NYC Chef Cooks World’s Biggest Matzo Ball

“Oy vey! This is a matzo ball to make you kvell,” reports the Daily News. Just how big is the world’s biggest matzo ball?

Weighing 267 pounds and measuring 29.2 inches in diameter, the biggest matzo ball in the world was unveiled Thursday in NYC and served up to a hungry crowd.

According to the Daily News, “The giant kosher creation was schlepped across the city with a police escort after spending 19.5 hours on a slow boil in a custom-made 100-gallon New Jersey kettle.

“It was created to raise awareness and money for a charity basketball game at Madison Square Garden between the New York Knicks and Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv. Profits from the Oct. 18 game will benefit the Migdal Ohr, an orphanage in northern Israel.”
