Ep. 990 Dino Borri | On The Road With Stevie Kim

Welcome to episode 990, another installment of 'On The Road Edition', hosted by Stevie Kim. Today she is roaming Eataly in New York with Dino Borri! More about Eataly: In November 2002, the Eataly concept was born from Oscar Farinetti’s idea sketched on a piece of paper. As a result, Eataly stands for “Eating Italian” which encompasses the history and the food culture of Italy, the ease to prepare its dishes, and the many qualities that Italy has to offer. After five years of research and hard work, the first Eataly opened its doors in Torino on January 27, 2007, when an old vermouth factory was transformed into Eataly Torino Lingotto – the very first multifunctional marketplace dedicated to Italian excellence in the world. And the rest is history. Since then, Eataly has expanded, with more than 35 locations throughout Italy and the world. The idea was simple: to gather under one roof high-quality food at sustainable and reasonable prices for ALL, celebrate Italian biodiversity, and create an informal, natural, and simple place to eat, shop, and learn. More about Dino Borri: Born and raised in Bra, a small town in Piemonte, Dino started his career in the food realm in 2000, when Slow Food hired him to organize and coordinate all their gastronomic events. In 2008, Dino started collaborating with Eataly Turin, where he soon became the person in charge of opening new Eatalian stores all around the world. He lived in Japan for one year, where he curated the opening of all the Eataly Japanese stores, and moved to New York in 2010, to launch the first US location, Eataly New York. Living and breathing high quality food and Mediterranean lifestyle, Dino is now concentrating on developing key partnerships and relationships with like-minded Italian brands abroad, and is Eataly’s USA director of purchasing.
