You know those nights when you want a break from cooking, but you and the kids are famished? Matt Galvin, co-owner of Macrina, knows them all too well. With four kids \u2014 hungry from soccer, ballet, and life \u2014 he would often turn to the cheesy, saucy, messy splendor of a meatball sandwich made with DeLaurenti’s meatballs<\/strong><\/a>, marinara sauce, and melted fresh mozzarella on Macrina’s Bui Buns<\/strong><\/a>. “The whole thing comes together in minutes, and you can scale it if, say, one of your kids brings a friend or three.”<\/p>\n

Matt found a love of food working in many local restaurants and developed a fondness for Italian food while living in Italy. “The meatball sandwich is an Italian-American creation,” he says. “Like most Italian dishes, it’s just a few ingredients in the right proportion. The quality of the ingredients makes all the difference. Use excellent meatballs, fresh mozzarella, and the right bread, and you’ve got a dynamite meal.”<\/p>\n

Macrina’s head baker, Phuong Bui, designed these buns specifically for the banh mi<\/strong><\/a>, the famous sandwich from his native Vietnam. It boasts a crisp crust and tender, airy crumb that Matt says is perfect for the ultimate meatball sandwich.<\/p>\n

“DeLaurenti makes the best meatballs,” says Matt. “I heat them in DeLaurenti’s marinara sauce, slice up a few balls of Ferndale Farms fresh mozzarella, fill a Bui Bun with a couple of meatballs, top it with a spoonful of marinara and a few slices of mozzarella, then broil it briefly to melt the cheese. It’s pretty simple.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
