There will be many great celebrity chefs and authors stopping by McCormick Place's Grand Concourse at this year's Show, but one you definitely don't want to miss is Renaissance man Mario Batali.
The master of Italian cuisine not only knows his way around a kitchen (and sausages apparently!), but he also operates several of his own restaurant enterprises in New York City, penned several award-winning books and remains ubiquitous in the television and online mediascapes.
And yes, he loves Crocs.
Batali will be signing his latest book, Italian Grill, at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, May 17. He definitely will be the man of the hour, with or without his favorite footwear. Maybe he'll even put in an appearance at the Crocs booth.
Get more details here about Batali and other big names appearing at the NRA Show!

Meat scarfs are totally making a comeback. Mario and Rick Bayless are reason enough to check out the show this year.
