"18 years old today. This young man chose his craft and has created a path of his own," Lagasse said in the Instagram post. "Along the way, he has made us incredibly proud and I couldn't be happier to work beside him. Happy 18th Birthday @ejlagasse. Love you, son. #HBD #ChefEJLagasse"

PEOPLE last caught up with Emeril and EJ when they were cooking together at the Cayman Cookout in January 2020. "It's awesome having him here," Emeril said at the time. "He's super into it. I never asked him to do it, it's just something that he just does."
Though Emeril helped launch the Food Network in the 1990s, E.J. has said that he's interested in being in front of the camera as his famous father. "I've been on his shows and stuff a few times. It doesn't bother me," he says. "But I definitely want to be a chef that's known for my cuisine and not necessarily just because you see me on TV every week."
