One Great Sandwich: Eat Green Local's Meatball Sandwich

One of the great things about shopping at farmers markets is having the luxury to grab a quick bite while looking for deals. Green City Market has Hoosier Mama pies, fresh crepes, organic baked goods from Bleeding Heart Bakery, fresh juices and smoothies, among noshables.

A new addition to the market this year is Eat Green Local, a subsidiary of the folks from Sunday Dinner Club. We met Sunday Dinner's Jason Stern during our visit Saturday. Stern said that their sandwiches are made using beef from Heartland Meats, bread from Bennison's Bakery and fresh greens from other vendors. We placed an order for a meatball sandwich ($10) during the lunch rush, which meant that we were in for a long wait.

Rather than stew at the wait, we finished our shopping and came back in time to a piping hot meatball sandwich. The meatballs had that rich, buttery flavor we've come to enjoy from Heartland Meats, covered in a light seasoned marinara and served with mesclun greens and arugula. Having ridden to market from Bridgeport fueled on an iced mocha and doughnut, this sandwich put the tiger back in our tank.
