A Second Helpings reader alerted us to yesterday's story in The New York Post that said Mario Batali was canned from The Food Network. Not sure what the deal is, but I do know Batali is scheduled to tape an Iron Chef showdown with Naked Chef Jamie Oliver this month. (See post below.) And he's heading to Spain to film a new TV series - NOT on the Food Network - with Mark Bittman from The New York Times and Gwyneth Paltrow. Talk about an odd trio. When I interviewed Bittman for a story a couple of months ago, he told me about the Batali series and said he was taking Spanish lesson. (Mario, who lived in Spain, is already fluent.)
Mario hasn't filmed new episodes of "Molto Mario" in a long time and there's a new search and series about to begin called "The Next Iron Chef." Giada is the new face of Italian food on FN.
I think you can read between the lines.

" Giada is the new face of Italian food on FN."
This made me laugh so hard. Don't you mean the new "chest" of Italian cooking on FN? Who looks at her face when what is below her neck is defying the laws of gravity?
I was watching Tim Gunn "re-do" someone the other night, and his question to her was "do your boobs always have to be hanging out? Why?" He could ask Giada the same question.
