Mastication Jubilation - a Blog for Food Lovers

Welcome! Mastication (which means chewing) Jubilation is all about sharing our New York eating experiences- every 2nd Wednesday of the month we will be choosing a new restaurant to dine! and then rush back home and sign onto this blog and tell everyone what you thought! For our amigos, not in New York, it's great to learn about restaurants you are frequenting and where NYC people can eat when we visit...especially San Fran and Denver!

Bringin' It Back Old School, Suckers

In an attempt to revive the awesome-ness that is Supper Club in blog form... and because we all realized how bad our memory is in trying to recall all past Supper Club meals I am going to try to post a recap that hopefully spurs a revival.

Second, summary on Tsampa:
Our first taste of Tibetan food, and it was a great success. Overall, the food was yummy and the wine was delish. My personal fave was dessert: Barley Cake [as Kyle suggested, a name change to something more enticing would probably have more people ordering this].

+'s

  • Baked Noodles were a smash; as Mikey stated "THIS IS EXCELLENT!"
  • Both wines we ordered were really enjoyed by all [even with a wide range of wine knowledge ranging from cardboard palate to I can't believe you drink boxed wine]
  • Barley Cake!! - perfect for those that don't love their desserts to be excessively sweet
-'s
  • It seems like the menu options are a bit hit or miss - with not everyone's meals being as delish as the baked noodles or the special that Fabs and Ankit ordered - My suggestion would be to stick with the tried and true
  • The place is really intimate/quiet as far as atmosphere and isn't conducive to 'normal' Supper Club topics of conversation - some people might consider this a +

Topics of Conversation:
  • DVDA - gross, let's not bring this up again
  • Fabiano and his 'accomplishments' during Carnival
  • St. Patty's Day in Hoboken recap
  • Ankit and Mike's undying love for one another
  • Kyle's love life
Al right homies: hope this revives more use of the blog, feel free to add anything I missed in the comments!

p.s. The optimist in me is hoping that others decide to post to. If so, blogger now has a new option that lets us add labels for posts. I think this would be most effective if we AT LEAST include the Masticator General and the cuisine type... just a suggestion.
