Mario Batali lives here

I just read that celebrity chef, Mario Batali, has his "getaway home" in Northern Michigan. (In the Grand Traverse Bay/Leelanau Peninsula area.) “Michigan is my antidote to Manhattan. This is where I come to relax,” says Mario. It’s interesting to know an Italian chef would select Michigan over, let’s say, Lake Como. My getaway house would have to be outside of Michigan… somewhere far, far away. Where? Oh, the location changes by the day. Sometimes by the hour.
