-influenced dishes such as macadamia nut-encrusted Atlantic salmon, Polynesian crab cakes with mango habanero butter sauce and papaya salsa, and ahi tuna lettuce wraps are just a sampling of the tasty offerings found here. And not one but several waiters impeccably cater to your every need, serving meals as if they were in a perfectly choreographed production. Note: The dress code here is more casual than at Emeril's (listed above), but it's still pretty upscale, so leave the T-shirts and tanks at home.
