IMO, Batali ranks right up there with CNN's Bourdain on the creep scale. Never could stand him. He was always kissing up to Obama, which didn't help.

I wonder what Ann Burelle has to say. She was his sous-chef for at at least 20 contests on Iron Chef America and, I believe, lesbian.

One more guy seems to admit guilt rather than refute the charges.

Wonder why that is? Harumph...

In the wake of the allegations, the Food Network announced it is putting plans to relaunch his seminal show, "Molto Mario," next year on hold.

Nice double entendre, Maura.

I love Batali! He’s so intelligent and passionate about food and origins of food and cooking. I was even semi attracted to him just because of his impassioned intelligence, realizing, and let’s be clear, he’s not exactly my physical type. Haha. But did he really go nuts over Obama?! Because that would kill my attraction to him totally. (Please say no!;)

I have spent my entire life (70 yrs) in some form of hospitality. At my dubious peak, I owned three restaurants. Two in Atlanta and one in Florida. What absolutely amuses me is the term “Chef”. I can guarantee true “Chefs” are as rare as 40 year old virgins. The word is cook is more appropriate and most of them have a variety of problems. You would too if your life revolved around the “line”. Thank God, for retirement. :)

Isn’t Batali the fool who didn’t want Republicans in his restaurants?
