M. A. R. I. O...and Mario was his name-0. Oh yes. Mario Batali is now offering a $100,000 lunch in Vegas. For 100 g's, he will personally fly out to Vegas to cook you and your friends lunch. What won't this guy sell? Is he going to have a line of plus-sized clothing for women next? Between his cookware, writing books, being on TV, or opening 1 of his many new restaurants, where's the time for quality control of his existing restaurants? I had some sub-par experiences at Babbo and Otto last year (years past I had great experiences there), but I guess it makes sense since he obviously could care less about his other restaurants. With all this ranting on Mario, I do admit that he's a great teacher that shows great passion for cooking. However, he's all about the greed now and could care less about his own restaurants.It makes sense considering every single other personality on the Food Network spends an equal amount of time on the Home Shopping Network as they do on the Food Network. Makes you appreciate the Eric Ripert's (chef of Le Bernardin) of the worlds more...

Mario seems like a nasty guy who would sell his own mother if he could make a buck off it.
What a local dissapointment...
An alum of Rutgers and once a dishwasher at a greasy ribs joint... now a stuck up narcisist with a fat wallet.
With all the money in the world, you still can't buy respect.
