Hey ladies! Aren’t we all overdue for a girls night out? I think so. The Melting Pot’s next Ladies’ Night Out on Monday, July 19, and will feature a “Pacific Paradise” four-course fondue dinner. The menu will begin with the chef’s choice of creamy cheese fondue, followed by a fresh salad and a petite Pacific [...]

By all means, go for the view. It’s the best in Tulsa. And the paintings, those dreamy, brooding, majestic works by Bierstadt, Moran, Remington, Homer — they’re world-famous and you can spend the day happily lost in their verdant worlds. But I went for the food, and it’s well worth the trip. I had always [...]

Back in the day when Tulsa was oil capital of the world, anyone who even dreamed of being anyone stayed at the Mayo Hotel. John F. Kennedy, Katherine Hepburn, Charlie Chaplin, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Elvis Presley, Eleanor Roosevelt, John Wayne, Mae West, all that gilded long-gone elite. Pretty Boy Floyd never stayed [...]

Who would have known that this little treasure is located right outside of Wagoner, OK?  From the conscious effort of using only environmentally friendly products to the re-creation of an old horse barn, The Canebrake is really something special. As an Oklahoman, you should be proud too.  What is a canebrake you ask?  Well first off, canebrake [...]

Local Table is one of our favorites.  In our hearts, they are most famously known for their Sunday evening wine and appetizer specials.  We like to go in with friends and order wine and appetizers off of the bar menu.  The appetizers are a good size,  2 of them make a good meal.  Running at [...]

If Stonehorse Market opened in New York City, there’d be lines around the block, all day, every day, people waiting, clamoring, begging to get in. It reminds me of Christina Rossetti’s haunting, powerful poem of love and addiction, Goblin Market. People who have tasted fruit from the goblin store pine and pine away, dwindle and [...]

Valentine’s Day is a special time to really show what you are made of to your spouse. This year we are really challenging you to go above and beyond to express one thing…that’s Love. We know that Tulsa isn’t the city of love, however, there are many locally owned romantic restaurants that are sure to [...]

I have two great loves, cheese and sweets. Of course, that’s not counting Jeff Martin, my baby animal-loving husband. There’s also Woody Allen and J. Crew. Okay, let’s just say I have two great food-related loves. Somehow, and I’m not sure of the reason, I fell in love with the two worst things for you. [...]

I first fell in love with Lucky’s ten years before it opened. Appropriately enough, it was on Valentine’s Day. My mom had been sick, but she rallied, and I wanted to take her to dinner. The only place that wasn’t fully booked was a restaurant I’d never heard of. Grille 51, in a building at [...]

With Oktoberfest and Halloween with the kids coming up, this might be the last weekend to get a nice romantic dinner in. Brian and I had the chance to visit Bodean Seafood Restaurant and Fish Market. Wow. I cannot believe this beautiful gem is tucked away in South Tulsa. This is definitely a fine-dining restaurant [...]

Tulsa is introducing a new concept into a land of burgers, french fries, steaks and milkshakes. Going Raw.  This concept has been sweeping the country for a few years now and has proven to be a healthier alternative to what most people know as “normal” eating. Cooking not only destroys nutrition and enzymes, but when [...]

Classy, stylish, sophisticated atmosphere, and some of the most elaborate food in town. Lucky’s menu, created by owners Matt and Brooke Kelley themselves, features something appealing for everyone. The menu was inspired by Matt’s extensive culinary training and visiting many culturally diverse places such as New York, Chicago and Mexico to create this lush menu [...]

As we rounded the corner before stepping through the glass door, all I could say was wow. I felt as if I was in New York City walking into a modern, sophisticated restaurant. With deep shades of black, grey, cream, silver and white, this ambient, classic atmosphere stole my breath as soon as I walked [...]

Tulsa restaurant week 2009 Here is some exciting news!!! Tulsa’s Annual Restaurant Week befitting the Community Food Bank is Sept 13th-19th. Sadly, according to the USDA, “Oklahoma is the eighth hungriest state in the nation and number seven in food insecurity, which means that the food intake of some household members is reduced and normal [...]

On a cooler day last week I decided that it would be a perfect day to visit the Philbrook museum and the grounds.  We spent the morning enjoying the art as well as the amazing Philbrook mansion.  I had heard several good things about La Villa, the restaurant in the Philbrook, and so we decided [...]

Food Blog Submitted by Dr. Food MD Image from www.bluestonesteakhouse.com Two companions and I ate at Bluestone Steakhouse hoping to find a new steakhouse to frequent. I can’t say it was great. For my own taste, it was a little sterile. The help was fine, the food was decent, but there was just something sterile [...]

As an aspiring kitchen diva, I’d love to participate in Tulsa’s Restaurant Week but have never been able to work it around family commitments (read: homework and baseball schedules, [...]
