  If you’ve been watching America’s Next Great Restaurant on TV, you know about Saucy Balls, the restaurant concept of contestant Joey Galluzzi of Brooklyn, New York. His idea is to serve a menu of different meatballs and sauces.

Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow, co-owners of New York City’s The Meatball Shop, actually beat Joey to the punch. But they already have a restaurant, so they’re not in the competition to get their concept funded by Chipotle founder Steve Ells, Bobby Flay and two other chef-investors.

If meatballs are calling your name, just head to your supermarket and pick up the first two flavors of the new Al Fresco chicken meatball line:

  • Tomato & Basil Meatballs, with Asiago and mozzarella cheeses
  • Teriyaki Ginger Meatballs with sweet pineapple
  •  
    Here’s the store locator. Look for the meatballs in the refrigerator section.

     

    Al Fresco is known for its all-natural chicken sausages, fully cooked and ready to heat and eat. The all-natural chicken meatballs are similarly delicious and easy to prepare.

    Made with lean chicken meat, the chicken meatballs contain 60% less fat and 40% less sodium than beef and pork meatballs. They’re a healthy option: all natural (no preservatives, nitrates or MSG) and gluten free. Enjoy them with pasta or rice, in a meatball hero or as an appetizer.

    5. SKEWER The meatballs on top of pineapple and lightly brush with the hoisin sauce to give a glaze.
