Okay, you have GOT to stop with the “I never liked Neil Gaiman! He was always a bad writer!” bullshit. You didn’t buy that many books of a writer you think sucked, okay? That’s not a value judgement against you. But we HAVE TO KILL the idea that good art is a reflection of virtue. Mario Batali’s food was undeniably excellent. His food, and his restaurants, and his writing about food, and his damn TV show are a big party of the reason I cook Italian now. He was unquestionably a monster. Those facts are not contradictory. You’re not a dumbass for liking Neil Gaiman’s stuff and wearing an obnoxious ankh pendant, okay? He had us all fooled.

Vintage Dr.Suess books I've never seen before, a book by a bad man, hockey, a doll I don't care for, that's not a dove, royals merch, and a new old stock massage table I actually got.

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?

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.

but for real if you think taako is some kind of skinny twink youre insane. he's a master chef tv personality. he's got the mario batali build. the guy fieri realness. he IS the cake boss

[olliethescribe]

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

It has been nearly four months since I dined at abc kitchens, the three-in-one, instantly iconic restaurant nestled on the ground floor of London's luxury hotel The Emory, across the road from leafy Hyde Park. But not even the time that has passed has been able to take away from the pleasantly hypnotic sensory overload I felt upon stepping inside.Inaugurated last spring, the burgeoning hotspot marks the debut of French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's celebrated trilogy of New York eateries — abc kitchen, abcV, and abc cocina — onto the British culinary scene. A multi-award-winning restaurateur, Vongerichten is the creative powerhouse behind, and the owner of, 60 gastronomic destinations worldwide — including the eponymous two Michelin-starred restaurant Jean-Georges, one of the few to have been awarded four stars by The New York Times.Credited with having "invented America's answer to nouvelle cuisine", as fellow chef and writer Mario Batali wrote in a 2005 article for the New York magazine, his masterfully executed, sculptural fusion of modern American, plant-based, and Latin American flavors would be enough to make abc kitchens a mandatory entry in our list of the best London restaurants — and a daily ritual for those lucky enough to sojourn at the sleekly designed, all-suite The Emory.Still, it won't take you more than a glance at its winding 1970s-style banquette couch and shimmering cocktail bar to understand that food isn't but one side of the story at this amber-hued location; the cherry on top of the cake, to keep it within the taste realm.With their pop, floral touches, Damien Hirst's The Secret Gardens Paintings (2023) bring the neutrally tinted interiors of abc kitchens to life(Image credit: abc kitchens. Design: Rémi Tessier)From the outside, the monumental pale stone, glass, and bronze, with the white-painted steel masts and cabling of The Emory's functionalist façade — a sophisticated exercise signed, as the rest of its architecture, by RSHP's late co-founder Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour — make knowing what lies indoors anyone's guess. But as visitors turn left past the reception of the coveted Belgravia hotel, a play of light and shapes unfolds around the corner.When I visited the restaurant last fall, the sun had only just set on a Hyde Park covered in yellowed foliage, and the same golden glow irradiated the warm wood tones and Rosso Orobico marble of abc kitchens, casting dramatic shadows all over its mid-century modern furniture. Conceived to amplify the building's surroundings by self-taught interior designer Rémi Tessier, the space embraces diners in a chic cocooning environment where industrial-style copper pendant lights, a twinkling glass wine cave, and a wavy metallic curtain set the mood for Vongerichten's culinary explorations.Much like his genre-bending understanding of cuisine, abc kitchens is many things at once. "It's warm, cozy, inviting, and intimate," Vongerichten tells me over an email exchange. "You're able to gaze at the park while sitting in this highly designed and lit dining room", and thanks to its wide open kitchen, positioned meters away from where guests are seated, you can even catch him and Executive Chef Ben Boeynaems at work while savoring your meal.The Livingetc newsletter is your shortcut to the now and the next in home design. Subscribe today to receive a stunning free 200-page book of the best homes from around the world.The amber glass wine cave of abc kitchens makes the dining room into an atmospheric haven(Image credit: abc kitchens. Design: Rémi Tessier)For the American food disruptor, who first introduced the idea of fusion cuisine to London during his tenure at The Berkeley's Vong restaurant, abc kitchens' vision wouldn't be complete without its dazzling setting. "The original three abc restaurants have been loved by New Yorkers since we opened abc kitchen in 2010," he explains. "Each one harmoniously speaks to the same ethos — an emphasis placed on community and working with local, organic ingredients — but every restaurant takes that ethos and transforms it, whether in the form of cuisine or design."At abc kitchens, the trio of eateries is reunited under one roof for the first time in a boundaries-blurring tasting and aesthetic encounter between New York and the British capital. "From interiors to culture, food, and beyond, Londoners are very similar to New Yorkers in their preferences," Vongerichten says. "We have always wanted to combine the three abc restaurants, and in collaboration with The Emory, we felt it was the right place and time to turn this trilogy into a well-rounded experience that satisfies tastes and cravings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner."This intermingling of inspirations is best embodied by acclaimed English artist Damien Hirst's Secret Gardens Paintings series, whose striking floral motifs add unexpected pop touches to the space. "The variety of colors and textures in his pieces speak to the range of flavors and textures you can enjoy while dining at abc kitchens," adds the chef.The restaurant's retro-futuristic private dining room(Image credit: abc kitchens. Design: Rémi Tessier)Think anything from melt-in-your-mouth, sweet Orkney sea scallop tartare with shiso, kohlrabi, plum sesame, smoky crisp cabbage with roasted kabocha squash, Asian pear, and miso dressing to deliciously refreshing heirloom beet carpaccio with avocado purée, pea guacamole, crunchy tortillas, garlicky shrimps, and fragrant arroz con pollo with lemon zest and black pepper. Not forgetting the multisensory work of art that is the gold leaf-encrusted hibiscus poached pear dessert — the ultimate palate cleanser for sweet-toothed gourmands.Thanks to its worldly, tapas-style dining experience, where the collective enjoyment of food integral to Latin American and Southern European cultures meets the meticulous precision of French and Asian cuisine, and the heartwarming nostalgia of American diners, abc kitchens transforms meals into an opportunity for connection while continuously striving to push the boundaries of gastronomic innovation."The goal at abc kitchens is to facilitate a fun dining experience, where guests can share different dishes and flavors together," concludes Vongerichten. "It's the way I love to eat with my friends and family, and we encourage the same for people dining at our restaurants."Plus, if you are an interior enthusiast, the food is just the starter: head to The Emory's rooftop to discover what's for main.Book your table at abc kitchens.

so crazy to sign a lease and then throw a party with all your friends and then wake up next to a beautiful woman and then go see barbie and then day drink at mario batali's eataly and then go see a lot of famous works of art and then get really stoned and watch 2 episodes of riverdale

[eternal-learner]

i can find any peter outerbridge character attractive no matter how creepy or vile they are (henrik, denis, etc). in fact, naughtiness can add to the appeal. but the one exception i've found so far is theodore gray from 'the rendering'. man looks like mario batali being possessed by hopkins' hannibal. wouldn't fuck him with a 10 foot pole, which is a credit to his acting abilities

[goddessactuality]

Which idiot named him Mario Batali and not Supper Mario
