Restaurant sets meatball world record
Chef Matthew Mitnitsky cheers after breaking the world record for the largest meatball in Concord, N.H., Sunday, Nov. 1,2009. By Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - The bouncing mega-meatball record has landed in the East Coast.
Matthew Mitnitsky, owner of Nonni's Italian Eatery in Concord, said Sunday that a 222.5-pound meatball was authenticated as the world's largest after being weighed by state weights and measures officials. A Guinness Book of World Records official confirmed the big meatball as a record breaker and presented Mitnitsky with a plaque. The old record of 198.6 pounds was set just over a month ago after Los Angeles-based talk show host Jimmy Kimmel vowed to beat a record set in Mexico. That record - 109 pounds - was set in August. Mitnitsky said he got involved "to bring the meatball back to the East Coast because that's where it originated." --- www.worldslargestmeatball.com |
