The Gentlemen’s Issuue

You probably recognize our cover star, Chef Emeril Lagasse, from his long-running television series and many outstanding US restaurants. But did you know his son, E.J., is also a world-class chef? At twenty-one years old, E.J. Lagasse is head of the kitchen at Emeril’s flagship restaurant in New Orleans, elevating the experience to one never before seen! The father-son duo made the perfect ambassadors for our Gentlemen’s Issue, and we can’t wait to see what they’ll do next. From “Bam!” to Bond to Breaking Bad, this issue is packed full of action, great food, celebrity-backed spirits brands, and compelling travel destinations. And if you’re looking for gift ideas to wow the men in your life, make sure you browse our C’est la VIE shopping guide and other highlights throughout the issue for apparel, wellness products, home decor, and more!
