Well, Passions went off today, and as I don't normally watch Montel (because he's just a little crazy), I channel surfed for a bit.  I turned it to Food Network and saw that Emeril was doing Tartare stuff.  I thought, "Well, this should be more interesting than some crazy transvestite saying that s/he can see ghosts."  So, I tuned in.

I wish I hadn't.  I thought that Emeril would at least cook the steak a little, but to my horror, all he did was grind it up.  How absoulutely DISGUSTING.  To make it even worse, he scored the raw-meat patty, made a little well in the middle and, ladies and gentlemen I kid you not, put a raw egg yolk in the well.  No, seriously, that's what he did.  Then he garnished it with some Dijon mustard, some kind of greens, chopped parsley, red onion and capers.  As if all that was supposed to make the raw meat look any better.  RAW MEAT.  How incredibly gross. 

One thing I noticed that was a bit FUNNY is that Emeril did NOT take a bite of anything of this tartare crap.  I don't know if that's customary for him to not take bites of his food, but I noticed that he didn't touch it after he was done presenting it. 

It's not how Emeril's looked exactly - the only difference is that Emeril's RAW EGG YOLK wasn't as big. 

Still, nasty.
