Turns out we’ve all been making it wrong and I never knew until I found the Naples street food Cuzzetiello, the original meatball sub, and it's a stroke of genius.

This has got to be one of the best, no bullshit cooking shows on this entire platform! Bravo, dude. Bravo

I do this all the time. The only thing I do differently is to add cheese as I fill the bread. You just have to watch so you don't make the hole too big so the bread is too thin. It works with Italian beef too.

I LITERALLY have a batch of dough rising and meat thawing in the fridge to make meatball subs for dinner, then you posted this video. What a wild coincidence! I used to get meatball subs from a food truck in Tinton Falls, NJ, where they would chop up the meatballs on a flat top with cheese, kind of similar to the way a cheesesteak is prepared. Still the best meatball sub I've ever had.

Thanks for this, I'm a "sandwich nut" and always looking for new techniques.....this one is so OBVIOUS, and yet it has escaped me for 50 years of my life. :)

This is so simple, it’s irritating. Great stuff as always - keep killing it!

Genius! Literally the only reason I don't eat more meatball subs is because they fall out and make a mess. How simple yet elusive an idea :)

I like that you used the bread you pulled out in your meatballs! True chef, nothing goes to waste! Looks Amazing, thanks for the video! 😮

I remember this from when I was a kid. It really is the perfect way to eat a meatball sub, as you so perfectly demonstrate.

There’s a place in San Diego called Divine Pastabilities that does their meatball subs this way. They also do any type of pasta with any combination of protein you like in it as well. They call it Torpasta. I’ve been going there since the mid 2000’s. They have shirts that say I ❤ carbs.

This is how I was introduced to meatball subs as a kid. Hollowing out the bread is truly the best way.

in Brazil we do a version of sloppy joes using the end of buns like that. We have a bread called "french bread" here, which has nothing French in it, but it is like a short 6" baguette, we hollow these out and fill with ground beef in tomato sauce.
