[post_page_title]Joining The Chew[/post_page_title]
Batali joined the cast of daytime talk show The Chew but admits that it was a risk to sign on., and that his business partner at the time didn’t want him to join. He nevertheless took the risk, despite not knowing, or particularly liking all of his co-hosts: “These are never people I would never have chosen as my roommates ever. But now that we’ve lived together for six years we love each other in crazy ways.”
