Batali and Bourdain Dish to Grub Street
Friday, May 18, 2007 | posted by Mike
Looks like we missed a good one by not making an effort to get into Manhattan for the Borders appearance of Marco Pierre White. It wasn't that White's appearance has us regretting it...it's the fact that Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain showed up. Grub Street, the fantastic food blog from New York Magazine, got them to sit down and chat. And chat they did...
Be sure to check this out for their thoughts on Top Chef contestant Marcel Vigneron's penchant for borrowing heavily from Wylie Dufresne (they don't approve) and their estimation of food bloggers (I'm sure they'd both love TV Food Fan!).
New Jersey readers will also get a kick out of Mario taking a bit of a swipe at The Mall at Short Hills. I've never been there, so I'm not sure if it's deserving of his dismissive comment. The only thing I know about it is that, when Mrs. TVFF goes there, she always returns with three new pairs of shoes and a dress. For that reason alone, I'm not a fan.
