Product Description

Product Description

Brooklyn Bites is a collection of shorts stories that centers around the compelling people, diverse relationships and simply remarkable food in Brooklyn, New York. Meatball Sandwich and Cream Crumb are the third and fourth stories in the compilation.

In Meatball Sandwich, Jeremy sits on the Brooklyn Heights promenade, miserable from having been dumped by text the night before. When some stranger named Maggie sits down next to him against his wishes, Jeremy imagines a giant fish leaping out of the East River and swallowing her whole. That is, until she offers him a homemade meatball sandwich and a night on the promenade he never expected.

Cream Crumb follows Josh into Peter Pan’s Donut Shop, where he is about to have his last meal before jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge. Josh orders a cream crumb donut for the first time and is so overwhelmed by its taste that his life changes in completely unexpected ways even before he finishes the last bite.

5.0 out of 5 stars A slice of life with a side order of hope 25 May 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
These snippets of Brooklyn live are brilliantly written but prepare yourself for a case of the munchies. Seriously the first of these stories had me rifling through the fridge for sandwich fillings. The descriptions are wonderfully absorbing. Unputdownable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first 13 May 2012
Meatball Sandwich & Cream Crumb is the second volume of Scott Stabile's Brooklyn Bites stories. Each volume contains 2 short stories focused around food, and around Brooklyn. I read the first volume (Truffle Fries and a Little Taste of Chocolate) as a review book earlier this year and fell in love. This second volume really keeps up the standard. The descriptions of food are so intense you can almost taste the food, I'm not a big meatball person but Sabile's descriptions of the meatball sandwich had me craving one, and after finishing Cream Crumb I wished I was in walking distance of Krispy Kreme! In some ways I actually prefered this volume. I didn't think either story was stronger than the other, as I had with the first volume. I thought they linked together a bit better. They were both about hope, which is a lovely thing to read about in itself.
I had really wondered how a donut could really change someone's life. As I started to find out I was a little skeptical but Stabile made a strange idea sound realistic, which is a real feat.
Seriously guys you have to read this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The second bite is even better than the first 25 Mar 2012
By booknerd - Published on Amazon.com
The follow-up to Scott Stabile's first volume of short food-fueled stories is just as enchanting as the first. Stabile has stumbled upon a recipe for literary success-- these bites have the right flavors to sweeten up the sometimes bitter world of love, heartache, and loneliness. The eponymous meatball sandwich of the first story sent me to Subway in search of a real life edible version-- it was ok, but my lunch was missing the the magic of the one on the page (or maybe it was just missing the Maggie?) The cream crumb story delicately handles the difficult topic of suicide, kneading sadness with just the right amount of sweet, not cloying but refreshing. I am planning a trip to Brooklyn next month, and it will not be complete without some truffle fries and a red velvet cream crumb donut. Like the first volume, I highly recommend these-- for the price of a candy bar you can have something just as yummy and infinitely more substantial.

I read the first installment in the series and enjoyed it a lot. I like Stabile's writing and hope he continues with the series. Hope to see some long form writing from him too. I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A second scrumptous set of short stories 17 Mar 2012
By Susan B. Katz - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
I marvel at how this author manages to weave deep emotions and real life experiences into seemingly mundane moments of life. There are many layers to this delicious dish, which deals with relationships, rejection, and reality in a skillfull and well thought out way. I see Stabile writing screenplays and/or longer novels in the future-- I sure hope he does, as his writing is worthy of a larger audience who can lap up his lively voice and candid version of the world. Loved this one more than the first, if that is possible! Read on...
