Chef Mario Batali's Culinary Road Trip

When award-winning celebrity chef Mario Batali takes a road trip, you can bet gas station beef jerky and giant sodas aren't the only thing on the menu. Mario recently took a trip that any foodie would salivate over—a road trip across Spain with no destination other than a good meal.

Although Oprah and Gayle had their own infamous road trip adventure together, she says Mario's culinary quest is much more her style. "That would really be my dream trip of a lifetime," Oprah says.

Mario is literally eating his way across Spain for the PBS special Spain...On the Road Again. Known for his bold cuisine on Iron Chef America and larger-than-life charm, Mario has six popular cookbooks and has built a restaurant empire with 13 top-rated restaurants.
