At my house, the countdown usually starts around late February. The holidays are long over, we’re sick of the cold dreary weather; and we’re ready for the days when the pool is open and the gardens are growing an abundance of delicious herbs and veggies destined for my kitchen. This is the time when I [...]

You Say “Spanky’s”, I say “HeHe”… then “Mmmm!”… then “UGGHHH!” I’m gonna go ahead and make the presumption here that this is going to be it’s own series. 1. – Because the entire experience was AWESOME, and 2. – Because it’s about a 3 minute drive from my house (yes, Tulsa Food Guy lives in [...]

Sushi is my favorite food, so anytime I hear of a new sushi place opening I always want to try it out. Recently my husband and I visited the new Osaka in Broken Arrow. We originally went to try the hibachi, and our first visit was New Years Eve. They had apparently WAY overbooked, so [...]

Steak. Hmm. When you think “steak”, the first few restaurants that come to your mind may be a chain restaurant right? Well, I’m here to tell you, you need to think “steak” again. But this time think local-Locally owned that is and on Main Street no less! In 2001, Larry Dooley opened Dooley’s Angus Inn [...]

It was everything that a bride or groom needs to know about planning a wedding…all in one place! Below are a few videos of some of the food vendors that we met up with. These [...]

Apples are a perennial favorite, and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) is making it easy to enjoy this year’s harvest with Apple Fest. During the month of October, customers will find savings on apples and apple products [...]

I moved here in 2005 and have loved experiencing all the new foods, but oh how I have missed the soulful family cooking I grew up with in Tennessee. I’d never heard of Shiloh’s until I saw it on here and when I brought it up to others they were practically drooling over the name! [...]

If you want to try something different, here’s a suggestion from a guy who works in the restaurant supply business, so I know restaurants intimately both front and back side. The Thai Garden Restaurant located just west of Elm on 71st in Broken Arrow,  has not only a very immaculate  kitchen, they also offer a [...]

It took me a long time to stop in at Ted’s Cafe Escondido in Broken Arrow because every time I went by it was packed; Now I know why. First of all, the decor is very nice and clean. But the part that really stands out to me is the staff. I am so used [...]

Wanting to introduce a friend to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, I took them to Campadres in Owasso. We went to a late lunch on Sunday afternoon. We got seated immediately which was nice. We ordered the white cheese sauce which is amazing especially if you eat it with jalapenos. I ordered a chicken [...]

I had the opportunity to preview the new Hideaway Pizza in Broken Arrow. Though it was nice to be considered, I have to say that Hideaway will never have to bribe me with free food. Hideaway is absolutely some of the best pizza I have ever had the privilege of eating. In my opinion pizza [...]

Out on a drive I felt compelled to alert you that Runt’s in Broken Arrow is out of business. I went there once, a few months back and didn’t realize that they might be a business in distress. The dining room was full on a cold day and the BBQ was pretty decent. It’s too [...]

They have been creating outstanding wedding cakes since business began in the 30′s.

In need of a quick cake a friend ran by Merritt’s Bakery, after another bakery didn’t have her cake ready on time. She got a beautiful red velvet cake with white butter cream icing and chocolate shavings on top. It tasted as good as it looked and it was a nice option to pick up [...]

I have tried two new pizza places in the last month, and I am disappointed that I spent so much time devoted to the one and only Papa Johns.  Don’t get me wrong, I really really like Papa Johns, but there is more pizza in the world to be had. Pizza #1 came from Bellacinos.  [...]

Just took my Daughter and her fiancé to dinner at Stone Mill Barbecue and Steak house and wow what a meal. If you have not tried this place you need to; the Barbecue was great and so were the steaks ( I sample some of every kind), oh and HOME MADE deserts, pies, cobblers. I [...]

In the mood for some amazing rolls and a fantastic salad I took a friend to Shiloh’s. Located off the BA expressway in Broken Arrow it is a tiny hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop place. The restaurant is nothing much to look at and everything about it is very country. My guest was a little apprehensive, [...]
