Meatballs. "Sunday sauce." Burgers. They're all pretty basic comfort foods...or are they? We took a look at how to class up your homemade chicken meatballs and load up your "Sunday sauce" with all sorts of meaty goodness, while reflecting on the $20 New York burger, a sad new city standard. On the home front, we spoke to a professional about the complex process behind opening and operating a food truck and learned all about a brand-new designer "chef's purse." We also took trips to Paris and the south of Spain to learn about cooking school and jamón ibérico. Mmmm, jamón ibérico. All that and more on this week's 10 Hot Topics on Food Republic.
