That’s Amore

Breaking news: diners’ favorite dish at Macaroni Grill is pasta.

Also, Italy is the most popular fantasy vacation destination for Americans. I never would’ve guessed.

And this is my dream kitchen.

Would someone please explain America’s fascination with all things Tuscan? I feel like there is some obvious pop culture influence that I’m naively unaware of just like when I read that someone named Nate Berkus is the most trusted celebrity among US adults. Seriously, who the fuck is Nate Berkus? Oprah’s interior designer, it turns out. Does everyone know this?

Mario Batali came it at number three, so maybe there’s a bizarre connection between Italianism and trustworthiness that translates to kitchen design.
