Mario Batali, the New York-based chef who is usually described as ebullient or ubiquitous or both, has just opened his second Hong Kong restaurant, Carnevino, and apparently is about to open his third. The first, Lupa, opened earlier this year in the new LHT Tower on Queen’s Road Central, downstairs from Carnevino. The third is to be in Causeway Bay, and all three are described as a way-station to China where Batali, as many a refrigerator salesman before him, believes an even bigger fortune lies once he opens yet more establishments, according to other media.
