Batali To Sell Bistro

Mario Batali. It's already been a difficult year for Food Network mainstay Mario Batali, who has been involved in a much-publicized battle with his landlord over at Del Posto, his newest restaurant. Now, the New York Post reports that Mr. Batali is putting Bistro du Vent on the market. The 42nd Street eatery has only been open for about 15 months. - Michael Calderone
