Party Drinks Tips
If your guests like dark beer, stock up on Emeril Lagasse's favorite, New Orleans' own Abita Turbodog. If they prefer a lighter brew, try Abita Restoration Pale Ale instead. You will not only enjoy a great tasting beer, but you will help Hurricane Katrina victims as well; Abita donates $1.00 from each six-pack sold to the Louisiana Disaster Fund.
New Orleans is famous for inventing the cocktail, so toast Emeril Lagasse's birthday with a NOLA classic like a Hurricane or a Pimm's Cup. If you really want to kick it up a notch, pop open a bottle of champagne!
Party Music Tips
Jazz up your playlist with standards like Louis Armstrong's "When the Saints Go Marching In" and Preservation Hall Jazz Band's "Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans." Sprinkle some Cajun spice like Zachary Richard's "Jolie Blon" and Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys' "King Zydeco." Don't forget NOLA classics like Irma Thomas' "It's Raining" and Fats Domino's "Walking to New Orleans." And give it up for Doc Gibbs by spinning his Servin' It Up Hot CD.
Party Games Tips
Each March, in New Orleans' French Quarter, there is a Stella shouting contest in honor of writer Tennessee Williams, and indirectly, Marlon Brando, who famously screamed "Stellaaaaaa!" in A Streetcar Named Desire. Try a twist on this idea for your Emeril Lagasse celebrity birthday party. Have guests compete for best "Bam!" honors, and give the winner a gift basket of Emeril sauces and spices. For a special treat, hire an Emeril Lagasse impersonator to entertain your guests.
