More quotes by Mario Batali
What will always remain is love, passion and family time.
Mario Batali
Bologna is the best city in Italy for food and has the least number of tourists. With its medieval beauty, it has it all.
Mario Batali
I really want to be a rock star.
Mario Batali
There are pockets of great food in Spain, but there are also pockets of very mediocre food in Spain, and the same in Morocco and the same in Croatia and the same in Germany and the same in Austria.
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
Michigan is my antidote to Manhattan. This is where I come to relax.
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
Any simple but delicious dish that celebrates the season and locality is what I want to be known for.
Mario Batali
When you cut that eggplant up and you roast it in the oven and you make the tomato sauce and you put it on top, your soul is in that food, and there's something about that that can never be made by a company that has three million employees.
Mario Batali
We would load up the yellow Cutlass Supreme station wagon and pick blackberries during blackberry season or spring onions during spring onion season. For us, food was part of the fabric of our day.
Mario Batali
Indianapolis versus Denver would not be a great one gastronomically.
Mario Batali
I am happiest when I am with my wife, Susi, and our two boys exploring and loving something for the first time.
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
The American Dream is ownership a house, a car, a vacation home and, even better, your own business
Mario Batali
Every Super Bowl, I do different food each quarter from each of the hometowns of the teams competing. So I’m always hoping for cities with a gastronomic soul—not so much Indianapolis or Denver, right? For halftime we have New York hot dogs from Papaya Dog. And at the end of the game I’ve chosen a dessert based on who I think is going to win.
Mario Batali
Even though you'll see gnocchi or linguine everywhere in some of the regions of Italy, each of those chefs has their own expression of that which expresses more about the place they were exactly born than it does about trying to be a part of the greater mass. And that's the Italian culture.
Mario Batali
Look at cookbooks with your kids and ask them what sounds good.
Mario Batali
The objective.. is to achieve a comfort level between the cook/artist/performer and the customer/viewer/diner. And if we can achieve that, and the customers are happy and the cooks are happy, then we have a great experience.
Mario Batali
If I hear something's not quite going right, then I'm there quicker than if I hear something's going wrong.
Mario Batali
