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 [...]

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 [...]

Ready? We’re going on a road trip deep into the Southern part of the country, near the gulf coast. On the dining agenda are fresh half-shell oysters and crawfish straight out of the ocean.

With great excitement for this new Tulsa restaurant, we wanted to share a [...]

I’m honestly reluctant to write this review and share it with you. I love Lunabread Local Foods Emporium and dread the day that everyone knows about it, fills up its limited space, and eats all of their artisan creations before I do. My eating affair with Lunabread Local Foods Emporium began last summer at the [...]

One of my friends just picked up and moved to Key West, Florida, that most Southern of U.S. towns, and that’s got me dreaming of southern climes and seaside cafes, of sunlight bouncing off white stucco walls and scattering white sparkles on the sea. There’s a whole new generation of Southern chefs out there, and [...]

Sometimes good is good enough. If you want the best fried catfish you can imagine, make the drive to Bixby and head for Lazy Fisherman (Review). For the best Cajun food, go to Lafayette, Louisiana or to Chicory & Chives (Review), it’s up to you. But if you’re cruising around the superstore zone at 71st [...]

Bigger, better than ever, open for breakfast lunch and dinner, and now in South Tulsa. There was a woman from New Iberia, Louisiana who visited Chicory & Chives back when it was a tiny Westside diner. She ordered the Crawfish Etouffee. It was so good she brought her family back to try it, and they [...]

Hebert’s is world-famous. People in Cajun-deprived locales such as New York and California order Hebert’s Turduckens and Alligator Dips on the Internet. For years I’d wanted to try their Turducken, which is a chicken crammed inside a duck with a turkey wrapped around it. Finally I did, and it was something of a disappointment. But [...]

Leave the glitzy hotels and glassy skyscrapers of downtown, cruise a few blocks down Archer — doing just what Bob Wills did in “Take Me Back to Tulsa” when he sang “let me off at Archer and I’ll walk down to Greenwood” — walk through the old wood door of Abears, and you’ll enter a [...]

Now if you’re even a casual reader of Tulsa Food, you’re bound to have read a lot about Chicory & Chives, that country and Cajun luncheonette over on the West Side. So I’ll just weigh in on one thing and one thing only: their roux. From what I know about Cajun food, it involves this. [...]

Check out this delicious lunch special from Chicory & Chives. This is Cajun grilled shrimp with cheese grits. The shrimp is spicy and tender and the cheese grits are definitely more sophisticated than they seem. Loaded with flavor (and bacon), they are so light and fluffy. The sausage was an unexpected extra and was not [...]

I have heard many great things about this building that stands out on 71st/Kinosha. A lot of people have said its a great place to go for a date or a New Orleans experience. I was excited to be invited for a lunch meeting at Copelands and to try to make a connection with all [...]
