The Meatball Shop - Serving Up Succulent Orbs of Scrumptiosness
It was a sunny Sunday and my Dad was visiting. The man is probably the handiest person I know, so within minutes of his arrival, we had put him to work moving an electric outlet in our kitchen so that we (err...he) could build a new shelf and we could reclaim one square foot of counter space that had otherwise been hogged by a microwave and toaster oven. He woke up at 4am to do the work, so 'round about noon and after our morning run, it was long past time to get some food. DG and I and, judging by the perpetual long waits to secure a table, the rest of New York City, had been wanting to try The Meatball Shop ever since we caught wind of it's opening. So, we decided try our luck in an effort to thank my Dad for his handiwork in meatball form.
By the luck of who-knows-what, we strolled right into the restaurant, had a seat at the communal table and ordered up three meatball heroes:
1. Classic Beef + Spicy Meat Sauce
2. Spicy Pork + Parmesan Cream
3. Chicken + Mushroom Gravy
We sliced each sandwich into thirds and dug in. And. they. were. delicious. Savory, flavorful and above all, comforting. Judging by my father's silence (a rare occasion!), these little meatballs were a 'thank you' well received.
