Chef Lagasse going "Green" in new TV series

Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse will host his own series on Planet Green, an eco-lifestyle cable network set to launch in June.
The daily series, tentatively titled "Emeril Green," will feature Lagasse sharing his ideas with viewers about how to cook healthy meals for their families.
It will be produced in partnership with Whole Foods Market, and will be shot on location, with Lagasse enlisting the help of the Whole Foods team and others to handpick the best ingredients for a particular recipe.
The news follows last week's announcement that Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia was acquiring Lagasse's content assets in a $50 million-plus deal. Lagasse also continues to have a relationship with Food Network: although "Emeril Live" ended production last year, "Essence of Emeril" continues, and the network is talking with Lagasse about possible specials or other programs.
