Mario Batali Foursquare Badge
by Chaunce Dolan on Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
Foursquare released its first high-profile chef badge for Mario Batali. Its design has a golden yellow badge border and brown background with Mario Batali’s logo and name on it.
You’ve now eaten at a plateful of Mario’s restaurants! You clearly love pizza, pasta and the classic design of orange rubber footwear. Now put down that phone and let’s eat!
How to unlock: Follow Mario Batali and 3 checkins at his restaurants, between the times of 7pm & 1am (local time)
Location: New York, LA
Venues
New York
Lupa Osteria Romana
Otto Enoteca Pizzeria
Casa Mono
Manzo

Tried several of his tips, and went to his website and checked into a few of his personal venues… no dice. Is this one active yet? I checked a lot of his other followers and no one else seems to have any luck. Please post if you find the key venue.
Can´t seem to get it either!!!
Just added venues. Check again
Just unlocked it… These three venues worked..
I tried yesterday, but no dice! Will try tonight once more.
I meant the first 3 venues in NY worked for me..

Is it not unlockable at his restaurants in Vegas?
Hi.
i’ve tried to checkin in five different venues and nothing.
need to shout something or to checkin in a precise order?
Thanks
Hi Jessica! I also posted this note on The Kruser site: “What happened to Las Vegas?!? Are we chopped liver (BTW, a great appetizer at his Carnevino)? Mario has two very successful restaurants with CarneVino and B&B! He even has a Batali’s Farmer’s Market on Thursday’s locally so why can’t these venues be included?!?”
can,t unlock badge in all over the place..
I cant unlock the badge.
it seems that badge is unlockable only at dinner time or something like that.
Hey. This badge is not starting from 7pm.. my friends unlocked it at 6.25pm and 6.42pm.. i think is starts from 6pm..
Great to know!
Thanks
GREAT! Another badge I can’t get! And yet another reason not to live somewhere other than LA, New York, or London if you’re addicted to this silly game.
Managed to unlocked this badge by checked in the first three venues in NY at 7:48pm local time.
What happened to Las Vegas?!? Are we chopped liver?? Mario has two very successful restaurants with CarneVino and B&B! He even has a Batali’s Farmer’s Market on Thursday’s locally so why can’t these venues be included???!!!
The venues above are merely a list of where the badge has been unlocked, not exclusive venues where it can be unlocked. It is quite possible that you may be able to unlock it at his restaurants in Vegas. If you happen to, let us know so we can update the list.
It works!!! I did check into B&B at The Venetian in Las Vegas, AFTER I checked into Carnevino; both are Batali restaurants. I had an incredible appetizer and a Perfect Manhattan at Carne’s bar. Joe the bartender is a perfectionist so the “Perfect” in that Manhattan was appropriate. Then I went to B&B for a vino and entree and there it was after only TWO check-in’s I got the badge!!
Is active also during lunch: we unlocked it at 12.30
Hey.. additional info..
