Ok, I’ll admit it… I tend to light up like Tony Stark’s reactor at the mere mention of comfort food. My last interaction with a choice corned beef sandwich required surgery to remove the grin from my face. But, that doesn’t mean I can’t remain objective on the subject. In fact, it takes just the [...]

August 26th, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (3)
Don’t let the name fool you, although The Boston Deli does serve a line up of classic sandwiches, we found this long time Tulsa restaurant a place to explore far from ordinary classics for lunch and upscale bold contemporary food for dinner. The Boston Deli is a place to explore food, take for instance their [...]

“It was the junk business that brought me to Tulsa,” says Gary Turner, the affable Californian who, along with his wife Soya, owns Yaki Monster. Fortunately it wasn’t the junk food business. Even the soy sauce is lovingly made by hand at Yaki Monster, the newest addition to the restaurant row at Jenks’ Riverwalk. The [...]

Gluten Free Brunch, It’s a Big Dilly at Dilly Deli
August 23rd, 2011 by Heidi Hughes – Comments (2)
I adore going to brunch on the weekend. There is something so perfect about the mid morning time, the diverse menu options, and the boisterous banter from the locals all speaking of all the exciting plans or events they look forward to. It’s a “happy meal” without the drive thru. Dilly Deli has a great [...]

August 19th, 2011 by Debra Laizure – Comments (8)
Located on main street in downtown Broken Arrow, Main Street Tavern sits on a busy corner inviting patrons in for a relaxing break. The restaurant/bar is a new fixture to the area, but feels like it has been there for decades. The owners, Jason and Kat Scarpa planned it that way. They renovated the 1904 [...]

Craft Beer and Food Pairing 101
August 18th, 2011 by Wes Alexander – Comments (2)
Certainly we are all aware that beer pairs well with pizza, sausages, and hamburgers. But this is more of a pairing based on where than why. By this I mean, you are watching a football game, grilling hamburgers and this situation historically calls for beer. The purpose of this article will be to delve further [...]
Mole Poblano at Tres Amigos Mexican Grill
August 17th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (5)
I don’t think there is any doubt that Mexican cuisine is the most complex and sophisticated in the New World. (Sorry, Peru!) Many of the dishes date back to pre-Columbian times, and their startling blend of flavors seem like relics of an ancient, long-forgotten and inscrutably alien civilization. And the pinnacle, the absolute apex of [...]
Dine Well at the “New” Ridge Grill in South Tulsa
August 12th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (6)
The first thing you see when you open the ornate gold-bound menu at Mir and Mehdi Khezri’s spiffy new restaurant is a quote from Virginia Woolf. I think it’s from “A Room of One’s Own”. “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” There’s no fear of not dining [...]

Gluten Free pizza seems to be popping out of many restaurant ovens these days and I am eager to get my paws on it all! I love many of the pies around town and I have found a pizza that makes my taste buds trill, ONE LOVE, ONE HEART, and ONE GLUTEN FREE “DEEPER DISH” [...]
New Tres Amigos Mexican Grill Serves up Monstrous Fajitas
August 5th, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (5)
Judging by the number of Mexican restaurants in Tulsa I would have to say it might be one of Tulsa’s favorite types of foods. Maybe it’s the ability to share flavorful food with a friend that makes this food so great. It may seem hard to differentiate between the many Mexican restaurants around, but Tres [...]

A Sandwich for the Hungry, with the Greens at Great Harvest Bread
August 4th, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (1)
Crazy weather normally does not have a factor in the type of food I eat day-to-day. Although it is unbelievably, insanely hot in Tulsa this summer, I still have been indulging on just as many sizzling burgers, steamy soups and even had myself a few bowls of hot chili served up HOT at Ike’s Chili [...]
