  The Traditions of the Table: A Conversation with Mario Batali

 Rockin' and rollin' the dough with TV-star chef super Mario Batali   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It was "Molto" Italian chef Mario Batali's first trip to Pittsburgh yesterday, and while more than 500 people mobbed Lidia's Pittsburgh for the Food Network star's cookbook signing and cooking demonstration, his biggest fans seemed to be the girls from St. Columbkille Parish in Parma, Ohio.
Batali, in turn, had kind words to say for a Pittsburgh eatery he had visited earlier that morning at 2 a.m.: Primanti Brothers in the Strip.
But when it came to cooking, Batali delivered the goods, showing diners how he produces a nutty walnut sauce for silky, tissue-thin ravioli that, along with the nutmeg-scented goat cheese ricotta gnocci with sausage and fennel, some diners claimed was worth the price of the book alone.

For Batali, the commercial appeal of such a project is obvious: A media and marketing juggernaut, NASCAR is the country’s fastest-growing sport, with a rabid fan base numbering 75 million people, many of whom snap up its products the way foodies devour the beef-cheek ravioli at Babbo.
Batali says he’s been an avid NASCAR watcher since his days growing up in Washington State, where “the two biggest deals going were drag racing and hydroplaning.” He regards his fellow fans with admiration.
