I’ve passed that squat ocher building many times without even a glance. It’s easy to do; the outside is the essence of nondescript. If I’d been more observant I’d have noticed that there are always a lot of cars parked outside. People know they can find good food there. Last night, thanks to a tip [...]

Jimmy’s Egg Serves a Great Breakfast with Options
December 21st, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (2)
Ardmore, Oklahoma. 7 AM. The day after Thanksgiving. All the fast-food places along Route 35 were barely getting by. Jimmy’s Egg was full. Full of big burly guys. Beards and overalls, farmers and truckers. Serious eaters. For years I’d wanted to try Jimmy’s in Tulsa, and I figured that if the Ardmore Jimmy’s, with the [...]

When John Phillips wrote that hit song about how dreadful Mondays are, you can tell he wasn’t living in Tulsa.

Roseanna’s in Krebs Serves Italian Food in a Colorful Historic Setting
December 8th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (8)
Roseanna’s in Krebs. Mediocre Italian food in a colorful historic setting. “Wow, there’s nothing here but shacks and Italian restaurants!” I said. “Why Italian restaurants?” To answer that, you have to go back a long long way. It started with Louis XIV. His grand flamboyant reign bankrupted France, and just after he died in 1715, [...]

Chinese-Korean Cuisine at Chopsticks is Cooked to Perfection
November 30th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (4)
For years I’ve complained that there’s no decent Chinese food in Tulsa, and all that time I could have been eating here.
