Crispy, Steamy Beef at Scott’s Hamburgers

February 26th, 2010 by bpmccullough – Comments (12)

Some food items may be a little harder to justify traveling long distance to indulge on. There are only a few dishes I will travel for if I hear they are the best in the area. Rarely do I get very excited about going across town for a hamburger because there are so [...]

February 18th, 2010 by Staff – Comments (11)

I have never met someone that is not in some way on a search for good food.  From my experience, good food at a great value is hard to come by and unless you have an open mind sometimes this can be hard to accomplish. You have to be willing to take all recommendations and [...]

Discover this Hidden Gem – Chicory and Chives

January 22nd, 2010 by Staff – Comments (5)

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 [...]

The Lazy Fisherman Catfish

January 15th, 2010 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (20)

Go south on Memorial, past the malls and the huge new Super Target, and somewhere south of 150th St the busy 6-lane highway becomes a sleepy country road. You’re not in Tulsa anymore. Around 168th St there’s a fork in the road, and what looks like a little low-slung wood farmhouse appears. That’s the Lazy [...]

Hair of the…pig?

November 12th, 2009 by Elliot Nelson – Comments (3)

Recently, after being out with the swine flu, I decided to follow the old adage and seek a cure by finding the hair of the dog that bit me, or in this case pig (admittedly, I should have sought out the gentleman who was next to me on that flight from Dallas to New York [...]

Beautiful Drive and Freddie’s Hamburgers

May 28th, 2009 by bpmccullough – Comments (6)

Out for an afternoon drive, a friend and I stumbled across Freddie’s Hamburgers (not to be confused with the Freddie’s Frozen Custard chain). Freddie’s had been recommended from several different people on the Tulsa Food Blog and so we decided to stop in. The building is not much to look at but reminiscent [...]

The Great Wall Chinese

May 14th, 2009 by bpmccullough – Comments (4)

After hearing several people rave about The Great Wall, I had to give it a shot. The building itself is nothing special with a smell that is a little musty and in desperate need of a coat of paint. The staff was very nice and helpful though. For starters we ordered some [...]

Arnold’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers: Greasy Goodness

April 29th, 2009 by Staff – Comments (7)

I met up with a friend at his favorite burger joint Arnold’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers. It is definitely a dive with that greasy felling that you would expect at a hole in the wall burger joint. The food is so good though. I had a double cheeseburger, onion rings and a chocolate [...]

Ty’s Hamburgers: A hole in the wall haven

April 10th, 2009 by lbanks – Comments (4)

In need of a quick lunch my co-workers and I stopped in for a bite at Ty’s hamburgers. The place itself is nothing impressive with plain décor and the mom and pop feel to it. What was impressive was the line, 15 people deep at 11:15 on a Wednesday morning. The line [...]
