More quotes by Mario Batali
One of the most important leadership lessons is realizing you're not the most important or the most intelligent person in the room at all times.
Mario Batali
Twelve-piece cookware sets for ninety-nine bucks are routinely hawked on late-night TV - often by friends of mine. But with a mere five pieces, you can do whatever you like - slay the dragon and then cook its tenderloin in the style of the duke of Wellington, if you want to.
Mario Batali
Food is everyday-it has to be, or we would not survive for long. But food is never just something to eat. It is something to find or hunt or cultivate first of all.
Mario Batali
Look at cookbooks with your kids and ask them what sounds good.
Mario Batali
My last meal? The food would be much less significant than the company.
Mario Batali
I'm a big fan of featuring all of the local shellfish and seafood provided.
Mario Batali
I would challenge any American cook, regardless of what they've learned from their mom, to operate a restaurant and not have spent any real time in Italy.
Mario Batali
My kids and I make pasta three days a week now. It's not even so much about the eating of it they just like the process. Benno is the stuffer, and Leo is the catcher. They've got their jobs down.
Mario Batali
I think that there is philanthropy and there is publicity. If you can marry the two to do something good, then I think it's great. Some of the other guys go around and slag people as a profession. That's not so interesting to me, because it's easy to take down, it's harder to build.
Mario Batali
Indianapolis versus Denver would not be a great one gastronomically.
Mario Batali
When you add just a little bit [of Tabasco] at the end, what you taste is the spectrum between the cooked chile flavor and the kind of nearly raw, just kind of fermented chile flavor at the end.
Mario Batali
Find something you love, because if you love what you do, you'll never spend a day at work.
Mario Batali
When I was in college, I used to write little ditties and short stories and poetry for my friends. Writing a book is another thing. It is so much different from my traditional day of dirty fingernails and greasy hair and hot pans.
Mario Batali
I got some media coverage for using the tail, the ear, the oink.
Mario Batali
Although the skills aren't hard to learn, finding the happiness and finding the satisfaction and finding fulfillment in continuously serving somebody else something good to eat, is what makes a really good restaurant.
Mario Batali
The Chinese five-spice works really well in the quantity that I used. It makes it almost imperceptibly just a little bit sweeter without making it really sweet or really even that Asian flavored.
Mario Batali
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
The Gulf Coast has the potential to create a culinary raw ingredient paradise that smart cooks can capitalize on.
Mario Batali
I really want to be a rock star.
Mario Batali
The American Dream is ownership a house, a car, a vacation home and, even better, your own business
