I used to work there in 2006/2007.
The crunch in the food wasn't a crouton if you catch my drift.

Please explain how it would be better for Eataly to open inside the former Pickle Barrel at the Atrium, instead of the Eaton Centre. Would it be like the TARDIS?
Based on your comments in this thread, it seems like you've never been inside an Eataly location.

Nothing wrong with Eataly. It's touristy, but it's not awful like some tourist traps. I ate at the Eataly in Vegas recently. It wasn't cheap, but it was still better food qauilty and similar priced as the naerby crappy fast food resturants.

Because if you did you would have realised it wouldn't fit in the Pickle Barrel space.
Eataly is made up of a number of different functional spaces like butchers, bakers, etc that wouldn't easily work in the Pickle Barrel space.
As I said, I've worked there before. I knew the space well. I even rode inside the Dumbwaiter there.
The space isn't designed to fit Eataly nor is the basement layout ideal.

Maybe you should, you know, actually walk into an Eataly to reduce your ignorance of it.

If you are going to pontificate on things it is usually best to have actually experienced them or investigated them. You may well not need them (or they you) but in that case why comment at all? I have been to several Eatalys in Italy and elsewhere - they are a bit touristy but, as noted above by @gabe , the food and ambiance is actually quite good.

* Cross-Post* From the Eaton Centre Renewal thread.
I can now reveal..............
The new anchor tenant in the former Nordstrom box at TEC is Simons.
In addition to Simons and Eataly, Nike will also be taking space here.
The new Simons is 110,000 ft2
While Nike is taking 18,000 ft2
Rendering of the new facade of the TEC (former) Nordstrom box:

La Maison Simons to Open Stores at CF Toronto Eaton Centre and Yorkdale in Former Nordstrom Spaces
The Quebec-based retailer will open large stores in part of the former Nordstrom boxes in Canada’s top two most productive malls, as part of an ongoing expansion.

And on Nike, here:
Nike Flagship to Open at CF Toronto Eaton Centre as Cadillac Fairview Fully Tenants Former Nordstrom Space
It will be the second Nike flagship for Toronto’s downtown core, with the former Nordstrom space in the mall to be fully tenanted with Nike, Eataly and La Maison Simons.

I kinda figured Simons would take this opportunity to open a store downtown. It only makes sense.

Does anyone have a sense of how the ground floor is going to be configured?

Some of the articles have mentioned a hallway running through the centre of the bottom floor of the former Nordstrom space, so presumably Nike will be on the West side, with Eataly and Simons on the East side of that hallway. So you won't be walking through a store to go from the north entrance to the rest of the mall anymore.
