Celebrity Chef Of the Day: Mario Batali

Continuing on with our celebrity chef-ridden month, we’re celebrating the talents of the one & only Mario Batali today.

Batali attended Rutgers University, graduating in 1982 with a double major in Spanish Theater & Economics.  Well, that’s rather impressive & interesting, eh?

Another little interesting tidbit about our little Mario is that he met & married Susi Cahn, the daughter of the founders of Coach Leather.  That was quite a find, if you ask me.  Mario & Susi have two sons together, Leo & Benno. 

With his trademark orange clogs, Batali has wowed us with his cookbooks, such as his 2006 Mario Tailgates NASCAR style as well as with his restaurant pursuits in Las Vegas.

From dishwasher to pizzaman, Mario has seen it all & lived to tell us all about the right way to cook!
