oh happy day...
baseball season is finally here!
today is a monster TV day. i've got the mets home opener on right now (glavine just pitched a 123 1st inning against the nationals), the ncaa championship game on at 9pm, and the yankees inaugural at 10pm.
i was lucky enough to have time to check out a pretty entertaining mets pre-game show on the new sportsnet ny network. it was an hour-long affair--i doubt they will be producing a daily pre-game show of this length--but it was a good introduction to this highly regarded new 2006 team. (until today, i hadn't heard of xavier nady.) the cute "meet the met" features are likely aimed at the youngest fans (what was position did you play as a kid? favorite team growing up? favorite baseball movie? any superstitions?), but i love'em too.
the show also had a few interesting foodie moments that caught my attention.
the met tailgaiter's don't mess around. they interviewed one guy who was grilling lamb chops, turkey sausage, and chicken wings outside shea. amazing. and they filmed a "ride-along" through queens with gm omar minaya--the crew made a stop at mama's of corona (also known as leo's latticini) for a sub with fresh, "real deal" mozzarella. mama's/leo's has quite a reputation (see the nytimes, food and wine.com, roadfood.com) and i'm hoping to confirm everyone's glowing reviews for myself this spring.
you can too. pick up one of mama's specials, or the apparently to-die-for roast pork sub, the next time you're at shea (they sell them at the stadium, but get them early, lest they run out) or just take the 7 train to the 103rd street/corona plaza stop.
mama's/leo's latticini storefront is located at 46-02 104th street, corona, ny 11368.
