Oh, Mario

Not only did Mario Batali's, ahem, colorful language become the media's defining moment of the past weekend's South Beach Wine & Food Fest, but it seems Miss Irene's four-starring of the Bazaar was particularly well-timed for the Spanish royalty's visit: "[Batali] noted that [Jose] Andres' Los Angeles restaurant, The Bazaar, had just received four stars from the Los Angeles Times. 'The most motherf------ stars of any Spanish restaurant in the U.S.,' Batali said. Those who were seated near the royal couple said the queen blanched. The king was cooler."
