What's Cooking with Mario Batali?
Superchef Mario Batali is a rock star of the food world. But evidently it wasn't his life's ambition from the getgo. Here's a great little interview with the Iron Chef via The Shreveport TimesBatali is anything but pretentious. This is, after all, a guy who once worked as a dishwasher at a New Jersey eatery called Stuff Yer Face while attending Rutgers University.
Cooking didn't always hold his interests -- banking and theater were his initial pursuits. "Twenty-five years ago, becoming a chef was the last thing you did between coming out of the Army and going to jail," he says.
