Did Somebody Cut the Cheese?!

Living in New York as an art business student is perfect - there are museums, galleries, and auction houses galore! Living in New York as a FOODIE could arguably be even better....not too far from my apartment is Mario Batali's new jont Eataly. This is a massive grocery store devoted entirely to italian food. There are a few restaurants categorized by the food they serve...there is a vegetarian restaurant, a fish, pizza, pasta, you get it! One of my go to stations makes fresh mozzarella. This gooey beautiful cheese is made right in front of customers! One day I would love to make my own cheese...but until then Eataly will do!

The mozzarella chef makes the cheese then grates it with an old fashioned Italian grater into small slices.
 Next time you are there, ask him for a sample. Your taste buds will thank you!

He then melts it in a temperature controlled bath of warm water and kneads it into balls of cheese!
