LAist looks back fondly on that sleepy morning a few years back when we reluctantly rolled out of bed and sat down to a breakfast made for us by celebrated chef Emeril Lagasse. Lagasse was the perfect gentleman, making us two different dishes so we could have our choice of flavors, and he did his trademark "Bam!" spicing right before our very eyes. But, before we could eat, the press was right there in our face, asking us prying questions. They even shoved a microphone in our face as we took our first bite, and let out a muffled "mmm!" of approval. Ah, what a day!

Tamara Gregory is an LA native who enjoys all the perks that our metropolis has to offer. She is a film producer and author. Her first novel, Passport Diaries, which brings an African American perspective to the Chick Lit genre, goes on sale tomorrow.
