Chef Mario Batali joined the circus in trying to get basketball player LeBron James to move to New York and play for the Knicks, offering a dinner every two weeks, "wherever you want, up to 20 people. I will make a dinner, not an Iron Chef dinner, a delicious dinner, in New York City, as a welcome." Batali was referencing chef Michael Symon's offer of a monthly "Iron Chef style dinner" if James were to stay in Cleveland. [Eater NY]
