ABOUT

“Food and farmers. Restaurants and chefs.”

That’s what Waterloo Region Eats is all about: where to eat and what to eat … and who’s cooking it.

From pupusas among the unique ethnic culinary offerings found in downtown Kitchener to the pig tails and rolled ribs that are the foundation of Waterloo County fare, WREats is an instructive and friendly resource for food lovers in Waterloo Region.

Local food commentator Andrew Coppolino talks food on “The Food Show” on 570 News, visits local restaurant kitchens on Rogers TV “Grand River Living,” and writes about food in various print publications, including The Kitchener Post.

A couple of years of cooking in a professional kitchen in Waterloo Region helped him decide he wanted to work with food from the other side of the stove. And so he does … Waterloo Region Eats is his signature dish.

Please contact him at andrew@waterlooregioneats.com or 519.569.0576.
