"We're going to kill him," Batali said to me with maniacal glee as he prepared a meal for a rival who had innocently ordered a seven-course tasting menu, to which Batali added a lethal number of extra courses. The starters (all variations in pig) included lonza (the cured backstrap from the cream-apple-and-walnut herd), coppa (from the shoulder), a fried foot, a porcini mushroom roasted with Batali's own pancetta (the belly), plus ("for the hell of it") a pasta topped with guanciale (the jowls). This year, Mario was trying out a new motto: "Wretched excess is just barely enough."

My favourite wfa episode is where Bruce leaves his comm channel open. I am sure he is not the only one to do this, so any other shenanigans of the batfam leaving comms on when they really shouldn't?

Dick: Are you a terabyte of data? 'Cause you've been taking up my whole memory.
Barbara: *giggles*
Bruce: *switches channels*
Steph: Can you hold my drink while I check the perimeter again?
Cass: Sure.
Cass:
Cass: *sluuuurp—*
Bruce: *switch*
Tim: Relax, babe. My family's all on different missions and Alfred's flying to England in the morning. You should come over. Bart and Cassie are bringing food, Cissie's inviting a bunch of her friends, and Kon's putting on fireworks. It's gonna be the greatest party ever.
Bruce: *switch*
Damian: Shh, just stay under my cape until I give you the signal.
Damian's cape: Woof!

Jason: This is why we're in couples therapy!
Bruce: *switch*

Mario Batali: Celebrity chef is acquitted of groping woman at Boston restaurant
Mario Batali: Celebrity chef is acquitted of groping woman at Boston restaurant
Judge James Stanton noted Batali’s conduct was “not befitting of a public person of his stature” that night five years ago but said his accuser has “significant credibility issues” that supported the defendant’s “contention that her motive was financial gain.” Batali, wearing a sport coat, smiled after the verdict and thanked his attorneys. His accuser hurried out of the courtroom as soon as the…

A little teaser for my upcoming fic 😊
I had some amazing art made by the incredibly talented @sweetperversiongirl who made the image in my head come to life.
Ian followed Mickey down the short hallway, admiring the strong back and pert ass covered in blue denim. They entered the bedroom, and Mickey turned to toss the black bundle at Ian, hitting him fair in the chest. “What’s this?” “While you were being all Mario Batali and playing chef, thinking with your wallet and your stomach, I was thinking with my dick, and grabbed these.” Ian shook out the bundle, unrolling a pair of leather chaps. He flipped them over in his hands to confirm… yep… assless leather chaps.

You know, I find it so hilarious how Brian is somewhat made out by the game as the near-perfect option, mostly because he brings the best benefits for Amanda.
Every family has varying color schemes, but Amanda's green, which is also Brian and Daisy's color.
Amanda mentions that she wants a dog with a handkerchief around its neck, and Brian's dog does.
Out of all the cul-de-sac kids, Amanda gets along with Daisy the best.
We also delve into Dadsona's character and backstory a lot more in Brian's route than in the others (although I could be wrong, since I haven't played about half of the other routes!)
And as a funny bonus, in Damien's third date when Mary draws out a map of the cul-de-sac, she codenames Brian as "Mario Batali", which is Dadsona's celebrity crush.
All of this, but Dadsona is made out to initially hate Brian's guts. He is literally the only character in the game who fails to see that this man is a walking green flag and that's so funny to me

I know that Rupert Swaggart (Meat Sweats) is based on Gordon Ramsey but he’s also based on Mario Batali and it’s painfully obvious in his human form

Why Mario Batali of all chefs? The guy is an American with bad fashion sense and barely counts as a famous chef anymore - it’s such an odd inspiration for Rupert since he’s a British tv chef - oh well, it’s very interesting

The cooking show will be interesting. I wonder which one she’s ripping off. Martha Stewart, Ina Garten, and Rachel Ray are probably the most likely ones since they were big in the ‘90s (aka Meghan’s ideal decade). But Selena Gomez and Florence Pugh are popular among the youth with their down-to-earth/slightly chaotic shows. But Anthony Bourdain (RIP) and Stanley Tucci are popular in the wine mom/Goop crowd Meghan is going after.
I say Bourdain. After all, Anthony Bourdain was Meghan's self-admitted OG travel/foodie show muse from way back. A Martha or Ina rip-off would require far too much work and actual expertise (in her mind). Although she may begin like them, based in one location (Montecito/Casa Olive Garden/the "American Riviera"), imo she'd love ultimately to expand into a Bourdain-type international travel/foodie show. I think she thinks that an on-the-road travel/foodie show would be easy-peasy for her (eating, drinking, traveling, word-salading on camera), while the producers and crew do all the bts heavy lifting. Remember when Gwyneth and the disgraced Mario Batali did something similar, traveling through sunny Spain, eating tapas and drinking sherry all day and night? WCK's Jose Andres did the same type of show recently with his daughters. The Tig was Megs' discount attempt to materialize an offer for a similar gig.
Of course, the reality is that the success of Bourdain and his iconic shows - just like Martha's and Ina's - required intense work and decades of culinary expertise and experience, not to mention personal charisma to burn ...none of which Meghan has.
(PS: "Slightly chaotic" is a perfect description for Selena + Chef! I loved her early show with Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli (sp?), in which Selena showed up in the kitchen wearing a white pinafore dress lol. But she's authentic and eager to learn, bless her heart, and brings in a young viewership.)

Do you have a rant in you about Emeril Lagasse like you do about Bobby Flay?
I...hm. I think in a way I both have no rants and also three rants, when it comes to Emeril Lagasse.
The Rant That's Actually About Bobby Flay
All these TV chefs, particularly those who came up in Food Network when the food-entertainment field was super regulated and gatekept, you really only know what you see of them directly and what you might hear about them from other sources. They're not like regular celebs where a huge chunk of their lives is public and covered in gossip rags and such. Not to make a rant about Emeril Lagasse into a rant about Bobby Flay, but the reason I have a rant locked and loaded about Bobby Flay is that he's shown his ass in public enough for me to decide he's not someone I'd want to hang out with, even considering the above.
It's kind of a self-selection sort of deal. Because while I like food tv I don't watch much of it and haven't for probably like 15 years, you have to have been somewhat egregious, like Flay or Batali, to draw enough of my ire that I have a rant. (I don't actually have a rant about Mario Batali, I'm too scared of Eataly to try it and otherwise all I know is that he's a serial harasser.)
2. The Rant That's Actually About Fatphobia
My immediate thought when I got this ask was "I haven't thought about Emeril in years, oh man, did he do something awful?" but a quick goog and the worst I could find was that while liking Barack Obama he didn't like his attitude towards regulatory legislation. Which, you know, in the scheme of things lately is a pretty minor issue. Not that I think you're taking a personal swipe at him, but culturally it seems that as with Guy Fieri, Emeril Lagasse's cardinal sin is that he is
a) A loud personality
b) In a fat body
c) on television.
And my patience for the confusion of "tacky" and "fat" and "bad" is growing very, very thin. Especially since Emeril and Guy are the rare people who could be fat and because they have pretty wild personalities still thrive in the modern YouTube-TikTok era of food entertainment, where conventional attractiveness and thin bodies are pretty much prerequisites for fame of any kind. If you are fat on video today you truly have to be exceptional in some way and working twice as hard in order to have any success, let alone the kind of success top influencers have.
If Guy Fieri as an unknown today did what B Dylan Hollis does, he would not get the reaction B Dylan Hollis gets. No beef with Hollis, work what you've got, but if Hollis was fat he'd be at best the butt of jokes about how he'll eat anything, and the worse TikTok makes fatphobia in this country the less patience I have for it. Emeril, who also looks Faintly Ethnic and puts an emphasis on Portuguese and Creole flavors and techniques in his cooking, might very well just simply be ignored.
3. The Rant That Isn't Actually A Rant At All
Here is my memoir about Emeril Lagasse: my mother discovered Emeril's first show, Essence Of Emeril, when I was in my middle-teens; she saw it on some hotel TV while traveling, and brought it back to the family, and we all really enjoyed it. The idea of a chef having a specific spice blend or a food brand was either very new or wholesale conceptualized by Emeril, with his Essence Of Emeril spice blend, which was posted as a recipe as well as sold in stores, so you could make it at home fairly easily. It was still relatively unspicy; I could eat it, and my brother was obsessed with it, which made it a pretty useful foodstuff in our household. Our constant struggle to get my brother to expand his palate so we weren't cooking him an entirely separate dinner was real, and Essence helped with that since he'd sprinkle it on food he wouldn't normally eat, like spaghetti noodles or baked fish or porkchops, and then happily eat it.
So I have perhaps understandably fond memories of Emeril, because he was something the family agreed was enjoyable, and his recipes (while often complicated) produced pretty delicious food.
There's actually a moment in Infinite Jes, when Eddie's talking about his career, where I touch directly back to me being a fan of Essence Of Emeril and watching him make the leap to Emeril Live.
If you watch Essence of Emeril, it's your standard Chef Behind A Counter On A Soundstage show, very Julia Child -- he's boisterous and enthusiastic and he's already honing his "Bam!" schtick, but there's nothing for him to work with. He hasn't got an audience and it's almost painful to see now because you can see where he unconsciously reaches for an audience reaction. It's a relief to watch early Emeril Live because he's got a studio audience, someone to respond to, someone who reacts when he makes a loud noise or finishes a beautiful dish. I put that moment into Infinite Jes, where Eddie's trying to make a dumb little fun cooking show in college and doesn't really "break" until two stoners walk into the kitchen and he's got other people to bounce off of. In some ways, because I watched way more Emeril than I did Guy at a formative moment, Eddie's actual career owes more to Emeril than to Guy.
I think Emeril's had a rough go of it in the past decade or so; you don't hear about him much, and part of the reason is that a lot of his business ventures haven't done well. He sold most of the remaining ones to Martha Stewart and lately has focused on his restaurants, as I understand it.
In conclusion
So yeah...the only rant I have about Emeril Lagasse is actually a rant about fatphobia, I guess; if it turns out he's like a super vocal Trump supporter or something that'll be a tragedy (and given he's based out of Florida, it's not unlikely he could have uncomfortable shit to say about the pandemic, but as far as I can tell he hasn't). It seems without in-depth research that he's a decent guy whose time has somewhat passed, and who decided to focus on what he enjoys about being a chef over doing stuff he doesn't like because the money's good.
