Ikea’s food hall may be dying, but its Swedish meatball class gave me life

Goldberg has prepped everything, with the help of Chazz Medeiros, a former cheer coach from Santa Rosa, who spent a decade doing backflips before becoming Goldberg’s assistant. The meatball ingredients are ground pork and beef, butter, breadcrumbs, flour, milk, and eggs; a mashed potato as binder; and salt, white pepper, allspice, and a bit of nutmeg.

All I have to do is order a spicy margarita from one of Saluhall bars, chop an onion, saute, and mix.
