Softball Sub

meatballm&o
Now that the shooting crew is on set, I can talk about the locations department and how they wronged me and the APOC.
When we were still shooting in the city, every Thursday the locations folks would get meatball subs from M&O deli on Prince and Thompson. They said M&O had the best meatball subs in Soho. They also said they have terrific BLTs, but it's not tomato season yet, so I won't be trying that. One day when walking to work, I saw a dead rat stuck to a glue trap on the sidewalk in front of the store. That did not deter me from fetching two meatball subs with mozzarella for me and Matt. To be honest, the store wasn't dirty at all. Everything was orderly and clean, it's just that the sandwich was mediocre. Matt said it best as he felt the sub up like a dancer at a stripclub, "I can't feel the balls." These meatballs were mushy. There were too many breadcrumbs and not enough beef. Enough said. In conclusion, while the meatball subs were big and filling ($7), I'd only go to M&O if I wanted a cold cut sandwich, an egg and bacon sandwich or during in summer when the tomatoes are in season for BLT's. Thick cut and crispy fried, their bacon looked delicious.

I find their BLTs to be just okay--they are certainly decent, but do not live up to their reputation

Those meatball subs are the bomb when they're fresh!!! Like all good things, it's about the timing. As for the BLTs, it's all in the mayo.

sincerely,
locations dept guy who recommended the sub.
