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
- 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
peas,
parmita
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.
