      <![CDATA[The Scene has an odd way of remembering people, especially those whose influence and achievements basically enabled the foodie atmosphere so many of you now enjoy (and dare I say, profit from ?).<br>
<br>
Maybe the Scene is just remembering when its writers - and their articles - actually mattered. Deaths and holidays do have a way of making us all a little nostalgic.

      <![CDATA[I remember the "pork" controversy well and wonder why the TENNESSEAN, which referenced Mario's divorces in its otherwise apparent attempt to balance a glowing farewell piece, didn't mention it. Was this because the current regime wasn't around when Mario's porkgate happened and didn't know about it?

      <![CDATA[Mario was such an inspiration to Bill and I. Without his mentoring we probably would not have started our restaurant, which has been operating for 20 years. Beneath the veneer was a really wonderful and kind person with a big heart.

      <![CDATA[I respected Mario's passion for food and wine-- Nashville was so far behind other cities that for many people, Mario's epitomized fine dining. It was definitely the power dinner of the 1970s and '80s.
