Host Jaclyn DeGiorgio, who considers herself Milan's cheerleader-in-chief, is a food tour guide and a food and travel writer who's lived in the Lombard capital for over a decade. The fiercest champion for her adopted city and its surroundings you'll ever meet, Jaclyn celebrates Milan's, and most of Northern Italy's, overlooked, though no less noteworthy, allure- especially on the food front.
