Serious Sandwiches: The Meatball Slider at Little Owl
I know it's all sliders all the time in the food media these days, and I don't mean to jump on the bunwagon, but I feel compelled to post about the scary good, extremely serious meatball sliders I had at the Little Owl last night. Chef Joey Campanaro combines ground veal, pork, and beef; fennel; panko (Japanese breadcrumbs); and pecorino Romano cheese to impossibly delicious effect. The house-made cheese garlic roll doesn't hurt, either.
They come three to an order, perfect for sharing, though after your first bite, you won't want to. The recipe for these bad boys, minus the house-made buns, is in this month's Bon Appétit. I pondered making some at home, but it turns out these suckers are hard to replicate.

I agree - they really are delicious! The veal and panko created a meaty, but not overly dense meatball. As a rule I don't eat veal, but cheated to have these!

Oh, I love the Little Owl so much. I think it's such a charming and un-pretentious restaurant. I went there with my boyfriend last year and we ordered three courses to share, and they split all the plates for us without us asking. They also gave us an extra slider so that we each had two! I honestly could not rave more about them.
