Just because an insufferable miscreant is cheerful, they don't become any less insufferable.

He acts jolly thinking of how smart he thinks he is, what a dick.

Batali knows his shit though. His business ventures tend to be more upscale than my taste, but the quality is never an issue. His name is not associated with any food that isn't between good to great in my experience. It's just pricey. His recipes are spot the fuck on.

That may be so but something about him rubs me the wrong way, might be those fucking crocs.

I get that. A know it all ginger in Crocs isn't an easy sell on likeability. I just give the guy a pass because the food he's responsible for is always quality. And back in the early days of the Food Network I learned a fuckton about Italian cooking from his Molto Mario show.

Batali seems the most tragic chef. like he is cursed with the awareness of the bullshit, but he has to continue with it. there's a hesitance about the way he does things. on molto mario, he seemed to appreciate the knowledge more than the craft - he could've been a dickhead employee at a record store or a librarian. instead he's serving food to idiots on television.

i imagine him sitting on the toilet, slowly working through a sleeve of oreos, pondering how he's going to extricate himself from the david lynch movie he's living inside of. "what would happen if i just disappeared, went to live on an oil drilling platform."

kek. There's no doubt he worked hard to become a chef, including enduring abuse in French kitchens for being a spaghetti. But he became a successful restaurateur regardless. Then he became the guy the NYTimes called whnever they had a question about Italian food. Then one of the early celebrity chefs.

Today he runs an empire. And while I'm sure he's proud of it he's got to have his "what have I become?" moments. Because he's no longer a chef. He's a brand responsible for hundreds of peoples' livelihoods.
