Mario Batali & Marisa Tomei Cookbook

[SiculianuPazzu]

they're not italians at all

[SethHesio]

Mario really needs to lose some weight, it is not healthy to be that much like a cow. That boy fat!

[afterapplepicking]

@SethHesio Mario Batali has a business partner named Joe Bastionich, and when Mario and Joe are in Italy, according to Bill Buford, it's not uncommon for them to put away a CASE of wine in an evening. A CASE. 12 bottles. 9 liters. 4 and a half LITERS of wine EACH.

Now you add that kind of alcohol consumption to being rich and surrounded by all the best food with a clear predisposal to loving food and drink? He's gonna be fat.

Screw it if it's not healthy. You only live once.

[SethHesio]

@afterapplepicking :) I agree with you, we live once. But I think losing a few stone will make his life a little easier! That a shit tonne of wine btw... wow.

If Marisa shows up in every picture frame, tilting each dish towards the camera, dressed in a tightly-fitted shirt with mandatory cleavage, then, and only then will I consider buying it.

[SethHesio]

@drewlsy Amen to that. Big thumbs up.

damone70; thanks.  i sort of over-reacted i guess but thanks anyway!

[caesarcerf]

you FOOLS. "Italians know and love dried pasta." "nor do many or EVEN MOST recipes call for fresh pasta. many are better served by dry." typical internet scum assume 'fresh' is best. also, clowns, Italians almost ALWAYS used, good-quality CANNED tomatoes not fresh, so DON'T even go there.

[damone70]

@caesarcerf Well said and so true.

[uChefdotit]

@caesarcerf absolutely!!!

That blouse is terrible but I would do things to her that even she hasn't thought of. Maddon, she is so sexy. Thank you.

[rza139]

FYI - Every Barilla product is made in Italy.

[godspeed18]

ok so how does that answer my question?

[rza139]

hahaha. it doesn't. I have no clue. if you find out, let me know.

[66045]

No, they have plants in Italy and one in Iowa.

[saturninofarandola1]

@rza139 m che cazzo dici la pasta barilla la fanno pure in america ma informati prima di parlare

[temuchineq]

no definitely not. I had a type of spagetti carbonara with pork belly on the tasting menu at babbo and it was homemade pasta

[TracerPistol]

No, all his restaurants make fresh pasta.
