 Are Tyler and Emeril really J&W grads? I know this is sort of a weird question but I'm trying to win a bet. Does anyone know if Tyler Florence and/or Emeril Lagasse really graduated from Johnson & Wales. I know that they were both bestowed 'honorary doctorates' from J&W...but did they actually complete a culinary program? Any info would be helpful.... Thanks.  |

| conflicting information Gabby, Thanks so much for the info. I did see those articles in a web search but another article never really stated clearly if the degrees that these 2 people received from J&W were both a culinary degree AND/OR the honorary doctorate...or if they just received the honorary degree. Hmmm. Maybe I will never know for sure...... Patisserie1 |

| Hi Marie, Emeril did graduate from J&W in 1978. Quote from J&W website: J&W Press release "The host of the Food Network's "Essence of Emeril" and "Emeril Live," Lagasse is a native of Fall River, Mass., where he honed his early culinary skills at a Portuguese bakery in his neighborhood. He then attended the College of Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales, graduating in 1978. He received an honorary doctorate degree in culinary arts from the University in 1990. In 2002, Lagasse established the Emeril Lagasse Foundation to support and encourage programs creating developmental and educational opportunities for children." Why do you think he did not graduate from J&W? Is the J&W website incorrect? |

| ON FTV, Sara Moulton and Anthony Boudain are CIA trained chefs. Others are from J&W, Le Cordon Bleu, or have no formal training.
