Mario Launches A Children's Foundation
Mario Batali Launches a Children's Foundation
Posted by Erin Zimmer, May 5, 2009 at 5:30 PM
In 2007, Mario Batali raised between 1.3 and 1.5 million bucks for charity. Yeah, not many people can just snap their fingers and do that. While he supports the arts, and other causes that have happily received his big money, Batali is ready to focus on one specific passion—kids. He has two sons and says he's pretty transfixed with little ones in general.
"I've always found kids fascinating. As opposed to other restaurants, where you might find a loud child annoying, us Italians like to pick them up and walk them around. Sure, at a swanky restaurant, it's something different, but I don't own any of those," he said over the phone.
