Tulsa Food

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 [...]

“We must cultivate our garden,” said Voltaire at the end of his novel “Candide”. Towards the end of his life, he did just that, at his huge farm in Ferney near the Swiss border. He was onto something. Local food tastes better. The fine rich flavors of farm-grown vegetables put bland supermarket chow to shame. [...]

Wolfgang Puck, like Dior and Armani, is one of those names that seeps into your subconscious without your being quite aware of it.

By all means, go for the view. It’s the best in Tulsa. And the paintings, those dreamy, brooding, majestic works by Bierstadt, Moran, Remington, Homer — they’re world-famous and you can spend the day happily lost in their verdant worlds. But I went for the food, and it’s well worth the trip. I had always [...]

Back in the day when Tulsa was oil capital of the world, anyone who even dreamed of being anyone stayed at the Mayo Hotel. John F.

Pretty Boy Floyd never stayed [...]

If Stonehorse Market opened in New York City, there’d be lines around the block, all day, every day, people waiting, clamoring, begging to get in. It reminds me of Christina Rossetti’s haunting, powerful poem of love and addiction, Goblin Market. People who have tasted fruit from the goblin store pine and pine away, dwindle and [...]

I have two great loves, cheese and sweets. Of course, that’s not counting Jeff Martin, my baby animal-loving husband. There’s also Woody Allen and J. Crew. Okay, let’s just say I have two great food-related loves. Somehow, and I’m not sure of the reason, I fell in love with the two worst things for you. [...]

With Oktoberfest and Halloween with the kids coming up, this might be the last weekend to get a nice romantic dinner in. Brian and I had the chance to visit Bodean Seafood Restaurant and Fish Market.

Tulsa is introducing a new concept into a land of burgers, french fries, steaks and milkshakes.
