Meathead + Steven Raichlen = Meatballs

April 15, 2025, 08:52 PM

Well, this was a pleasant surprise. I get Steven Raichlen's Up in Smoke weekly email and as I was reading it today, he includes a recipe from Meathead and links to AmazingRibs.com.

The recipe is excerpted from Meathead's upcoming book and is his wife's mom's recipe for meatballs. Here you go: https://barbecuebible.com/2025/04/11...tballs-recipe/

In a recent Sneak Peak featuring Steven's favorite marinade we announced the joint "blog swap" of the two of them. Should lead to great things!

I especially liked how Steven's blog links directly to the Amazing Rib pages for info on Meathead and the Simon and Garfunkel rub. That should drive some traffic!
