"Dish: Matzo Ball Soup There are plenty of worthy competitors for the crown, but our favorite bowl of matzo ball soup can be found at Brent’s Deli in Northridge. Why? It starts with the glistening chicken broth, simmered to perfection, and filled with carrots, shredded chicken, and silky smooth noodles. And in the middle of it all, a softball-sized chunk of matzo sitting royally like Dev Patel in The Green Knight. Do you see it? Has that image formed in your mind? No? Fine, just refer to the actual photo above then. That’s the last time we try to get creative in these captions, damn." - brant cox, kat hong, nikko duren, sylvio martins
