Chefs Speak: Mario Batali and Time

Yum.  Chef Mario Batali speaks to Time Magazine in this recently released candid 10 question video interview, including answers to the following:

  • What attracted him to Spain for his show with Gwyneth Paltrow
  • His thoughts on Gwyneth and what it was like to travel with her
  • African and French influences in Spanish cuisine and his new cookbook
  • Disaster dishes, what went wrong
  • His favorite two childhood meals served by his mom
  • His thoughts on Ferran Adrià and dining experiences at the restaurant El Bulli

And did you know?  Mario is starring in a new movie to be released in 2010, entitled “Bitter Feast”. It’s currently in post production, and is a horror comedy film about a chef who takes revenge upon one of his food critics.  Watch the (slightly gory) teaser trailer here.  Go Mario!

      I’m so happy to have you visit Lori. Agreed! I just found out that “Bitter Feast” will star James LeGros as the NYC celebrity chef, and Mario plays the restaurant owner, but any Mario on the big screen is welcomed!
