We need to figure out a 'harvest system' to collect the produce that stores don't put out for customers to buy because it's not perfect looking. Frankly, the stuff left to rot in the storeroom is more beautiful to me than the perfect carrot. I'm a gnarly carrot kind of guy. Mario Batali
Shop often, shop hard, and spend for the best stuff available - logic dictates that you can make delicious food only with delicious ingredients. Mario Batali
Working at the Food Bank with my kids is an eye-opener. The face of hunger isn't the bum on the street drinking Sterno; it's the working poor. They don't look any different, they don't behave any differently, they're not really any less educated. They are incredibly less privileged, and that's it. Mario Batali
All the information you could want is constantly streaming at you like a runaway truck - books, newspaper stories, Web sites, apps, how-to videos, this article you're reading, even entire magazines devoted to single subjects like charcuterie or wedding cakes or pickles. Mario Batali
The way the bankers have kind of toppled the way money is distributed, and taken most of it into their own hands, is as good as Stalin or Hitler. Mario Batali

Finishing food is about the tiny touches. In the last seconds you can change everything. Mario Batali
As far away as you can get from the process of mechanisms and machinery, the more likely your food's going to taste good. And that - that is probably the largest thing I can hand to anybody is let your hands touch it. Let them make it. Mario Batali
Close your eyes and place your finger on a map. Wherever it lands, that's the theme of the evening. So many times we settle for routine dishes. This forces you to try new cuisines. Mario Batali
Mario Batali quote: "Look at cookbooks with your kids and ask them what sounds good."
Look at cookbooks with your kids and ask them what sounds good. Mario Batali
The hardest part of anything is making a dish consistently great - you order it seven years later, if it's still on the menu, and it's still as good as what you remember. Mario Batali
You know, when you get your first asparagus, or your first acorn squash, or your first really good tomato of the season, those are the moments that define the cook's year. I get more excited by that than anything else. Mario Batali
I was at a party, and some squiggly looking dude with a bow tie came up and said, 'How'd you like to be on TV?' Turns out he was the programming guy at the Food Network. They had me come into the office, and I did a 'Ready, Set, Cook' with Emeril Lagasse, I believe. Mario Batali
Jimmy Fallon and I play regularly at the Bayonne Golf Club in Jersey. He's eighteen holes of fun. Any time we play he has moments of brilliance, but also moments of utter catastrophe. Mario Batali
You have to be generous if you want to spend your time making someone else dinner. Even if you're charging, you're still giving. Mario Batali
Mario Batali quote: "I can teach a chimp how to make linguini and clams. I can't..."
I can teach a chimp how to make linguini and clams. I can't teach a chimp to dream about it and think about how great it is. Mario Batali
