MB, the writer and GP just went on and on about what they were eating. MB and GP had breakfast and MB is going on about his food....and the fact that it's meat-"you can taste the barn".....GP is making faces and instead of taking the high road, she's making comments about back at him.

People wonder why the PETA/veggie people and regular carnivores don't get along. There is a certain amount of stupidity on both sides. I never liked Batali and found that his attitude toward GP was really nasty and rude. GP gets back at him by making snippy comments about eating meat. Here you have people on a culinary vacation of a lifetime and they are being AHs toward each other because one does and the other doesn't eat meat.

Last week the writer and GP had grilled veggies done up in oil over an open fire. Instead of giving a detailed rundown of what they were eating, they had to have a conversation about how Mario would react to a meal without meat.

I was never a fan of either MB or GP, this just reinforces my feelings toward them.
