Ball or Nothing

Today I went to the Ball or Nothing food truck, and ordered the classic meatball platter with a side of creamy mac and cheese and a crisp apple and almond salad.

 

The salad was sweeter than I had anticipated but it worked. Delicious with just the right amount of salt. Every bite was reminiscent of an apple cobbler. I would have enjoyed a little more spinach in the salad – I ran out of it and had a lot of apple topping remaining.

The meatballs were delicious. Exactly what any Italian would call a typical meatball. The tomato sauce was very fresh and well made, again a sauce that any Italian would appreciate. I have nothing to say against the meatballs aside from I wish I had more than three, only because they taste so good.

The creamy mac and cheese had a surprising hot spice to it that I was not expecting. Very flavorful and not your run of the mil mac and cheese. It complemented the meatballs perfectly, I wish I could have had more meatballs and second helping of the mac and cheese…. Although my mouth is still on fire from the first helping!

The whole meal was $10 which is a bit more than a typical lunch in the DC area, but the flavors and freshness of all the ingredients was evident in every dish. I would also anticipate that I will not be hungry anytime soon as the meatballs and mac and cheese were pretty filling. As is traditional for a food truck, the service was fast and the people were pleasant.
