It's not often that your chef comes home and asks, "How would you make a 100 pound meatball?" Now I wouldn't even begin to tackle that challenge so I just sat, stunned. A publicity event has got my chef rolling in meatballs.
Here is a photo essay of the trek a chef takes to create a 100 pound meatball. This is only the beginning- and only the TEST ball. Today is Wednesday and it won't be ready until Monday morning.

Chef Anthony, he's really not a small guy- just looks miniscule compared to 130 pounds of uncooked meat |

It's beginning to bake. I'm reminded a certain red head who's six foot loaf of bread started out very similarly to this.... |
