Astro Jump: DJ Pound and Nick Leng bring beats to Whistle Stop
Chad Deal 9:26 p.m., June 19
“Feed them and they will continue to shop” is, I imagine, the idea behind the Ikea restaurant.
Last Sunday, when my mom suggested we get a bite to eat, I parked the shopping cart and ordered the meatball plate. It came with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce.
Mom ordered a plate of lox, and those two dishes, along with a bowl of fruit, two waters, and an apple juice cost $15.47.
All this for $15.47.
The meatballs were all right to look at (and even smell), but a closer examination raised suspicions about quality. The flavor was decent, but the texture was too uniform for my liking.
(Yes, I do eat hot dogs, and yes, they are as uniform as you can get. But that’s to be expected with a hot dog.)
With bits of cranberry sauce to distract my tongue, I did eat most of the balls and all of the potatoes. Mom cleaned her plate, and together we finished off the fruit, which was juicy and sweet.

Swedish meatballs are typically a softer texture than your typical all-beef meatballs. Also, that is lingonberry jam they serve it with, not cranberry. They sell bags of precooked frozen meatballs at the front - I pick up a package almost every time I go there. Good value.

So that's lingonberry jam, eh? Thanks, Jenjen.

Ate there last night because Costco was closed. A friend ordered the meatballs. They're like the rubbery ones Costco sells frozen. Feh!
I had the chicken Caesar salad, a bowl of soup, a Parker House roll, and a drink for $11.47?! Stick with Soup Plantation.
