I first fell in love with Lucky’s ten years before it opened. Appropriately enough, it was on Valentine’s Day. My mom had been sick, but she rallied, and I wanted to take her to dinner. The only place that wasn’t fully booked was a restaurant I’d never heard of. Grille 51, in a building at [...]

Hungry Howie’s Pizza – Home of the Flavored Crust
May 26th, 2011 by Staff – Comments (1)
On our first visit to Howie’s, we could not resist the Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Pizza – Hamburger & Smoked Bacon topped with Mozzarella & Aged Cheddar Cheese. On our crust, we did half ranch crust and half garlic herb. This pizza was full of flavor. Hungry Howie’s also has a Hawaiian style pizza called the [...]
A Cure for the Common Carb Overload!
May 25th, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (2)
I call it Carb-land. When I eat too much for lunch and then at about 1pm I find myself day dreaming with blurred vision. Yeah, that happens to me way too often. But wait, there is a cure and it can be found at one of my favorite coffee shops. There are really only a [...]
Taj Flavor – Not Your Average Food Court Fare
May 20th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (12)
It’s normally not a good idea to travel ten miles out of your way to eat dinner at the food court of a mall. But it’s a great idea if the chef at that food court establishment used to own Taj India Cuisine in Oklahoma City, which had a loyal coterie of patrons who swore [...]
Lunch at BBD on Brookside
May 20th, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (1)
Yes lunch and yes a breakfast hotspot, Brookside By Day. I am always surprised at how amazing lunch can be at well known breakfast spots. I really shouldn’t be surprised, think about it, if you’re a breakfast restaurant, you are going to have the best bacon and a seasoned grill. The Burger – crispy, seared [...]
Lunabread: Fresh, Local, Cajun
May 19th, 2011 by Lauren Steinkuehler – Comments (2)
If you’re not paying attention you just might miss the best thing to ever happen to you. With nothing more than a small, metal sign hanging by the road, you could easily miss your turn into Lunabread as you drive down 15th Street. It wasn’t a flashy store front or extensive ad campaign that brought [...]
Gusano’s Chicago Style Pizza – New
May 19th, 2011 by Staff – Comments (12)
Gusano’s Chicago Style Pizza recently opened in South Tulsa at about 101th and Mingo and they are coming to Tulsa with a big claim. Their website says that they make, “THE best Chicago-style deep dish pizza in the world”. If you love pizza and that does not get you excited, I don’t know what will. [...]

Breakfast Brats at the Cherry Street Farmers Market
May 18th, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (4)
I was told by a few people not to miss out on the Breakfast Brats by Pork-n-Greens at the Cherry Street Farmers Market in Tulsa. They we right as you can see by watching the video below as the breakfast brat I bit into explodes out one side of my mouth. The pork from that [...]

Refreshing Breakfast & Lunch at Sproutz
May 13th, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (2)
My trip to Sproutz was nothing short of refreshing. A small, hole-in-the-wall deli at 26th & Harvard – be on the lookout, it’s easy to miss. Sproutz has built up quite a reputation for serving fresh, healthy, out of the box meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sandwiches, Wraps, Salads, and homemade dressings that will [...]
Andolini’s Pizza – New Location on Cherry Street
May 12th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (16)
At Andolini’s, they take pizza seriously. Their master pizzaiolo learned his craft in Italy and he’s taught his apprentices well. That’s why, when I visited their brand-new Cherry Street branch, I took one look at their lovely dining room, brand-new but already homey and welcoming… and then took a table in front, near the open [...]
Talking Southern with the Lee Brothers
May 11th, 2011 by Lauren Steinkuehler – Comments (1)
It all started with a pot of boiled peanuts in a tiny Manhattan apartment. Two James Beard Awards later, Matt and Ted Lee have become the go-to guys for Southern food- satisfying home cooks with both the comfort of grandma’s fried chicken as well as fresh, updated southern recipes for modern living. During their trip [...]
All Hail Caesar!
May 6th, 2011 by Amanda Jane Simcoe – Comments (20)
In MY (picky) opinion, there are three PERFECT Caesar Salads to be found in Tulsa, with the perfect marriage of garlic and lemon, plenty of tang from the proper use of mustard & Worcestershire, and no added “stuff” that would make it, in my book not a “real” Caesar (cream, tomatoes bacon etc…). One such [...]
Are You a Meat Eater?
May 6th, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (1)
I have been eating at Bellacino’s for about 3 years now. Up until this week, I’ve been preoccupied with their selection of grinders. Not exploring a restaurant’s menu is the very thing that I try to avoid. Bellacino’s variety of specialty pizzas and ingredients really impressed me, but what got me even more excited were the [...]

The Sweeter Side of Brady Tavern
May 3rd, 2011 by Lauren Steinkuehler – Comments (1)
Though far from short on trips to Brady Tavern, I have yet to make it to the end of the meal with room for dessert. While dining at their chef’s table back in the kitchen for my birthday, I figured it was not an option at this point- I would manage to fit a sweet [...]
