So, the next city to score Joe Bastianich and Mario Batali's epic market of Italian foodstuffs, Eataly, will be Chicago, and a lease for the space is expected to be signed today. The 60,000-square-foot market will open September 2013 on Ohio Street near Michigan Avenue in the previous ESPN Zone sports bar home. As for additional expansion, Eatalys are next planned for LA; Istanbul; São Paulo, Brazil; and Bari, Italy. [NYT]
