One local business says that it has the best meatballs in the borough.

Residents in Williamsburg have been gobbling down meatballs from Lorimer Market for years. Shop owner Jerry Virtuoso says the minced meat delight is one of a kind.

In April, Virtuoso won the 2014 Meatball Slapdown Contest at the Brooklyn Brewery. Virtuoso says the recipe is his mother's, and his father first started the business in the 1970s.

Virtuoso says he makes about 300 meatballs every day and all of them are sold. He also says he makes sure that no Brooklyn resident walking past his store will ever go hungry.
