The need to knead some meat to feed helped Concord, New Hampshire ‘Nonni’s Italian Eatery’ roll a decisive Guinness World Records™ victory!

Weighing in at 100.92 kg (222 lb 8 oz) the record-setting largest meatball consisted of fresh ground beef as well as proper ingredient proportions of farm fresh eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, unseasoned bread crumbs, and assorted seasonings.

Guinness World Records™ adjudicator Danny Girton Jr. was present to witness final meatball preparations and to officially authenticate the 1 November weigh-in.

Mathew Mitnitsky - chef and proprietor of Nonni’s Italian Eatery – showcased the largest meatball record attempt during the first annual Nonni’s Family Day, which invited community members to enjoy a day of activities including a ‘Meatball Ladle Run’ and ‘Spicy Meatball Challenge’ eating contest.

According to event sources the record-setting meatball was later donated to local non-profit group ‘The Friendly Kitchen’, which has served more than 600,000 meals since its 1980 inception.
