I'm gonna have to stare at this one for a couple days to make a decision. What an awesome group of entries.
 
I feel like I should just throw a dart but that would fark up my monitor.

What a great bunch of entries. Every time I think I have picked the one I would most want to try I see another one.

Hmmm???
 
This one was crazy tough.

Besides the meat itself, we had the ooey-gooey cheese factor, creativity, sauces, technique and presentation.

So many entries had these factors, along with the "eat me" consideration.

After mercilessly whittling entries down using my factors, I still had a hard time between a couple entries. What decided it for me...I don't know...but one dish really called to me for some reason.
 
I had to go with N8man. I really want his balls in my mouth. :shocked:

Wait, that didn't come out right. :becky:

Seriously, his meatball sammich is the one entry I most wanted to eat out of this field of very fine entries. :thumb:

You know if you can't decide between all of the great bunch of entries, there is one alternative. :heh:
 
This has got to be the hardest throwdown I have ever picked from. I want to try so many of these dishes. After going over and over how everything was cooked and presented, I had to go with Redhot. It was the deep frying of the balls and the guacamolie that won me over. :laugh:
 
Wow this is a tough one. I'm going to need to talk myself through this one to find a winner. Warning: this may come off as harsh in some cases but please keep in mind that this is a very tight race and I am grasping at straws here on a few of these. I promise I will enter a throwdown soon so that everyone may rip me as well.

bigabyte: I prefer even numbers, 8 meatballs may have gotten you my vote.

scottjess: Too many hints, I wanted to find the meatballs on my own.

BBQ4FUN: MOINK violation (venison/beef enough said) good looking money shot though.

SirPorkaLot: Very nice entry. I would hit that all day. In the end though you failed to hold off the General's zombie troops. See Gore's entry.

caseydog: That is a good looking meatball but I just had spaghetti and meatballs last night for dinner an ate way too much. I still feel sick thinking about it. Let's pretend I was offended by the fork crutch.

Redhot: You had me all worked up until I saw the chopped olives. I just don't like olives. I will make this someday, as soon as I find a suitable replacement for the olives.

Boshizzle: See: caseydog. Spaghetti and meatball hangover. Love the cheese though.

Cack: Not nearly enough bacon in the meatballs, try not to eat so much next time. Fine looking sub though.

Pappy: The meatballs I ate too much of last night were turkey meatballs. See: caseydog and Boshizzle.

DaveMW: Dude I'm from the northeast and couldn't let this one slide it's HOAGIE roll. Note: would still hit that.

Lazybones: I would have stuck the potato under the broiler to melt the cheese. Nitpicking here.

oldyote: Creative use of meatball ingredients. Perhaps plated on a toasted slice of rye? still in the running.

silverfinger: Hmm, ground beef, bacon, Oakridge, 2 kinds of cheese. I do love sandwiches. In the running.

N8man: The meatballs looked awesome, maybe too awesome. I fear there was some enhancement added to the final TD shot. Maybe it was the zombies.

Bluetang: That's a fine looking sandwich right there. Just a little too spicy for me.

HighQ: My parents used to make me sit at the table until I ate all of my peas. It scarred me for life.

Colonel00: Ground chuck, pizza dough, tons of cheese, butter and herbs, cooked on Darth Stewie. In the running.

ecode: The meatball got lost in the pie for me, not enough focus on the meatball. That said, I clipped that post to evernote for further review in my own kitchen.

Gore: I'm scared of zombie's and I definitely would not want to eat one, no matter who's grandmother came up with the recipe.

Decisions, decisions.
