Tulsa Food

So many treasures lie in this wonderful city. Topeca Coffee is one of them. Have you heard of the slogan “Seed-to-Cup”? Well we decided to see what this was all about. John and Margarita Gaberino, owners of Topeca Coffee took us on a tour of the Roastery that lies in Downtown Tulsa. While telling us [...]

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 [...]

Some of the best Malaysian food you’ll ever eat can be found within shouting distance of Woodland Hills Mall, in a tiny restaurant cheerily decorated with photographs of Singapore, Bali and Kuala Lumpur. It opened in 2008. I heard about it, meant to go, but never did, put off perhaps by the word “fusion”. Meanwhile, [...]

Today for once I was in the mood for a chicken sandwich, but I couldn’t just have any chicken sandwich…I had to have something unique. I knew I was going to be cooking up some burgers on the Barby tonight, so I wanted to balance out my day with a little white meat for lunch. [...]

The best part of this weekend’s Bahamian feast was the Island Macaroni and Cheese. Bahamians like their baked macaroni enrobed in cheddar, evaporated milk, green peppers, onions, and cayenne. Sure, each bite bowling-balls into your stomach, heavy and rich, uncomplicated and decidedly not gourmet. Nevertheless, this sliceable casserole was the showstopper of my Bahamian Global [...]

For the past week, I’ve had one thing on my mind. Okay, well that’s not entirely accurate, I’ve had way more on my mind than just one thing, but this one thing just hasn’t gone away. What is it you ask? Last week I wrote about foods I now love that I never had a [...]

Having frequented Daily Grill multiples times with each experience being very good, I was looking forward to sampling their Black and Bleu Burger that was on their online menu which stated being stuffed, yeah stuffed, with Bleu Cheese and cracked black pepper and topped with a Bleu Cheese Mayo and served with their amazing Onion [...]

That big flat kind of burger you used to see a lot of in Tulsa can be a work of art. I remember going to the 15th Street branch of Ron’s when Ron Baber himself was working and watch him cook my burger with the grace of a ballerina. The restaurant looked like a cowshed [...]

Leave the glitzy hotels and glassy skyscrapers of downtown, cruise a few blocks down Archer — doing just what Bob Wills did in “Take Me Back to Tulsa” when he sang “let me off at Archer and I’ll walk down to Greenwood” — walk through the old wood door of Abears, and you’ll enter a [...]

Wine of the Week – Joel Gott, California, 2009 Sauvignon Blanc Now is the perfect time for Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes naturally high and racy acidity make it great for an refreshing aperitif, as well as one of the best food wines you can come across. The Joel Gott is perfect for a goats cheese [...]

I would like to introduce you to my favorite steak in Tulsa. The ribeye club at Eddy’s Steakhouse. For years, I used to drive by this place just east of 31st and Harvard, see the unassuming neon sign, the windowless building with the side entrance, and think it was a bar. Then one day about [...]

Now if you’re even a casual reader of Tulsa Food, you’re bound to have read a lot about Chicory & Chives, that country and Cajun luncheonette over on the West Side. So I’ll just weigh in on one thing and one thing only: their roux. From what I know about Cajun food, it involves this. [...]

If you like butter, you’re going to love Azerbaijani food. While the Rice Pilaf and the Green Beans are delicious, they utilize a staggering amount of butter. I expect that they could win a title in the Guinness Book of World Records. The pilaf alone calls for two sticks of the edible gold. The green [...]

At some point in my younger years, I decided without ever tasting it, and with complete certainty, that I did not like bread pudding. Case closed. Where would I ever have gotten such a notion? Um, let me think, oh yeah, my mother. She never cared for bread pudding, regarding it as nothing more than [...]

“I am now addicted to this fried chicken!” Brian said. At least I think that’s what he said. My mind was elsewhere, totally concentrated on trying to snag an extra pork chop without Brian noticing. No, I wasn’t talking to myself. I was eating lunch with Brian McCullough. He owns this website. And he’s a [...]

When planning a trip to wine country, most people seem to immediately think of the Napa Valley. America’s most famous wine region is certainly majestic, set amidst stunning mountain ranges, and full of some of the most famous wineries in the world, the Napa wine train, big Cabernets, and creamy Chardonnays. But it’s also constantly [...]

Spring is the absolute freshest time of year. For me, it is a great time to be renewed spiritually, mentally and physically. It is a time to explore this wonderful city we live in with shorts and sandals on – and our eyes open to take in all the beautiful colors, smiles and new life. [...]

So I admit that when it comes to Asian Cuisine, I may not be looking for all that authentic. Maybe my general dislike of fish flavors. Growing up in the country, we would only eat at a Chinese place maybe twice a year. But in those non-authentic versions, there is still a world of difference [...]

We recently received a few bags of Beanitos chips in the mail from our buddy Jeff. (Anyone who sends me free food is a buddy of mine). Jeff told us that Beanitos are awesome for dipping. Just like normal chips but much healthier and tasty at that. I immediately knew what I wanted to do [...]

I have mixed feelings about Boulder Grill, that shiny sleek restaurant that just opened downtown at the Holiday Inn. You can get a very good meal if you order the right dishes. And if you go in late afternoon, it’s one of Tulsa’s great bargains. The decor is carefully thought out and ultramodern. You can [...]

There are so many great events in the Tulsa and surrounding areas. We thought this one was a very unique event and opportunity for foodies that is sure to please both your palate and your waistline. This is one of those events that we are very excited about. We have many vegetarian friends and love to [...]

Other than a few weird names, Austrian food isn’t that different from good ol’ boy Oklahoman food. Just to prove it, here’s the Austrian Global Table menu: Wiener Schnitzel (fried pork), Green Beans with Speck (dry-aged ham), KasNocken (pasta with cheese), Sacher-torte (chocolate cake), and Viennese Hot Cocoa. Still not sure? My born-and-raised-in-Oklahoma husband didn’t [...]

It’s a very tricky thing, planning one’s own party. And not just any party, a birthday party. Yes, I admit it, I planned my own birthday party. Although I considered the fact that it might be perceived as lame, I wanted it the way I wanted it and I needed complete control. Okay? Planning this [...]

It’s 4 am on Saturday morning and you are starving. I am not going to ask why you are up or what you were/are doing but still you are hungry. You don’t want to eat at the normal fast food place but you don’t want to go in somewhere because, face it, no one looks [...]
