Pandora, the Mario Batali we'd generally think of in the U.S. is
a chef specializing in Italian food (and of Italian descent, too, but
he's definitely American - spent some time learning his trade in
Italy, though). He's on a couple of TV shows on the U.S. Food
Network, has a number of cookbooks out, etc..

Here's more on "our" Mario Batali:
