Mario Batali Hits, Hearts Smorgasburg

The 2012 Smorgasburg season was already off to a great start this year (4-for-4 on sunny days hasn’t hurt!) but the weekly food market on the Williamsburg waterfront got an extra jolt of electricity when Mario Batali showed up on Saturday with his wife and kids to sample as much as he could of the hundred vendors. How’d he like it? Immensely, judging from his Tweets. “HFS. Smorgasburg may be the greatest thing I’ve tasted in NYC!” went his first Tweet. (HFS= Holy F’ing S#!+.) Another: “We did not have one unbrilliant bite!! Go wild!!” And lastly: “It was gustatory genius!! Thanks!!”
