What we’re about
Have you ever wanted to try out a restaurant, but felt it would be better to join a fun group of people for the meal? Do you want to occasionally makes a meal with friends and eat together (Indian, Italian, Thai, etc). Would you like to taste five different chocolates in a friendly environment with others that love food as much as you? Well then this club is for you. We are a welcoming group of foodies that just want to find good places to eat or how to find or make the best homemade delicious things this life has to offer. All interest levels are welcome. Join us and start to have fun with food!
The MMFC met her a while back but for reasons I cannot even remember (probably work), I couldn’t make it. Time to make up for that error since I heard nothing but good words about the food at Tatse, an African restaurant located in East Lansing by campus.
Although Tatse started out located in downtown Lansing, the owner moved it to East Lansing to increase foot traffic. The City Pulse wrote a nice article, from which the following food description is taken:
Handie’s menu is packed with traditional Nigerian staples like egusi, a mix of locust beans, red onion, melon seeds, crayfish powder and other seasonings; fufu balls, which are made from cassava, a starchy root vegetable similar to a sweet potato or yam; and proteins like goat meat, oxtail and suya, a smoked and spiced sirloin steak. It also offers protein bowls, which are served with jollof or fried rice, plantains and veggies or beans.
Americanized versions of these dishes, including the suya burger and a sweet pulled-chicken wrap with veggies and plantains, will be available after the grand opening. Adeleye hopes these options will help bridge the gap for Americans unfamiliar with Nigerian cooking.
Sounds perfect to me!
I hope you can carve out some time to support a local business and have some yummy food on a cold January night!
