Shop often, shop hard, and spend for the best stuff available – logic dictates that you can make delicious food only with delicious ingredients. – Mario Batali
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
