Jeremiah Tower<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Celebrity chefs Mario Batali and Jeremiah Tower are teaming up to open a restaurant on the Amalfi Coast in Italy together. The project seems to have been borne from what sounded like an off-hand\u00a0statement from Tower\u00a0during\u00a0an interview with Bon Appetit magazine published this week.<\/p>\n
Buried at the very bottom of the story, Tower says there\u2019s one thing that could lure him back into the kitchen. \u201cIf\u00a0Mario Batali\u00a0would like to open a restaurant on the Amalfi Coast with me, I would do it.\u00a0Until then, he\u2019ll be eating tacos.\u201d<\/p>\n
It seems his taco-eating days in Mexico where he currently lives, may be fewer and far between after Batali took to Twitter to confirm that the project is a go.\u00a0In reply to a tweet that links to the story, Batali wrote \u201cWe are in the planning phase. Stay tuned!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Tower has been doing\u00a0the media circuit recently to promote a new documentary produced by Anthony Bourdain, that chronicles his career as a rising chef at Chez Panisse in California,\u00a0and one of the most influential figures in American gastronomy.<\/p>\n
Food blog Eater.com confirmed the news with Batali\u2019s spokesperson, who said the chefs are looking for beach-front properties between\u00a0Atrani\u00a0and\u00a0Vietri\u00a0along the Amalfi Coast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
