Not all meatballs are created equal. Some are different from others, some are worse than others, and some are better than others.
And then you’ll come across these delicious, juicy, pretty Meatballs here, which are in a class all by themselves. Different? – For sure! Better? – absolutely!
Well, at least that is my opinion, and I’ll stick to it until somebody can prove me wrong 🙂

Chef Susser….
You’ve got some set of balls!
Actually, if I’m not mistaken, it appears to be three sets of 2 balls each or 6 “spicy meatballs”….see chef…I did the math!
Happy dining!
