I used to walk four miles to go to Ron’s. Back then, Ron’s was located in what looked like, and probably at one time was, a little country shack out near Harvard. There was a long counter with about 12 stools. No tables. The place was always packed and there’d be a line of people [...]

The gluten free stars have aligned in the Cosmos. Well, they have aligned at Cosmo’s…on Brookside! I arrived late as usual fashionably late to meet my girlfriend Abby a couple days ago and was pleasantly surprised to see a gluten free menu waiting for me. Yes, you read that right. Not a gluten option list, [...]

We hope to see you downtown tonight and Saturday afternoon for some award winning, smoked with love, finger licking good BBQ! Come early Saturday to get a sample plate. On behalf of The Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, we’d like to invite you to attend the 14th Annual Art of Barbeque, presented by Oklahoma [...]

Last weekend, I attended a chef demonstration the Curtis Culinary Stage (www.curtisequipment.com) at the Rock n Rib BBQ Festival (www.getsaucedtulsa.com) at the BOK Center. Remmington (Remmi) Smith was the scheduled chef for Sunday and she was amazing. Chef Remmi is 11 years old and has her own TV show, which airs in Tulsa and Oklahoma [...]

Unless you’re over 50, Wilson’s was serving ribs before you were born. Back in 1961, there was a string of stellar barbecues along Apache and the various side streets. Wilson’s is the sole survivor. (Except for Stutts, which used to be called Ben’s back then.) Wilson’s, again except for Stutts, is just about the only [...]

You ready to get sauced? For real though, we are taking a 4 day weekend under the beautiful Oklahoma sky in Downtown Tulsa for the 2011 Rock ’n Rib Festival. That means four days of championship BBQ and live music on the streets outside the BOK Center. Come out for a national collaboration of award [...]

There are many different kinds of sports bars. Some are constantly crowded within a shoebox of a space, with the regulars slugging dollar drafts at 10:00 in the morning on a Tuesday. Some are large and spread out with so much to explore you cannot focus on the game. And then there are those few [...]

Cosi is an ideal place to grab a healthy, yet tasty, meal, meet friends, browse the web, warm up by the fire place with a cup of coffee, take your kids for tableside s’mores or to grab a quick breakfast. Along with these great things, we also recently discovered the convenience and quality of Cosi’s [...]

I found myself in many conversations with fellow foodies, chefs and restaurant owners about the food and service that is, “magical” over at Michael V’s Restaurant on 103rd and Memorial. I thought to myself, surely I would have been here sooner if it were that good. I later found out that I have, only it [...]

Last time while chowing down on a loaded Cobb Salad at LuLu’s (which has maple bacon, blue cheese, tomatoes, egg and avocado), I remember hearing a little girl refer to LuLu’s as, “The Cupcake Place”. I noticed a lot of parents and children in LuLu’s, but also saw a lot of locals off in the [...]

Stroll down Mulberry Street in Manhattan’s Little Italy towards sunset and you’ll see rows of hundred year old russet-brown brick buildings, lots of tiny Italian restaurants, and happy diners seated outside. Inside those restaurants are stamped tin ceilings, tan walls, chintzy paintings and checkered tablecloths. A lot like this. This is Napoli’s Restaurant in Sand [...]
