US restaurant sets meatball record
THE bouncing mega-meatball record has landed in the US East Coast.
Matthew Mitnitsky, owner of Nonni's Italian Eatery in Concord, New Hampshire said on Sunday that a 101kg meatball was authenticated as the world's largest after being weighed by state weights and measures officials.
A Guinness Book of World Records official confirmed the big meatball as a record breaker and presented Mitnitsky with a plaque.
The old record of 90kg was set just over a month ago after Los Angeles-based talk show host Jimmy Kimmel vowed to beat a record set in Mexico. That record - 50kg - was set in August.
Mitnitsky said he got involved "to bring the meatball back to the East Coast because that's where it originated".
