Funny this thread was started. Mario Batali was just fired from the network. It was in today's paper. He told network execs, if they didn't keep his daily Molto Mario show on the air, he wouldn't do Iron Chef any more. They said "ciao."
It's not like he needs the money.
He's a real arrogant d**k. I never liked him. He's a fake Italian as far as I am concerned. Everyone that I know who has gone to his restaurants say that he's a cold son of a bitch to his customers.
Now if they would just get rid of that snooty fat bitch, the Barefoot Contessa, the Food Network would be perfect! I can't stomach her! Her and her f**king husband
Jeffery.
BTW PB, I love those road shows also. I really enjoy the Diner shows that they've been showing too.
