\"Rao's
Rao’s is, of course, one of New York’s toughest reservations to score. Tables are basically “owned” by various celebs and big machers and you need to know one of them to score an invite. This, and the jarred Rao’s pasta sauces, are as close as I’ve ever gotten.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

#TBT to last week\u2019s Margot’s Pizza pop-up, the first Monday night event in our current format.<\/p>\n

This is a WAY-WAY-WAY-off-the-menu pizza. Somehow Matt Hyland, chef-owner at Emily (Margot\u2019s host\/venue), got ahold of a quart container of meatballs from Rao\u2019s. Yes, that Rao\u2019s.<\/p>\n

“After service, we\u2019re making a family pie with some of these on it,\u201d he said. \u201cThe ultimate one-and-done special pizza.”<\/p>\n

Twist my arm, why don\u2019tcha. I even forgot my own grousing on the (now defunct) Slice blog about \u201cmeatball pizzas\u201d where the meatball<\/em> is broken apart are effectively just meatchunk<\/em> pizzas. ?\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n

The finished pizza wasn\u2019t bad, but it needed something more than just the meatballs, which we all initially thought would carry the pie on their own.<\/p>\n

If you ever want to know what driving a Bugatti down the block to go pick up milk tastes like, this is probably it. Better luck next time. Until then, folks, hasta la pizza<\/em> ??\u270c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
