Robert Bozzo
Hey everyone, my name is Rob. I'm 23 years old, Hamilton-Ontario born and bred, and this is going to be one hell of a food journey. Most of us enjoy trying new things - I've been lucky to have parents who can cook some awesome dishes, sometimes trying their hand at a bunch of different cuisines (think Mexican, Chinese, Greek, Southern USA BBQ, Middle Eastern, etc.). Most of us enjoy travelling - seeing new locales, the way someone halfway across the world lives, sharing their culture. Most of us like eating - can't really elaborate on that one. So as it stands: I like things that are new. I like to travel and eat. Put it together, what does that spell? Treat New Veal? No, no. That won't do. I'll come up with my 'nickname' in another blog post. Now let's go eat some culture! *crowd roars*

I've always been quite the 'plain jane' when it comes to food. As a kid I was an extremely picky eater, and if it wasn't chicken, fruit, rice or doused in peanut butter, I probably wouldn't eat it! Nowadays my taste buds have blossomed into big weirdos. For a girl who orders no tomatoes or cheese on anything. I certainly had no problem eating alligator, shark or vegemite. Working at a summer camp also teaches you many fantastic things about food. For example, that PEANUT BUTTER and CHIPS are a great topping for a FIRE ROASTED HOTDOG; doritos dipped in sour cream and hot sauce is to die for; and it also reassures your firm belief in the '5 SECOND RULE', and not to brag or anything.... but I can knock back a bowl of pudding or Jell-O in 6 seconds flat, with no hands! But kidding aside, this food journey I'm about to embark on is slightly terrifying but exciting at the same time. I am interested and eager in trying other countries' cuisines, and I am truly happy I get to do so with my friends!
Daniel "there's always room for dessert/do I have to wear pants?" Mariella
When I think of food, I typically think of things that you put in your mouth with the intention of digesting it for nutrients. Among the foods which I enjoy consuming the most are THAI FOOD and RED MEAT. I like my steak like I like my women: hot and cooked on an open flame. As a level 78 Nord, my most distinguishing feature is my resistance to the cold and ability to swill unholy amounts of meat. I am always willing to try anything. I love the flavour of adventure and I never play by the rules.
Christopher Mariella
My name is Chris Mariella and I am a fourth year Life Sciences student at McMaster. I love the world of SOCCER, and I also coach it in the summer. I am really excited for this adventure because (as my girlfriend and fellow EAATer Alex tells me) I really need to BROADEN MY DIET to things other than steak and bacon. And so, I'll begin with an open mind, ready to try new foods foreign to me. Although when we get to the United States for the letter U (which I suggested), I'm going to have to order the biggest steak on the menu.
Alexandria Palazzo
My name is Alexandria Palazzo and I am a fourth year honours political science student at McMaster University. Born and raised in Stoney Creek, Ontario, I love to travel and I love to eat. But when those two things can't simultaneously happen, a bright group of people create their own 'Eating the World' journey. I am so excited about the cultural experience we will all be getting by eating food from various countries and cultures in the world at restaurants in and around the GTA. As I am slowly attempting to become a vegetarian, this journey will be extra exciting for me as I adjust to the cultures of each country. Hopefully one day, some of us, if not already, will visit many of the countries! Let the eating begin!
Paul Palazzo
My name is Paul Palazzo and I am a first year humanities student at McMaster University. I was born and raised in Stoney Creek. I am a first degree black belt in Karate at Perrins' Martial Arts Studio, where I was also selected as part of the Leadership Team and taught karate classes to children from ages 4 - 12. I love travelling and I love trying NEW and EXCITING food, so going to different restaurants serving foods from around the world will be an EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. I am very excited to try foods I have never been exposed to before, and hopefully find a new favourite meal. The cultural experience I will obtain by going to different restaurants and seeing the variety of ingredients from one country to another will be an experience I won’t soon forget. Bon Appétit!
and myself...
French teacher by day, and cake baker by night, I love food and I love travelling! So I'm beyond excited to be able to combine the two for this food adventure. I would love to be able to hop on a plane at a moment's notice and fly off to the farthest reaches of the world in search of authentic cuisine and to immerse myself in local culture. But let's be realistic, that ain't happenin'. Thankfully, living in a multicultural community allows us to explore a plethora of international cuisine without the expense of a plane ticket. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you can't travel to the country, bring the country to you! I used to be very hesitant in trying new dishes. An impromptu lunch with my mom and aunt to what would be my first Thai cuisine experience at the age of 12 led to a temper tantrum and eating only steamed rice. Now I find myself rather adventurous when it comes to trying new foods. Spice and heat used to be a problem too, but in the last couple of years, I can actually say I very much so enjoy spicy foods; it brings an extra level of character to the palette. I'd have to say that when at a restaurant, I'm more prone to eating certain dishes if they include MUSHROOMS, PINEAPPLE, EGGPLANT, AVOCADO, MANGO, and BRIE (obviously not all together). Anyway, I can't wait to start EAATworld nights with the 'cousins'; it doesn't get any better than this... Friends, Family, Fun, and Food! I feel a Lidia quote coming on... Tutti a tavola a mangiare!
