The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week, Fall 2018 - Eater NY

"Old-school Italian joint Brando’s Citi Cucina does red sauce classics right in Asbury Park on the Jersey Shore, and at a recent meal I particularly enjoyed the meatball appetizer ($14). It’s two massive fried meatballs, one served in Sunday gravy and the other in garlic oil, with a tangy and bitter red wine vinaigrette salad separating the two. It was a nice change from just meatballs in tomato sauce, and the naked version still managed to stand up to the sauced one with its garlicky flavor. The salad provided perfect refreshment from the meat." - Eater Staff
