If you're like me, you're always searching for the next incredible meal. The place where all of the locals go, the place that is standing room only, the place where everyone sits down hungry and leaves satisfied. From the out-of-the-way locations to the most popular dining establishments, I take you around the world on a quest for the perfect meals that tickle the taste buds.
Enter Eataly and you will immediately recognize that this is not your everyday food hall. Steeped with history and packed with culinary delights lingering on every corner, you can see Joe Bastianich and his mother Lidia's signature on every aspect of this Italian food lovers dream. Choose from quick-service counters or sit-down restaurants, or shop for gourmet Italian ingredients to prepare in your own kitchen at home. One bite of the La Foccacia counter's perfectly baked Italian flatbread and you will know you have entered a foodie's haven. Of course, if you're searching for a little more protein, you can saunter over to the La Rosticceria counter for the ultimate meat lovers fare. The fennel rubbed turkey breast sourced from Burkholder, Goods, & Zimmerman Farms in Pennsylvania will have you making plans for a return visit! Layered on rustic artisan bread, drizzled with olive oil and spices, this is a turkey sandwich you will not soon forget! While at Eataly, be sure to take some time to explore this foodie paradise, taking it all in before taking some extra special items home with you! Soon you, too, will be able to say you are officially an "Eatalian!"
