Day: May 2, 2023

Good Morning Gloucester in conjunction with the St Peter’s Club will be holding the first ever Meatball Challenge to benefit the St Peter’s Club Scholarship Fund.

The first 100 people to donate $10 at the Club Thursday night will taste a meatball from each of these great Gloucester Iconic Chefs-

Delaney’s Pizza, Richie Baressi, Zina Saputo, Charlie’s Place, Topside Bistro, The Causeway, Tonno, Oak To Ember, Minglewood Harborside and Sclafanis Italian bakery.

The first 100 to donate will receive a ticket with which they will use to vote for their favorite after trying all ten in a blind taste test. The Trays of meatballs will only be identified by a single letter- A, B, C, D . and at the end the meatballs that have the most tickets win.

Thank you to Joe Virgilio for donating 200 rolls and to The Zappa family from The Causeway for donating the use of 10 chafing trays. Open to the public the night of the event, membership applications will be available and the bar will be open for you to stay and watch the event even if you aren’t there in time to get one of the 100 tickets for voting. Each entrant is only making 100 meatballs so only the 100 first people to donate will be ticket holders.

Good Morning Gloucester will be livestreaming the event so come by the table and say hi!

Thursday evening at 6PM the place to be is going to be the St Peter’s club when they are opening their doors to the public for the 1st Ever Meatball Challenge. The first 100 people to donate $10 that night at the door will be able to try a meatball from 10 of Gloucester’s finer chefs. These people will be entered to win a door prize and will be able to vote for their favorite meatball!

As a follow up to the discussion held on the podcast about Pat’s hummingbirds, I humbly accept the honor bestowed for being the first of the contributors to post hummingbird news. (How’s that Joey?) As you saw last week, our hummingbird station was all set and ready to roll but we soon discovered the new larger tube we got wasn’t going to work. It was much too large to work efficiently so I replaced it with a small one in addition to 2 small hangar style feeders. So far, the single male we have had visit is very happy with the small hangars. Hoping to see a female soon! This is what it looks like when the hummingbirds can come to your deck and avoid various sporting equipment usage nearby.
