Heck of a lunch experience. The Savory Chef restaurant located in the back of the cooking gadget store is a small but very enjoyable place. My friend and I were seated in the center of the restaurant a few tables back from the kitchen and greeted by the owners as soon as we sat down. [...]

If you haven’t tried the Boston Deli, you are missing out. Don’t let the name fool you, they are much more than a deli. The dinners here are superb, and keep amazing me every time. Last month, we happily attended the July Progressive Wine Dinner. Each month, The Boston Deli pairs a few of their [...]

“I don’t know Indian food at all. What should I order at an Indian restaurant?” In any discussion of world cuisine, this question always comes up. If someone gave a class on ordering at Indian restaurants and charged $10 to get in, he’d get lots of takers. Well, how about learning just what to order [...]

Think of Boston Deli and you’ll conjure up an image of a little shop back east, sausages hanging from the ceiling, an old guy slicing pastrami. Walk through the front door of Boston Deli on 61st Street and it’ll be a lot like you imagined. A smallish space with glass cases laden with meats and [...]

On Saturday, July 24th starting at 5 p.m. Bellacino’s is hosting a Tulsa Talons Pre-Game Party and will be the hot spot for Pre-Game [...]

Hebert’s is world-famous. People in Cajun-deprived locales such as New York and California order Hebert’s Turduckens and Alligator Dips on the Internet. For years I’d wanted to try their Turducken, which is a chicken crammed inside a duck with a turkey wrapped around it. Finally I did, and it was something of a disappointment. But [...]

“Even in Lima this would be a good restaurant,” I exulted. (Exulted is not a word I use every day, but it just seems so right here.) “In New York, chowhounds would walk for miles to eat here.” We were in the bright, cheerful dining room (okay, it’s all one room at this tiny place) [...]

The Junkyard Dawg opened a little while ago and peaked my curiosity immediately.  I’m a massive hot dog (which I will be spelling dawg from now on) lover and am always interested in trying new places that serve them.  Always on the lookout for the perfect dawg.  Well driving home one day I noticed the [...]

For a woman, few things are better than shopping and dessert. I love a day when I have lunch with a friend, enjoy a few hours of shopping at my own pace and top it all off with dessert in the afternoon followed by a nap. Lunch is best when it’s spur-of-the-moment, but since The [...]

It’s Friday at noon. You’re tired, looking forward to the weekend, and what’s that sound? A hungry stomach, that’s what! You’ve hit all the usual spots and you are looking for something tasty and affordable. Click the image below to Join the Facebook Event page: Well, if you don’t mind my asking, what’s more affordable [...]

A charmer of a Peruvian restaurant brings authentic South American cuisine to Tulsa. There’s a long and memorable chapter in Moby Dick in which Melville brings to life the terror of white. For him, white evokes blankness and the void. But I’ve been hooked since childhood on the romance of white. On old maps, white [...]

It was mid-week, and we were looking for a filling but reasonably priced lunch. A few miles away was Stadium Subs & Cream, and we have been hearing about this $5 Lunch Special. For $5 you can get any 6″ Sub, Choice of Chips or a Small Ice Cream and a 20 oz. Drink. Hard [...]

One thing that is obvious is that we at the Tulsa Food Blog eat out a lot.  One thing that’s normal is me feeling unfulfilled after eating at just one restaurant in one night.  For me, one of my foodie fantasies is to eat from multiple delicious restaurants back-to-back.  The Taste of Bixby Event this [...]

If you are wondering why your favorite ice-cream shop is missing it’s sign, and if your favorite ice cream shop is Maggie Moos, fear not. Tulsa’s four area Maggie Moos franchise locations are not going away. Rather, longtime owner/operator Mary-Ann Brinton is transforming these locations into a non-franchised, fast and casual concept called Stadium Subs [...]

Just as much as I consider spring and summer to be a season for BBQ’n and many other opportunities that Tulsa has to offer, I also consider it to be an awesome season for enjoying breakfast and brunch. Just imagine with me for a second stepping outside for the first time, you can feel the [...]

Great German food in a great setting. The Germans have a word for it: Gemütlichkeit. That’s what they call a cozy, friendly, welcoming place, a place where you can check your worries at the door, walk in, feel like family. What does such a place look like? Well, it looks like this: You just have [...]

I’ve just eaten the best spaghetti in Tulsa. That’s what I said last year when I first ate at Villa Ravenna, and now on my second visit, I can say that again. For me, good Italian food brings back memories… It was a warm summer night many years ago. I could see the moon blazing [...]

When you walk into the new Senor Tequila in south Tulsa, it’s like walking into a restaurant in sunny Mexico. The colors are bright and inviting, and you are whisked away to enjoy an authentic Mexican meal. Owners Carlos and Elisha Atilano chose the Plaza del Sol Shopping Center at 101st and Mingo Road for [...]

Something interesting and unique has just hit the super-busy area around 71st and Memorial. Before we even walked into Baker St. Pub & Grill we were impressed. The outdoor patio is not what you would expect to find in this area of town. Super-nice patio furniture and a cool built-in fire-pit all in a nice [...]
