American food trucks will serve lobster rolls and burgers at Expo Milano 2015, a world’s fair with nearly 150 countries participating that opens in May and runs through October just outside Milan. The theme is food — feeding the planet — which is a first for a world’s fair. The United States pavilion will have a 7,200-square-foot working vertical farm. There will also be a James Beard Foundation-sponsored restaurant in downtown Milan, where a roster of about 50 chefs, including Rick Bayless, Tom Colicchio, Daniel Humm, Marc Murphy, Barbara Lynch and the White House chef, Cris Comerford, will cook on a rotating basis. And to showcase iconic American meals, a Thanksgiving menu will be served every Thursday; and on Sundays, brunch: usapavilion2015.net.
