Mario Batali Is A Genius

There is a site now up for Mario Batali’s new PBS show, “Spain..On The Road Again.” Apparently, Batali has convinced some public television executives that him, eating and driving his way through Spain in a convertible Mercedes-Benz with a food writer and two beautiful actresses, would make good television. And judging from the video sneak peek they’ve posted on the site, it probably will.

But Batali also gets to eat and drive driving his way through Spain in a convertible Mercedes-Benz with a food writer and two beautiful actresses.

That, my friends, is the kind of genius I can respect.
