Celebrity Chef Carla Pellegrino and Playboy Playmate Claire Sinclair at Meatball Spot at Town Square Las Vegas

A packed Friday night at Meatball Spot in Town Square Las Vegas was the place to be as Claire Sinclair, Playboy’s 2011 Playmate of the Year, and TJ Lavin, BMX pro, both came in for dinner last night. 

Sinclair was thrilled to sample the celebrated fare by her superstar chef friend, Carla Pellegrino. In town for the Mike Tyson Cares gala, all eyes were on the bombshell who was wearing a winter white dress and red lipstick. The brunette beauty enjoyed the eatery’s signature White Sangria and ordered the ever-popular Kitchen Sink Salad, along with a meatball trio and a half sheet of cheese pizza.

Lavin has quickly become a regular at the popular new dining hot spot, and chose Meatball Spot to celebrate his birthday. Accompanied by his fiancée and family, the motocross athlete noshed on Pellegrino’s classic meatballs with spicy meat sauce, salad and Margherita pizza.

For dessert, Chef Carla’s kitchen made a special birthday cake for the athlete and sent out a Cookie Explosion Milkshake. Lavin and his family also enjoyed a variety of ice cream sandwiches including the Bananas Foster, Strawberry and the Classic ice cream sandwich made with chocolate ice cream.

Lavin later took to Twitter, “Thanks @MeatballSpot and @ChefCarlaPelleg for dinner, it was amazing! The food was nuts!!”
