“We’re in a totally different restaurant!” I said as I took my first bite of the delicious fried chicken at Duke’s Southern Kitchen. I’d visited Duke’s once before, during opening week. What I found was a restaurant with no clear vision of itself, a place that swung the bat with all its might, swung and [...]

This week I want to spotlight Camille’s Sidewalk Café which is the creation of David Rutkauskas and his wife, Camille. They started the Camille’s concept back in 1996. Now, if you want to talk about a true homegrown, rags to riches kind of story… Camille’s is it. A lot of us remember when it was [...]

Yeah, I know what your thinking…. I do eat salads (not just burgers and tacos), as a matter of fact you can find some dang good salads at many locally owned Tulsa restaurants. You may consider a green journey this Spring after browsing these Tulsa salads. Many make their own unique dressing and use very [...]

Fly over Brookside by night and it’s a glittering string of diamonds. But head south of the Interstate and all the glitter’s gone. Forlorn, half-abandoned strip malls huddle by the road, and in one of them you’ll find Casa Frida. Step through the door, though, and you’re in another world. A tropical beach world of [...]

It was Sunday afternoon, another beautiful Spring day in Tulsa. We wanted a patio, a burger and some down time. We just wanted to hang. The first restaurant that popped in my head was Campus Grill. We love their burger (weighing in at 1/2 pound) and I have been hearing things about a killer Memphis [...]

Over the years we have collected a massive amount of food photos from around Tulsa. This got us thinking what good are these pictures if we are not constantly sharing them. So here you have it.  We want to start sharing our collection of food pics with you every Monday.  Hopefully we can help spice [...]

“We don’t have an oven, we don’t have a stove top, we don’t have a frying pan, we don’t have a toaster,” says Adam Myers, owner of Burn Co BBQ. “Everything you get is cooked on our Hasty-Bake Charcoal Oven.” Adam spent 12 years as a salesman for the Hasty-Bake company, whose offices are less [...]

Remember the smell of Grandma’s house…the fresh baked cookies, cakes or breads that she lovingly prepared just for you? She used only the best ingredients, and it showed. Only using fresh, natural ingredients that you can actually pronounce. With food this good, you know you’re eating only the best. That’s what you can expect when [...]

Paul Wilson was not born in a big ol’ country shack hard by a Louisiana bayou. Paul Wilson did not learn to cook at his Cajun mamma’s knee, stirring smoky complex roux by the fire. Paul Wilson did not help his daddy steer the motorboat and trawl for crawfish in a trackless Louisiana swamp. Paul [...]

Local Eateries Finding Success Beyond Our Borders We thought it would be fun to look at some Oklahoma restaurants that not only are thriving, but have expanded regionally and, in some cases, nationally with their chain. Although many are very unique and different in their business approach, they all share the common ground that they [...]

Early on a Wednesday evening, TiAmo South Italian Restaurant is already crowded. Families pack the place. Large families. As many as 14 people are jammed around a long long table next to ours. Elegant, courteous waiters, the owner cruising from table to table, chatting with the regulars. TiAmo’s been around a long time. It’s a [...]

Soooo….what does the Wench love *almost* as much as CHEESE? PIG. All things pig. Bacon, chops, loin, trotters, belly, cheeks, shanks… you name it. Where is her favorite place to get great pork? Close to home. Meet Some of My Favorite Meat My friend Stephen Green is awesome. He is a husband, a father and [...]

Here some news that we found on their blog: Pink House Ringing the Dinner Bell Well, after years of being known in Claremore as the top eating spot for lunch, we’ve turned a corner of sorts and are now also serving dinner. Yeah! [...]

I wanted great food. But Cathe had her teenage daughter in town, and she was bringing an exchange student who had just flown over from Japan, so she wanted a fun place. So we went to Caz’s. They claim to offer gourmet-worthy versions of typical Oklahoma dishes — “upscale, down-home cooking!” — so I thought [...]

Yep, that pretty much did it for me. Seeing those words above the door all but guarantee I’m going to enjoy my lunch. I LOVE Oktoberfest, and the food is the best part, so when a friend of mine suggested I go check out Margaret’s German Restaurant at the Farm shopping center, it sounded like [...]
