Oh man, oh man. This one is a weird Supper Club. Weird because it veers off the traditional model of home-cooked and hosted at our apartment. If you know me, you know that a good portion of my mind and conversation revolves around babkas. Aaron alerted me to a babka bakery opening in Palo Alto so hosting a Supper Club there seemed like a great idea!

Matt and I met Harry and Aaron at Babka by Ayelet at the Town & Country Village center in Palo Alto. We ordered a Nutella and Halva babka and took it to go since seating wasn’t readily available. We made our way to Howie’s a few store fronts down for lunch. We sat down and ordered two pizzas for the group. The pizzas were good! Surprisingly, Matt preferred the Mexicali Rose pie over the potato pizza even though we came to Howie’s for it.

MENU

• Mexicali Rose: Chicken, Mozz’, Smoked Mozz’ and Cotija Cheeses, Chipotle Crema, Red Onion, Peppers and Cilantro

• Baked-Potato Pizza: Scalloped Potatoes, Gruyere Cheese, Crisp Bacon, Fresh Rosemary and Parmesan

• Nutella babka

• Halva babka

• Store-bought Panettone because I thought it was similar to fruit cake and that Harry would enjoy it
