Would love it if Chef John would upload an updated version of this. It's so delicious and deserves 1080p! haha. Thank you, chef! Absolutely incredible flavor/texture!
The wet fingers thing: very true. Wet fingers make a huge difference making meatballs or working with Italian sausage. Even better than water: the brine in the can with black olives. Take it from an old pizza maker.🍕
I love this recipe! The meatballs turned out just delicious! I think the biggest key to the deliciousness is sauteing the onions before folding them into the meat instead of putting raw chopped onions in the meat mixture.
I have made this recipe for 10 years now and my friends and family think I am a meatball wizard. I love you chef john food wishes guy for bringing this many balls to me and my homies

Love this recipe and I would like to freeze some next time I make it. Do I cook in the oven and then freeze or just freeze after forming the balls?
I was wondering if you could update some of these older videos.
Thank you for your channel, I really enjoy how simple yet delicious dishes!
Awwwww that’s cool to see Chef John’s vintage video when he started 😊.
Respect!
I made these tonight, thank you!
Ahhh, i love you without your sing-song voice
Oh man. I love your work Chef Jon. This is like a reference video at this point. Beautiful.
I'm sure you're running out of ideas… You should just redo these! Also, I love beef broth to moisten the balls too, but you're the expert!
This from SIXTEEN YEARS AGO 😮😮😮
need to redo this video….blurry and voice not plain…
quite different than your “schtick” today😂
WOW a 16 year old vidya from Mr. Wishes. Nice!

I’m more shocked 2007 was 16 years ago 😂
Chef John before he was Chef John.

Showed up in my feed in 2024. Fun to see how the production has changed.
Going to cook this in 2024! Chef John is an historically significant culinary figure!
Thx for the recipe CJ!

This video almost old enough to vote

I seen 18 years ago and remembered how YouTube came out while I was in high school. I think I'll schedule my colonoscopy 😢
I like this guy! I hope he ends up having some success as a YouTuber….😂
This feels like I when you flip a penny you just found on the ground and it has the wheat in the back. 😂
Showed up in mine in 2025, I've been a viewer for 10 years…he's gotten much more handsome!
