Johnny A’s Mafia Meatballs!

Chris has always loved our friend Johnny A’s famous Mafia Meatballs, so Chris made him an offer he couldn’t refuse and he came over to teach his secret recipe! We set a date and had an incredible dinner party!

It was so great to having Johnny in the kitchen… he is not only a really great chef but a sweet, warm man and a complete character… The Godfather of comedy!
