The name's Balls, Meatballs

So this summer I was introduced to The Meatball Shop in NYC ... and I kinda liked it the first night I went, the second night ... Margie (the sister) bought me the cookbook.  So, given that I have the cookbook, I figured I should take a couple pages out of the book.  I enlisted some help from Chef Matt to make this dinner.


We led off with the Buffalo Chicken balls ... they were rolled small sized and served with a blue cheese dressing (we bailed and used store bought for the blue cheese).


Before showing off the balls, let me introduce the side act.  I served creamy garlic polenta, mashed potatoes & a crazy awesome smashed horseradish turnip dish (from the cookbook).


For the balls, we did four kinds.  Bottom left was the reuben ball (literally tastes exactly like a reuben sandwich), bottom right was the Bambi ball (venison and chocolate), above that was the jerk chicken ball and finally was the crab cake ball ... I was a little shocked to see the recipe call for crushed kettle cooked chips instead of bread [yes I checked the internet before I posted this] ... but it was amazing!
