Despite the heavy workload of raising a 10-month old, very active little girl, I had to write about this one. Beth and I took the little one with us for lunch last Saturday to Emperor Norton’s. This is a small, Italian restaurant in a stripmall in south San Jose. Looks like crap from the outside, but pretty decent on the inside. Beth likes their strombolis and calzones, and I’ve had their pizza before. This time, however, I ordered the meatball sandwich and Boy was that the right move! It was the best meatball sandwich I’ve ever eaten! I was a little disappointed when it arrived because it didn’t have any gooey cheese, but after the first bite it didn’t matter. The sauce was delicious, and the meatballs were yummy and so tender, but the ringer was the bread. The bread was light, soft on the inside and had a thin, crispy crust from the oven. It was heaven! Light and chewy, crisp but soft, warm and delicious!! I can’t wait to have another one.
