CONTEST ALERT: Mario Batali Makes Meatballs on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tonight! You Can Be There
Thursday, September 27, 2007
Molto Mario Batali, late of the Mozza empire and general chef/rockstar fame, will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight making meatball sandwiches. Other guests include Danny DeVito, who makes a limoncello snowcone, and Frankie Valli, all on hand to celebrate their Italian heritage and push Kimmel's Precious Cheese Feast of San Gennaro, which takes place this weekend. (Show airs 12:05 AM/11:05c.) As a special to Eater LA, the show has put aside two VIP tickets to the taping for a lucky pair of you fine people. The first person to send us their best Mozza story---Pizzeria or Osteria, real or invented---takes the prize. It's that simple. We'll pick and post the winner at 2pm. That leaves plenty of time to find a pair of orange Crocs to wear.

*Important caveat: contest winner must be available tonight and able to be in Hollywood at 5:30 PM.
the only interesting story i have from there was on the second day it opened. I happened to be there and my group of five was waiting for some seats to open up and there was one that we could take for four and we said we'd take it since we were waiting for two hours but just then (like 5 seconds after since they overheard us) a group of five said they were leaving but the host wouldn't let us change our mind....Since we had already given our word. I didn't mind too much b/c the pizza was fantastic and they gave us a free salad (unrelated issues). I've never had any problems since or had to wait that long (but I never go at peak hours)...
