Legends BBQ: A bit of a drive but worth it

lbanks — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:45:08 +0000

Legends BBQ is a little hole in the wall place off the beaten road in Owasso. It’s not a place you would accidently run across but it’s worth finding. The building itself is very reminiscent of a barn and not extremely inviting on the outside. Though as son as you walk in you know you have come to the right place. The delicious smell of barbeque permeates the place and they often have live music there on Friday nights. The place is nothing fancy; everything is served on paper plates but it is delish! One of my favorite things to get there are the fried olives. These are a favorite for everyone whether they like olives or not. They mix crushed olive, salsa and cheese and then deep fry them. There is ranch on the side which makes them unbelievably delectable. I also got the two meat combo with chopped brisket and polish sausage. One of my guests had the ribs which looked so good! The hot barbeque sauce actually had a bit of a kick to it which was nice. We had all our food smothered in it. Legends Barbeque is definitely worth the short drive to Owasso. If you are in the mood for some fabulous barbeque you have got to try this place!

A Real Surprise on Tulsa’s West Side

Staff — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 12:49:08 +0000

Chicory & Chives Cafe, located at 3121 Charles Page Blvd, just 2 1/2 miles west of downtown is a real surprise on Tulsa’s west side. Located in the old Ward’s Cafeteria, this non-descript cafe offers one of the best breakfasts in town along with a nice variety of diner favorites. To top it off there are several Cajun dishes and gumbo on the menu. The Cajun items are traditional Louisiana fare with a burst of flavors. They also offer a daily lunch buffet and salad bar with homestyle entrees and vegetables that truly taste like grandma used to make. The soups are homemade and are delicious. A very popular Saturday morning breakfast buffet runs from 7:30am til Noon. They keep small quantities on the buffet and continually refresh each item making them very fresh. They have only been open a little over a year and if you have not had an opportunity to dine here, you need to give it a try. They are only open Mon - Fri 6:30am til 2pm and Sat 7am til Noon.

Going Out For Dinner - Kilkenny’s Irish Pub

Staff — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 13:50:47 +0000

One of the things I love about going home to OK is eating out at restaurants that are different from what we have in Toronto. This trip has been no exception.

When my best friend drove up from Norman for the day, I knew we needed to try something totally different. We went for lunch at Kilkenny’s Irish Pub. And I am glad we did! The place is fun, really small and really cold when we were there, a little dark inside like a proper pub, and a good selection of Irish specialties and your average American pub food.

Living in Toronto, I have come to miss the great American hamburger. Hamburgers in Canada by and large aren’t great. Well, they aren’t what I like, which is really just a patty made with nice meat, salt and pepper. Walking into the lion’s den of pub food, I had to go for the hamburger with Irish rashers and Irish cheddar. Yum.

Oh yeah. The fries were stupendous. I mean, really really really good. One of the best french fry experiences I have had in ages. Really good. Oh yeah, did I mention, the fries were great! The hamburger was solid. The meat was well-seasoned, it was nicely cooked, but it was a little too wet for my liking…

You can see how wet the bun is. Now I know for some people, that’s a total plus, but I am not one of those people. It grosses me out, but the hamburger all in all was really good. The bacon was fantastic, and the half pound or quarter pound option means you can have the amount you want. (I had the half pound. I ain’t no fair flower. Ha ha.)

My BFF ordered the Irish Breakfast.

…with scrambled eggs. I am not a fan of the scramble, especially if I am not making it myself. This came with irish bacon and sausage, soda bread, black pudding, grilled tomatoes and grilled mushrooms. Or I think it came with grilled mushrooms because I don’t see any in that picture.

Anyway, the bill was reasonable, we each had a soft drink (pepsi- blech), but it was a great meal and a nice place to slow down and chit chat.

The restaurant is down on Cherry Street (which has really had quite the renaissance in the last year, it seems). Lots of good stuff down there. I really enjoyed the pub and would recommend it!

Abuelo’s. The Mexican Embassy of my Heart.

Staff — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 14:00:14 +0000

One of the restaurants I always look forward to eating at when home in OK is Abuelo’s. I used to go there when I was going to school in Norman, and in fact, it was our restaurant of choice for me and my friends (and families) after our law school graduation ceremony. They opened the one in Tulsa sometime in the last few years, and it’s so great to go there and get the turkey platter of mexican food!!!

As you may know, gentle reader, I am a fan of the combo plate. I like having different tastes all on one plate, so I can try a variety of things on the menu at one time. I blame this love that shall not be named on the Tour of Italy at the Olive Garden that rocked my youth. It was the ultimate combo plate, and back in the day, it was my hands-down favorite.

Abuelo’s is one of those places that doesn’t disappoint. The food is always solid. This year, I went for a smaller combo platter, the Sonora…

It’s positively petite!!!!!!! This lovely combo was a shredded beef burrito covered in chile con queso, a tamale, a cheese enchilada, beans, and papas con chile. Yum. The tamale was not as good as the ladies who make them in the back of the store in Toronto, but it was pretty good. The burrito was filling, the beans and potatoes where creamy and mild.

I really enjoy going here, and my family likes it as well. It’s a win-win. My brother ate the steak with enchiladas and I tried a bite of his steak… oh my goodness, it was crazy flavourful. If you are in Tulsa and looking for reliable tex-mex, this is the place for you.

Costa Azul: A Delicious Dive

lbanks — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 11:41:20 +0000

I met up with a friend the other day at Costa Azul. It was a little Mexican dive I had never really noticed before. The place itself is kind of old and run down but the food was very good. It had a very authentic Mexican flavor to it. I ordered two tacos on flour tortillas: one chicken and one steak. They were extremely tasty and would have been even better if I had thought to ask for a hotter sauce. My friend had the beef enchiladas which looked very good. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a delicious little dive and the authentic taste was a refreshing change.
