lol Worth ~
Emeril is from Falls River Mass. ! lol ~
His accent is like a Boston accent ~ lol ~
I know because
he and I graduated from the same college
different campus ; Johnson & Wales ;
he was culinary I was Sales/Marketing ...

I'm on the phone with people in all parts of the country, and I'll tell ya what people say I sound like:
A 6ft tall, blonde hair, blue eyed surfer from California !!!
lol ~ Other than the height ???
They couldn't be more wrong ! ~ lol ~

For some reason where I grew up
(the mountains/farms of North/West NJ,
45 minutes from NYC)
people don't really have that "Joisy" accent ~

My fiance has a Central Jersey accent though :
She says "Melk" , lol ~

I can see your point if you live in NJ and just outside of NYC ... my uncles for example (the Italian ones)...
They say :
park the cahhh ... or 1 ... 2 ... tree ... ;
or put the terlet seat down , lol ~
Heres a good one:
They wanna take you out for a soad-r and slice of
piete-zr (pizza) ~ lol ~

ps. I dunno ... I've been practicing ...
I still call thems erbs ~ :wink:
