I was at a party, and some squiggly looking dude with a bow tie came up and said, Howd you like to be on TV? Turns out he was the programming guy at the Food Network. They had me come into the office, and I did a Ready, Set, Cook with Emeril Lagasse, I believe. – Mario Batali
The kitchen really is the castle itself. This is where we spend our happiest moments and where we find the joy of being a family. – Mario Batali
