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 [...]

Check out this delicious lunch special from Chicory & Chives. This is Cajun grilled shrimp with cheese grits. The shrimp is spicy and tender and the cheese grits are definitely more sophisticated than they seem. Loaded with flavor (and bacon), they are so light and fluffy. The sausage was an unexpected extra and was not [...]

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 [...]

A few months ago I had lunch at Keo. It’s well worth the trip. The space is sleek and airy, with 15 foot ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. Upscale decor (and good service) with downscale prices. Most entrees are $9. The chef was born in Cambodia (though she grew up in Oklahoma) and most [...]

I had a great lunch with my buddy Ryan yesterday. Whenever Ryan and I go out to lunch we always like to grab a good burger and naturally, he leaves it up to me to find the best spots in Tulsa for us to meet. Since yesterday was a Monday, Hanks, Claud’s and [...]

The first time I heard about Dragon Moon Tea Company was in a tweet from the mayor of Tulsa herself, Kathy Taylor. She mentioned she’d eaten there for lunch that day, and I was surprised. Lunch at a tea company? Dragon Moon sounded more like a fancy name for another Oz competitor to me.
Last week, [...]

“Oklahoma’s Best Gyros”…it could be right. We were out and about the other day and drove past Ali Baba. Noticing the sign that said “Oklahoma’s Best Gyros”, we decided to try them. After speaking with the owner, she let us know that they definitely have the best. She also recommended that [...]

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 [...]

Its a beautiful morning, and I get a phone call from a good friend that is in town! She had just gotten out of class at OSU-Tulsa, and asks me if I would like to go to lunch today.  Since she is new to Tulsa, she asks if there is a place I recommend [...]

With summer slowly beginning to fade I decided to join some friends up on Grand Lake. After spending the day relaxing on the waterfront, we went swimming and then went hiking down a spillway and then began to walk back through Disney, Oklahoma to the starting point of our trek. After all the [...]

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 [...]

Beautiful weather, awesome friends, and sweet margaritas. It was a beautiful Saturday night and some of my friends were in town. We decided to meet for a late dinner and drinks at El Guapo Cantina which is located in the Blue Dome District here in Tulsa. First of all, the building itself [...]

While I was out running errands with a friend the other day downtown, we decided to give the Mexicali Border Café a shot. I have driven past the one on the Southside nearly every day, but had yet to try it. So when I saw the other location, in the historic Brady district, [...]

Hammett House, in Claremore, is one of those restaurants that is absolutely worth the drive out to Suburbia. The Hammett House has been a Claremore staple since 1969 and remains the ultimate restaurant in the area to get “Down-Home Cooking”. The Hammett House is one of those hidden gems in the Tulsa area that [...]
