Nancy & Mario

Until they joined forces to create the Mozzaplex in LA, Nancy Silverton and Mario Batali were like the Tupac and Biggie of carbs. In California, Silverton courted sourdough and grilled cheese fans at her popular La Brea Bakery and at Campanile, while Batali repped the East Coast with his pasta-centric Babbo and Del Posto restaurants.

Until they joined forces to create the Mozzaplex in LA, Nancy Silverton and Mario Batali were like the Tupac and Biggie of carbs. In California, Silverton courted sourdough and grilled cheese fans at her popular La Brea Bakery and at Campanile, while Batali repped the East Coast with his pasta-centric Babbo and Del Posto restaurants. The dynamic cooking duo takes us back to the moment they met, the inspirations behind their new cookbooks, Mozza at Home and Big American Cookbook, and their plans to bring Eataly to LA.

Music: "The French Kiss" and "Glad"
