Mario, brothers and sisters.

I'd been planning to riff on Mr. Molto's jowls, and I see that the Grey Lady got the worm, Mario-wise.  A report on his bucatini all'amatriciana to follow, but get started on the requisite guanciale now. It's like having Sly and Robbie in your pasta sauce. As an aside, while I am skeptical of the whole Iconoclasts series, I thought it was cool that Mario, as an exponent of a notably homophobic industry, held hands w/ Stipe in the publicity shots (can't find online). The whole Stipe/Batali alliance was inexplicable, until Teodor explained it. Speaking of which, if you could make your own Iconoclast matchup, what would it be? I'd like to see G.G. Allin and Coco Chanel.

I assume, La D., that you're not speaking literally of GG's asshole. Though this is an unwarranted assumption considering the object.

bucatini is similar to perciatelli, no? (perciatelloni is bigger).
