Which famous chef coined the phrases "Bam!" and "Kick it up a notch"?

Massachusetts-born Emeril Lagasse is a popular television chef, as well as the chef/owner of his own restaurants. His eccentric, yet charming manner has won him fans from all over the world. He is famously known for yelling "Bam!" with hands in the air as he throws in a dash of this or a pinch of that. When he changes up a recipe to add a bit of heat, he says "Let's kick it up a notch!" He has a secret spice called "Essence of Emeril," and he named his television show after it.
