I loathe Mario Batali, his genius notwithstanding. I'd really like to pee on him with the girls from The Chew looking on in horror.

I like Lidia and Nick Stellino. I also like a young Canadian-Italian named David Rocco. I'm not even sure if he's on American television, but my wife got a cookbook of his as a gift a couple of years ago and I ended up looking him up online. He's down to earth, has a simple style, and he's very likeable.
