Good Eats - S09E10P01 - Great Balls O' Meat

[lnclincoln]

I use lamb veal and round

[Solingen1000]

Is the butcher the hunchback guy with the bad teeth in other episodes??

[Hellsboundedsoul]

@Solingen1000 Yeah, when they hire an actor for the show, that one actor gets numerous roles through the season, they have that specfic actor come in the studio and do ALL the scenes that actor has for the season at one time.

[LinetteKTang]

there will be no balls with out meat...heheheh

[TypicalJAFO]

Interesting mix of meats. I'm not generally a big fan of lamb, but it looks like it would work well in this particular recipe.

"I have NEVER seen a REAL Italian do this."

Perhaps Alton would like to meet my grandmother...

[TheQxx]

@wyssmaster Likewise

[onizack]

THE BUTCHER IS THE CUSTOMER FROM THE BEGINNING.

[TheTemporaryTruth]

When Alton says "time consuming" he sounds just like Dexter from Dexter's Lab.

[smoofy94]

hah!! he sounded sweedish when he said "time consuming" at 9:45

[Jcolinsol]

Lucky, played by the great John Waters ladies and gentlemen!

[Railuge]

Is there one guy that goes through and dislikes all the episodes?

[silvr90210]

well i hate to say it but when i don't have all that good flavor i just through some diced bread meat egg water thyme parsly onion and garlic in a bowl and roll them right into a nice sauce and cook for a 1/2 hour 1 hour if im not hungry at the time(simmer)

[Irishqueen88]

was the butcher the dungon master?

[northernlights78]

Lol, my meat monger is almost that crazy!

[ChromaAurora]

Meatballs are rounded burgers,and burgers are flattened meatballs, right?

[Girtych]

@ChromaAurora Not quite. Burgers usually aren't seasoned as heavily as meatballs are.

[silvr90210]

@Girtych i made meatloaf that was basicly meatball in loaf form lol

[drivem42]

I am curious as to what that rolling meat ball prop was made of

[ArchNME]

The bun is in your mind!!

[Tokorai]

"I'll back this up as evidence!" *toss*

[dpb18]

did you see her face at 55 seconds

[brycerocks100]

That is a ugly shirt.

[SimuLord]

Coco Carl's gone meatball crazy.

[RadioActiveOreo]

"Best five grand I've ever spent" XD

[silvr90210]

beef bread crumbs herbs salt pepper (i use old fatchata) 1 egg and a bit of milk(about a tbls it works good with the bread i use)

[stevewestingale]

MAMA MIA THATS A SPICY MEATBALL!

[dawg1157]

@stevewestingale .......FAIL

[pandabears1980]

did anyone else notice that the guy got crushed nuts-first? OUCH!

[lordroad]

Obviously Alton has not read Henry Hill's The Wiseguy Cookbook (though Henry Hill is only half Italian if you want to make that argument). Hill offers an awesome, simple meatball recipe learned from his aunt, and they do indeed float in red sauce -- Sunday gravy, as Hill calls it. Also they are a lot better and easier to prepare than these. And the spinach... wtf was he thinking? Substitute it with fresh basil and/or fresh mint. Much, much better with a more unified flavor.

[McRtOdDwOvErMaRmAr97]

Wow he seems really french! haaaha
