Mario Batali is maybe, sort of confident that Eataly will open in Toronto

While in town last week for the Delicious Food Show, Mario Batali managed to add some fuel to the long-smoldering rumours that Eataly, the fancy Italian-food mall with locations in Turin, Tokyo, Rome, Milan, New York and Chicago, is headed to Toronto. (Batali, at least, is a pretty good source of intel—he co-owns both of Eataly’s existing North American locations.) Last Friday, this very hedge-y quote, attributed to Batali, appeared on the Delicious show’s Twitter feed:

"Maybe, most certainly, most likely, @Eataly will come to Toronto." – @Mariobatali #DFS14

This isn’t the first time Batali has baited us with vaguely optimistic Eataly predictions. [Via Post City]
