Fondue garnish
Mozzarella and Basil Stuffed Cherry Bomb Tomatoes
Ingredients
1 pound cherry bomb tomatoes
1 pound ciliegine mozzarella
Small basil leaves 1 to 1 1/2 inches in length
Stem and hollow out the tomatoes leaving a big enough pocket for the ciliegine. Place the basil leaf on the inside and leave 1/2" sticking out of the top with the dark green part facing inward. Fill with the mozzarella ball and reserve.

2 bunches broccolini cut to 3 1/2 to 4" long from the floret.
Blanch for 10 seconds to set the color and drain on paper towel.
Buffalo Meatballs
Ingredients
Eighteen 2-ounce meatballs
1 cup wing sauce
3 tablespoons butter
Fry the meatballs until evenly browned and drain on a paper towel, reserve. In a saute pan, bring the wing sauce to a simmer and add the butter. Toss in the meatballs and simmer until warmed through.
Steak Fries

2 pounds russet potatoes
1 bunch rosemary
Salt and cracked pepper to taste
Peel the potatoes and cut into wedges. Rinse under cold running water until the water is clear. Dry off the potato wedges and then fry them in oil at 350 F until golden and cooked through.
