I watched who will be the next iron chef a few nghts ago and Cora,Flay,Morimoto were there as the final judges,Batali wasn't there.Iron Chef America is my fav.Fd.Network show.If Batali is no longer one ,who's made this decision and why.
Anyone ever watched his show when he goes to Italy and speaks to someone Italian, he sounds like his lines are memorized and scripted. Anyone else ever thought this as well??PS - I do love his restaurants!!
I'd personally rather lose Flay than Batali from Iron Chef America.

Just looking for some feedback and suggestions as to your dining experience at any of Mario's places...
most: Mario Batalileast: Rachael Ray
$200.00 greenbacks on Emeril & Martha. Martha would do a "Troy" move like Brad Pitt, and shank Rachel right in the neck with a ginsu knife. Emeril and Mario would probably say "Well that's a wrap! Tailgate party anyone? ( ^ _ ^ )

I saw a preview for an episode of Mario Batali versus Jamie Oliver. Does anyone know when this episode airs?thanks so much!!James, you could've just edited the details on your own question. You didn't have to post here.
Mario Batali?Anthony Bourdain?Emeril Legassi?Giada DeLaurentis?Bobby Flay?Alton Brown?You don't have to pick someone from the list.
I recently bought an oil drizzler like this one:http://www.foodnetworkstore.com/p-587575-0%2092%204294964516%204294964216-Oil-Cans-Cruets-and-Misters_Mario-Batali-Persimmon-Ceramic-Oil-Drizzler.aspx?hid=92and I have seen some that have a little metal "flip top", I guess to cover the hole as to not let air in. Now, at my house, if I put my oil in here and leave it open like that with no cover, will my olive oil spoil?
1) Emeril LaGasse2)Bobby Flay3)Wofgang Puck4)Al Roker5)Tyler Florence6)Mario Batali&)Any other TV chef
Which of these would you rather see choke:Emeril LagasseMario BataliRachel RayBobby FlayPaula Dean
I am a HUGE foodnetwork fan, but it seems Rachael-Ray is the only person who comments when she is substituting an ingredient to be more figure-friendly.Foodnetwork has about 5 main stars, in my opinionBobby FlayEmeril LagassePaula DeenMario BataliRachael RayOf these, only R.R. and B.F. are not overweight.I am actually a 300 pound individual and I wish to make a senseless opinion that I feel food-network-channel should advocate about once per episode, a reference to an FDA guideline--such as "well this meal we fixed can replace lunch and dinner" through an INDIRECT REFERENCE.I wish each show would at least make ONE MENTION to caloric responsibility.I actually LOVE emeril's indirect method of humor, in saying "hey, we're all friends here" when he talks about a high-calorie dish.I would love for foodnetwork to at least make a decent effort to subconsciously remind us that food relates to health, and food responsibility is part of health responsibility.
Has anyone ever gone to any of the restaurants belonging to the food network stars? Ill be in NYC next month and was thinking of trying either Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill, Morimoto of NYC, or one of Mario Batali's (Lupa, Esca, DelPosto, Babbo). Please let me know if any of these places are any good!
Last night I had a dream that Mario Batali was my personal chef... which is weird cause I mostly watch Rachel Ray.... I wonder what's REALLY going on in my head. You think GWS is messing with it... Anyone want to take a stab at it? It's crazy up there, I warn you....D- haha - you silly....
It would be great if someone can answer this as i fell asleep and couldn't see the ending.
http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1673230,00.htmlThis article about the new book called Last Supper, where chefs tell you what their last supper would be..... What would yours be? Mario BataliThe celebrity chef would prepare a meal of eight to 10 courses which would include marinated anchovies served with a little bruschetta; mozzarella en carozza (a Neapolitan-style grilled cheese sandwich); and fresh Amalfitana pasta with shrimp and zucchini.orGary DankoThis final feast, to be eaten by hand like at a Roman or Greek banquet, would comprise the finest foods from around the world, including caviar, spit-roasted suckling pigs, black truffles wrapped in salt pork and a roasted Bleu Bresse chicken.orScott ConantA last meal for Conant would include fried chicken served with sweet corn; spit-roasted goat; a whole fish cooked in lobster broth with baby tomatoes and fresh basil; Neapolitan Gatto (a mashed potato dish); and white truffles

I'm thinking of getting either one from Mario Batali, Giada DeLaurentis, or the old school Momma Leone' one. Which one is best?

I'm looking for a rub recipe that's brown sugar based. I found one in Life magazine (or whatever magazine insert comes in the Sunday newspaper) a few years ago from Mario Batali (I think it was him) that was great. If someone has that exact one or knows what I'm referring to, I'd like to have the recipe.If not, I'm just looking for something that is sweeter and isn't really hot or spicy. It would be mostly used on hamburgers.Thanks a lot.
Mario Batali has a great recipe for stinging nettle tagliatelle with sausage and kale. I make it with other types of tagliatelle because I don't know where to find stinging nettles.Any idea where I can find stinging nettles in Seattle?

I thought this would be topical given the new Food Network show anointing a new Iron Chef. I've included most of the chefs from Iron Chef Japan, as I found that show to be infinitely more entertaining than the American version. 8 person tournament so I need to rank them. Here it goes:1. Chen Kenichi: Should have won the Japanese tournament but got too cute with cheese. (67-22-3)2. Hiroyuki Sakai: Beat Chen for above reason. (70-15-1)3. Mario Batali: Easily the best of the American chefs. Could be #1 with the right judges.4. Rokusaburo Michiba: More successful than Morimoto. (32-5-1)5. Masaharu Morimoto: He's been damn near unbeatable in the U.S. version. His winning percentage is well above 80%.6. Bobby Flay: 1-1 vs. Morimoto, although I wonder if those battles weren't fixed.7. Cat Cora: Sneaky play. She knows her stuff.8. Masahiko Kobe: Jap cooking Italian? (15-7-1)Outcome: I would have Batali beating Sakai to face Chen. And the winner would be...Mario Batali
Why dont they ever show mario batali on a treadmill, or do a documentary of mario batali going to see a doctor. Sure, being obese is fine when most of the facts are covered up--like hollywood loves to do. Mario batali seems to have no remorse for his contribution to condoning obesity. He is by far, a sick person. Obesity is a huge epidemic. He should admit that obesity is bad, and he should encourage (by example) that weight loss can counterbalance the adverse health effects of obesity. I have seem a 400 pound man like him with his shirt off. He is disgusting, sweats profusely, sleeps in every day until noon, and is a glutton especially when he drinks. I've seen him eat a "meal for 8" from KFC if he gets drunk. Also he uses gobs of honey on the chicken AND the biscuits. The person now is undergoing lap-band surgery and seems to be working, losing 20 pounds in the first 4 weeks. WOULD IT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING FOR THE NATION if tv chef-personalites were required to lose weight?
Mario BataliCat Cora Bobby FlayMashito MorimotoAlso do you think Alton Brown would be a goos Iron Chef instead of just the commentater
I've seen "Big Night" the movie and Mario Batali versions, curious if there are any versions that sound better.
I was trying to find info about Mario Batali for my health class, and came accross this blogger who was downright negative about him.http://www.merryweatherjones.com/content.php?aid=1675&PHPSESSID=39b9476e302d387ae68fd2d349ddb35cWhy is it that in doing research on him, I find all these negative opinions? I am blind--I thought everyone liked him?Someone tell me what i'm missing. Also is it true that he's not really italian because italian people do not have red hair? I am saddened, because my mario batalia image I held of him is seemingly crushed. Someone please mend this broken heart with clearity and refute all this negative bullshit i've been reading.
His pizzaria Mozza has already opened right next door to this, but the trattoria is like a little restaurant/bar.
2006 was the year we were reasonablePublished: Sun, Dec 31, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------By JOEL STEIN SPECIAL TO THE LOS ANGELES TIMES We spent five years acting hysterically, like a nation that was in a fight with Ricky Ricardo. We were insane people, screaming about politics, shoving tiny American flags on the corners of our news shows, convincing ourselves that flipping houses was a real job. There was a moment there when we even considered shunning French fries. But in 2006 it all changed. This was the year of adulthood, of sobriety, of pragmatism: the year of acting reasonably. The kind of year when you calmed down, thought it through, weighed your options and realized that there is no upside in telling the media that, yes, it does kind of suck when the vice president of the United States shoots you in the face. All of a sudden, we decided to approach events unemotionally. In fact, we were downright boring. At this point in Vietnam, college kids were destroying campuses and growing incredibly unflattering facial hair. In 2006, we asked a bunch of retirees to meet for a study group about Iraq. If they had done a better job, we'd probably be moving on to solving the Palestinian issue with a book club. And the Iraq Study Group didn't come up with the radical solution that everyone expected. Instead, it reasonably advised that -- slowly, when no one is looking -- we get the hell out of there. Al Gore's show It was such a serious, reasonable year that, in an affront to every study ever done about human psychology, millions of people willingly paid $7 to see Al Gore give a slide-show demonstration about carbon emissions. Faced with the opportunity of giddily discovering a bunch more planets and getting people excited about space for the first time in 50 years, astronomers convened in the most sober of places, Prague, Czech Republic, and had their head astronomer guy declare that if tiny, wobbly Pluto is a planet, then my astronomer butt is a planet, too. The symbol for this year was America's most rational man, Warren Buffet, deciding that the best use of $37 billion was to give it away. It turns out you can sock away a lot of money by not getting new glasses since 1896. Even people with a long record of insanity suddenly became well-reasoned deciders. President Bush fired Donald Rumsfeld. Whitney Houston divorced Bobby Brown. Britney Spears, the Elizabeth Taylor of our time, left Kevin Federline. Homeland Security responded to London's liquid bomb plot by allowing us to put lotion in see-through bags. Donald Trump met with a troubled Miss USA and restrained himself from firing her. Ford got rid of the Taurus. Jack Abramoff, when arrested for corruption, had the good sense to literally wear a black hat. Alan Keyes walked out of an interview with Borat. Oprah lectured James Frey about the rigors of journalism. The Wiggles, unlike all child super groups before them, were able to pass leadership down in a bloodless transition. When marketing campaigns tried to fool the masses, the masses rebuffed them using the complex risk-analysis skills we learned from Howie Mandel. As much as we loved talking about it, there was no way we were going to actually see "Snakes on a Plane." We used E. coli as a brilliant excuse to stop eating spinach forever. We decided the best way to play video games isn't fiddling with buttons on a PlayStation 3 but swinging the controller wildly like it was an actual sword or a tennis racquet on our Wii's. Being reasonable, it turns out, often makes us look even dorkier. It's as if we all got together and tried to prove that James Surowiecki book right. We voted Tucker Carlson as the first one off "Dancing with the Stars." We quit pretending we were going to use Mario Batali's tips on braising pig cheeks and instead watched intently as Rachel Ray showed us the proper way to cut the plastic off of food. It only took us one week to reject Katie Couric as a news source. We heard John Kerry try to tell a joke and decided it was not funny before we even figured out what he meant. We voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger because he made the environmental promises that Bush wouldn't. And we otherwise voted for Democrats based solely on the fact that they were not Republicans. Muhammad cartoons Principles, we learned, are overrated in this complicated world. When crazy Muslims start killing people over harmless Muhammad cartoons, newspaper editors put aside their journalistic responsibilities, consider their own safety and stop running Muhammad cartoons. When Judith Regan decided to print a too-cleverly-titled book about O.J. sort of, kind of, not really confessing, we thought long and hard and realized there's absolutely no reason there should be a publishing industry in Los Angeles. People were so levelheaded, I wouldn't be surprised if in the few days left in the year, everyone sells their hedge-fund shares. If we keep this pragmatism up for a little longer, maybe we will have an ideology to export to the Middle East after all.

How come all these great chefs like Michael Chiarello, Rachel Ray, Bobby Flay, Dave Lieberman, and Ingrid Hoffman are all tiny....they look like they never eat any of the food they cook. Now Paula Deen and Ina Garten and Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse....they look like they actually eat their own cooking! How do these other cooks stay so thin? And speaking of cooks who eat their own food....is Justin Wilson still alive? I miss seeing him.
'k i was watching iron chef: america last night and it was Mario Batali & Rachel Ray vs. Bobby Flay & Giada De Laurentiis. It was getting really good but i was so tired that i fell asleep before the end! does anyone know who won?-Thanks =D
Seems like lately all they have shown on the Food Network are gimicky shows like "Unwrapped" and all the shows with "Guy", their contest winner who is just downright annoying.And now news that Emeril Live has been cancelled? Mario Batali leaves Food Network and Iron Chef America? What on earth is going on at the Food Network? Bring back the actual cooking instead of the stupid competition shows. I know that making gum paste flowers is truly a complicated art form, but I'd rather see something else.
My boyfriend and I are celebrating our 1 year anniversary on March 14, 2008, but I don't know what type of activities to plan. I already got us reservations to Osteria Mozza (Mario Batali's restaurant) at 6 PM, but I don't know where to go from there. The only thing that came to mind was the movie theatre but I feel that that is so typical. I'd love to do something different. We're not really "lay in the grass and look at the stars" type of people. Well, we like that, but it's not something we could do for five hours at a time. I'd love to go to the aquarium or something to that extent, but since it's evening-night most of those places are closed. We don't drink so bars are out of the question. Any suggestions? (Preferably in the Los Angeles area)
