Bite Club: Arguing over Austin's best meatballs

• It was a midafternoon snack and I managed to get through only one meatball — there are three to an order — before packing the others up.

Why it matters: Meatballs are arguably the ultimate comfort food — pillowy, filling, a little chewy, and, in their unadulterated meatiness, primitive.

• It feels especially decadent to eat them on their own — not even on perched a plate of pasta or snuggled into a sub.
