From the day 2500 years ago when ancient Greece awoke to find a strange army pouring across its borders, Iran has always been, for the Western world, the enigma to the East. Time after time, Roman legions tried to invade their lands, and the Persian armies routinely defeated them. Persians as much as Arabs contributed [...]

Pie Hole Pizzeria in Your Kitchen With Take Home Pizza Dough
February 24th, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (4)
I never felt so guilty. I walked into Pie Hole Pizzeria and didn’t get a pie, rather, I got a large serving of pizza dough. Those of you that have been to Pie Hole Pizzeria understand what I am saying. The aroma of pizza inside this tiny pizza joint is intense. Pie Hole is known [...]
Equatorial Guinea Recipes: Global Table Adventure
February 23rd, 2011 by Sasha Martin – Comments (3)
My riding instructor invited me hunting when I was 15 years old. The thought of riding through France’s foggy woods seemed romantic, adventurous, and disarmingly elite. I desperately wanted to say yes, but I had a squeamish feeling I just couldn’t shake. Bottom line? I didn’t want to kill my dinner and I didn’t want [...]
My Kind of Carne Asada Taco at Rioberto’s
February 22nd, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (14)
Some people ask me how I get around to so many random restaurants. My secret…. I often find myself randomly driving around Tulsa looking for a cure to a void in my life at that moment. Hungry! I don’t mind driving for 20 – 30 minutes before I find something that looks good. Last week [...]
A New Place. A Talented Chef. Seriously Good Barbecue
February 18th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (15)
A new place. A talented chef. Seriously good barbecue. If I wrote reviews for Twitter, that would be my review of TreeHouse. But you’ll want more detail. First of all, the place. It used to be Oscar’s, and years before that it was a barbecue, bar and blues joint — which, in a way, it [...]
The Meers Store – Meers CheeseBurger with Bacon
February 17th, 2011 by Joe Price – Comments (3)
My last burger post of 2010 ends up being one of my favorites of all time – a road trip to Meers, Oklahoma to The Meers Store. Meers, Oklahoma is around 200 miles and over 3 hours from Tulsa, OK. Have heard many great things about the Meers Burger that’s made from Longhorn cattle that [...]

Expanded Menu & New Dining Room at Restaurant Mi Tierra
February 15th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (2)
I hadn’t been back to Mi Tierra since I wrote my review last July. Until last night. I took some of my friends for Valentine’s Day and we were greeted with a lovely new dining room, decorated for the night with hearts and flowers. The old dining area, with tables scattered among shelves full of [...]
Better Mexican & Friendly People at La Hacienda
February 11th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (10)
It was our last outing before the snow. We wanted something warm, homey, comfortable. “I’ve heard of a place called La Hacienda,” I said. It was a good choice. Both the food and the restaurant live up to that description. It’s a tiny place, welcoming, and run by friendly people. The chef when it opened [...]

That along with many other hospitable phrases and conversation from some of Tulsa’s most down home restaurant folk. The name of this place [...]
Lambrusco’z – A Cook-Shop Feel with Large Flavorful Sides
February 4th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (5)
I can’t remember a Tulsa without Lambrusco’z. But I never ate there. I’ve had people tell me, oh you must go try it, and one of my friends sent me an impassioned recommendation months ago. But the setup, which is a lot like a medieval London cook-shop, put me off. Until last night. Now I [...]

We Had Dinner in Venice at the Summit Club
February 2nd, 2011 by David James – Comments (4)
It was a “Beam Me Up, Scotty” moment. In fifteen minutes from our doorstep we arrived at Ristorante Bertacco in Motta di Livenza, not far from Venice. http://www.hotelbertacco.it But, it was the other way around, the chef came here and created a meal that was as miraculous as what Scotty did. Walter Munaretto, the General [...]
Senor Tequila – Hovering Between Authentic Mexican & Tex-Mex
February 1st, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (7)
I’ve talked so much about Wolfgang Puck and Brady Tavern and Gemma’s, so I offered to take my best friend there. Nooooo, she said, let’s go to Senor Tequila! Oooookay. I hadn’t been there in years. I remember the original branch on a now-demolished corner of 51 and Harvard. Mexican families drinking their half-gallon margaritas. [...]
