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
The American Dream is ownership a house, a car, a vacation home and, even better, your own business
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
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
In growing up in Seattle, I don't know a single family that didn't barbecue or cook on the weekends and make its own kind of simple, pared-down, what I call Pacific Northwest cooking.
Mario Batali
Find something you love, because if you love what you do, you'll never spend a day at work.
Mario Batali
The Hamptons are usually filled with what I had hoped to leave behind in New York City.
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
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
All the information you could want is constantly streaming at you like a runaway truck - books, newspaper stories, Web sites, apps, how-to videos, this article you're reading, even entire magazines devoted to single subjects like charcuterie or wedding cakes or pickles.
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
The kitchen really is the castle itself. This is where we spend our happiest moments and where we find the joy of being a family.
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
Any simple but delicious dish that celebrates the season and locality is what I want to be known for.
Mario Batali
The very common error of young or unconfident cooks is to keep putting more of their own personal ideology into a plate until there's so much noise that you really can't even hear a tune. You can say more in an empty space than you can in a crowded one.
Mario Batali
I really want to be a rock star.
Mario Batali
My favorite thing is always a nice, inexpensive draft beer, but if someone wants something a little more complicated than that, then I'd like a Michelada, which is where I take beer and a little bit of either a spicy or not-so-spicy Bloody Mary, mix it like six to one [ratio], so it's kind of a red beer.
Mario Batali
I obsess everyday about everything. Not only about what we do well but what we can do better... In the end, the only reason I am motivated to do what I do is for the hedonistic pleasures of the table.
Mario Batali
What will always remain is love, passion and family time.
Mario Batali
Passion is what adds so much value to life. And if you think about the things that you do, there's so much juice potential for them if you do it.
