I’m the motha flippin’.

I’ll admit that I’m a fan of Mario Batali. Iron Chef America, Molto Mario, and now apparently he has a PBS show with Gwyneth Paltrow. The man’s a genius when it comes to food, even if everything dish he cooks costs a hundred dollars.

Looks like he’s starting to take advantage of his fame with some well-placed marketing. He has his own wine label, cheese, crocs, a Nintendo DS game in the works, and this wind-up doll that actually flips a pan of spaghetti and meatballs. Normally, I’d say this is ridiculous, but I really really want one of these dolls! They’re genius.

Sure, G.I. Joe has karate chop action, but I don’t see Duke making a delicious veal parmigiana. Transformers, well, transform, but they can’t turn raw ingredients into shrimp diavolo. Batali is on par with MacGyver.
