Mario Batali -- Don't Blame ME For Killing The Soaps!
Super chef Mario Batali -- who's starring in one of the shows replacing "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" -- has a serious reality check for soap-heads ... IT'S OVER!!!
Batali was on his way out of Spago yesterday -- when he dished out some straight talk to our soap-obsessed photog yesterday ... and then added, "I certainly don't want anyone out of a job ... I love everybody that works in the industry."
Batali is hosting a new daytime talk show called, "The Chew" ... which will follow "The View."
Adieu.
