Emeril Lagasse - Pho Tau Bay
Emeril Lagasse, known for his lively personality and having coined the phrase "Bam!" on the Food Network Channel has a weak spot for yummy Vietnamese food. He once told Food & Wine Magazine: "I am crazy for Vietnamese food—there's a large Vietnamese population in New Orleans—and this is my favorite spot. It's a small, busy restaurant on the west bank. When I go, I chat with the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Takacs, and order grilled pork spring rolls and pho ga, with chicken and rice noodles. They also have amazing banh mi—Vietnamese po'boys."
