Fabio Viviani

So yesterday I spent a good deal of time at work on the internet and one website I was looking at was fabioviviani.com.  On his site, there's information about his restaurants, a biography, some pictures and videos, and his blog.  His blog is absolutely funny and entertaining.  I'm personally not much of a blog reading person and really only started reading blogs a couple months ago.  Fabio's blog, though, is highly entertaining because he writes the same way he talks which is usually in broken English.  It's amusing not because he doesn't know how to speak English very well but because he's just being himself.  Within his videos section, there's one where he is in Miami for some food and wine festival and Top Chef: All Stars is on TV.  He missed the TV showing but is able to watch the episode on some website so he records himself watching the episode while also tweeting and also eating dinner in his hotel room.  Since he's recording himself he's talking to the camera but also talking to his buddies in the episode.  It's thoroughly entertaining.  Also, there's a couple videos of a dog that he recorded playing with a ball in a water fountain and he keeps inferring that the dog is drunk.  I like these videos just because the dog is very cute.  I'm a dog lover and previous owner, by the way.  Anyways check out his website if you have a chance.  Here's some quotes that come from his website too...

"You don't know how much you love food until you have to walk through hell barefoot to make the exact dish that you have in mind."

"Cooking is a marathon, not a sprint.  You can get to the end and be happy even if you limp a little bit."

"Life is hard already, but if you're stupid could be even harder..."

Also here's a link to watch that video of Fabio watching Top Chef, eating a salad, and tweeting.  Enjoy.
