Ok, to get you up to speed (not sure how much you may know of this), Gwyneth Paltrow is in Spain after her brief hospital stint in the US finally doing the food show with Mario Batali.

What? You didn’t know she was sick? In mid-January she checked into New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital Monday for “a little gastrointestinal situation”. Yes, not exactly the best thing to have before going to Spain and eating up the countryside, supposedly.

What? You didn’t know about the food show? Ok, have you really been hiding under a rock the past six months? This is the one where when Mario “left” Food Network — he’s still an American Iron Chef so he didn’t really “leave” and he then left is more like the Food Network “left him” by not opting for any Molto Mario contuinations …

Anwways, this is the show Mario and Gwyneth are doing for PBS. It’s about Spain, not Italy. Which is why it’s called “Spain: On The Road Again”. Mario actually owns a restaurant in Spain (bet that one you didn’t know!) and the show is expected to air this October. Also “The Minimalist” himself, Mark Bittman, is part of the travelling crew as well. That should be a fun ride!

And, if you want to see some pics, check them out over here, and finally, yeah, I know Pop Sugar instead of Yum Sugar as the venue. Whodda thought?
