Warm traditions from the Big Easy

Entertain your guests with favorites from the Big Easy like Italian sausage Po' Boys, romaine hearts salad and southern-style corn chowder.

Guests will think you're hiding a chef in the kitchen when they dig into this menu. You'll be surprised how quickly you can prepare these recipes — the key is to get all your ingredients organized and ready to use before you start.

Po' Boys are New Orleans style hero sandwiches. These, created by Emeril Lagasse, are the centerpiece of a delicious, casual meal. It's worth a trip to the bakery to get the best hero style buns you can find.

Emeril's luxurious Southern Style Corn Chowder takes about an hour to make, but tastes like you've been cooking all day. This is a classic Emeril-style recipe made much easier with boxed chicken stock.

Romaine Hearts Salad adds a lighter note to this menu, complementing the hearty sandwiches and chowder.
