Mario Batali welcomed Jake Lacy, who just began appearing on the show Girls. He explained that he’s just now realizing what it means to be famous, because people have just recently started recognizing him in public. The handsome actor shared that he enjoys cooking at home, but was unsure if he was a good cook. He admitted to cooking a lot of pizza on a pizza stone with fresh mozzarella. It’s a good thing his wife his Italian and it sounded like he likes Italian food, because Mario Batali enlisted his help to make Sicilian Meatballs. These delicious meatballs are perfect by themselves but even better when served over a dish like Michael Symon’s Perfect Mashed Potatoes.
