Required Eating

Mario Batali made the braciole from his new book, Italian Grill, on Jimmy Kimmel's show last night. Kimmel did indicate he knew his braciole. "I'm from Brooklyn," he said. That, Mario said, is known as "Western Italy." The whole exchange, after the jump.

Batali: We're going to make beef braciole, now are you familiar with that?

Kimmel: Well yeah, my family always said bra-CHOLE... we didn't pronounce that right?

Mario: The Italian word is brah-CHO-leh and each different province has its own dialect or it's own little accent. So your family, that's probably a southern Italian family?

Kimmel: Well, we're in Brooklyn.

Mario: Brooklyn? That's western Italian culture.

wow. i guess i've never heard mario speak before, and after just finishing bill buford's Heat, i was surprised to see that Mario sounds like a skinny white kid from Connecticut. His voice is almost girly! Especially for such a big guy that supposedly loves to drink and party and stay out late, etc...
