The episode will also feature Mrs. Obama discussing her crusade to reduce childhood obesity through better school lunches, community gardens, farmers' markets and exercise. Mario Batali , perhaps not the most health-conscious man in America, told the New York Times: "What's exciting for us is this is the first time I can remember the White House taking an activ  

Tailgating is part of our cultural landscape, an open-air culinary ritual inexorably bound to sports and anchored to stadium parking lots and racetrack infields coast to coast. The almost omnipresent outdoor feast and has taken on some sophistication in recent years. Where beer once dominated, wine is making inroads, not so surprising when the best known tailgaters include celebrity chefs and wine enthusiasts are joined by some NASCAR legends.
