CONCORD, N.H. (Nov. 1) - The bouncing mega-meatball record has landed in the East Coast. Matthew Mitnitsky, owner of Nonni's Italian Eatery in Concord, said Sunday that a 222.5-pound meatball was authenticated as the world's largest after being weighed by state weights and measures officials.
Chef Matthew Mitnitsky of Nonni's Italian Eatery in Concord, N.H., cheered Sunday after his meatball weighed in at 222.5 pounds. Guinness World Records confirmed it's the world's largest meatball. The previous mega-meatball was just 109 pounds.

Guinness World Records
A Guinness Book of World Records official confirmed the big meatball as a record breaker and presented Mitnitsky with a plaque.
The old record of 198.6 pounds was set just over a month ago after Los Angeles-based talk show host Jimmy Kimmel vowed to beat a record set in Mexico. That record — 109 pounds — was set in August.
Mitnitsky said he got involved "to bring the meatball back to the East Coast because that's where it originated."
