When a friend called to ask if I wanted to go to a wine dinner with her at Boston Deli, I was taken aback for a minute. Did she mean that chain place famous for their broasted chicken?? Then I remembered – that one’s called Boston Market and I’d heard of this Boston Deli – [...]

Webster’s defines a foodie as “a person having an avid interest in the latest food fads:” If good ole Webster is correct, then Boston Deli is the home of the foodie. Popular amongst Tulsans who want to experience their food without sacrificing presentation, Boston Deli is a purveyor of artistic fine food and innovators of [...]

Want to grab a meal at [...]

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 [...]

How could I have passed those rustic weathered wooden doors to Biga so many times and never gone inside? Once through them, it seemed as if I was the only person in Tulsa who hadn’t. All around me, couples and larger groups were being welcomed like long-lost friends. One man apologized for not having been [...]

We were so excited when we found out that The Boston Deli was having this dinner. In case you have never been to The Boston Deli, you are in for a real treat. This is a hidden jewel that should be at the top of your list when it comes to great places to eat [...]

There’s a new chef in town. Veteran chef Steve Howard has left the building and Matt Owen rode in from the west to replace him. Owen looks a bit like a young Clark Kent, but put him near an oven and he transforms into Superchef. He’s worked as chef at the Living Foods Market in [...]

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 [...]

The four of us were walking to the door of Go West when one of the staff said “Come Back.” In unison the four of us exclaimed, “We will.” So, what did Go West do to generate such an enthusiastic and spontaneous reply? An analysis of our experience tells us why restaurants succeed and why [...]

If you’re an East Coast transplant homesick for New York and you can’t afford the price of a plane ticket home, just get yourself to the corner of Brady and Main. You’ll find a row of old brick houses that could have been moved brick by brick from the city where walking is a pastime [...]

This is not a review. My friend Mark Stenner ate what he says was the best meal of his life at The Kitchen, a long and fabulous bacchanalia which he thinks was eight courses though he lost count somewhere along the way. So he should write the review. But this is Tulsa Food after all, [...]

Not to mention they have one of the best brunch experiences around! Check out the upcoming fall events below! Zip-n-Sip Oct. 2 [...]

We knew it was coming but weren’t sure if we wanted a change. Fire Rock Grill & Bar has just added a Southwest menu which includes more delicious food and margarita options that have caused me to explore outside the norm. If you are like me you love a good weekday happy hour or Friday [...]

If you haven’t tried the Boston Deli, you are missing out. Don’t let the name fool you, they are much more than a deli. The dinners here are superb, and keep amazing me every time. Last month, we happily attended the July Progressive Wine Dinner. Each month, The Boston Deli pairs a few of their [...]

Think of Boston Deli and you’ll conjure up an image of a little shop back east, sausages hanging from the ceiling, an old guy slicing pastrami.

Superb food in an elegant Brookside setting for $12. What more can I say? Oh, there’s more. There’s a crucial point almost halfway through Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece “To the Lighthouse” when family and friends assemble for dinner. Sitting around the dinner table, each feels alone, distant and uncaring as they perform the social rituals of [...]

Local Table is one of our favorites.  In our hearts, they are most famously known for their Sunday evening wine and appetizer specials.  We like to go in with friends and order wine and appetizers off of the bar menu.  The appetizers are a good size,  2 of them make a good meal.  Running at [...]
