FRIDAY FIVES: MICHAEL CHERNOW
When he’s not busy posing for men’s fashion mags, Michael Chernow is probably eating something awesome. That, or he’s continuing on his path of world domination, one meatball at a time.
If you’re not already familiar, Michael is one half of the duo that brought The Meatball Shop into all of our lives, and he’s one smart dude. The Meatball Shop just opened up their sixth location on the Upper West Side, and if you haven’t figured it out by now, that sh*t is about to go full on Shake Shack, covering every inch of America with its balls.
A life-long New Yorker, Michael has almost certainly been eating out in this town longer than you have, so it’s no surprise he couldn’t keep it to five picks when he handed over his Friday Fives. Here you’ll find classic New York recommendations, along with a few LA tips for good measure.
After you’re done reading about Michael’s go-to restaurants, follow him on Instagram, and stay in the loop on all the latest via The Meatballers on Twitter. Lord knows that if there isn’t a Meatball Shop near you now, there will be soon.

Danny Meyer and his team have mastered the casual “fine dining” experience. I have been taking my mom to Maialino for the last few years and I am always stoked to see what Chef Nick Anderer has up his sleeve. Plus, my mom thinks it’s the best place on earth.”
