I've discovered two cures for the common hangover: Manhattan Special and Ginseng Up.
The first, Manhattan Special, is geared for those with an unabashed sweet tooth and no apparent regard for carbohydrates. The second, Ginseng Up Ginger, is slightly more savory, tame and refined.
Last week the Meatball King of New Jersey, Johnny "Meatballs" vistied the Kettle Kitchen to teach us the secret to his famous Meatballs.
Between you, me and the blogosphere, the secret is: carmelized onions.
I didn't grow up with caramelized onions in my meatballs, but after enjoying a couple, it's a pretty good idea.
If you're in the mood for some meatballs, you could pick up a six pack of Johnny's Meatballs in Sunday Gravy at Corrado's. Or, if you'd like to make them yourself, watch the video to see how Johnny does it and follow the recipe below. Salute!
