One of my favorite dishes, Biscuit & Gravy, is a southern dish normally eaten for breakfast and the comfort it bring me is second to none. Those of you that know me understand that my love for hamburgers is rooted in my soul. Last weekend, at opening night of the new Duke’s Southern Kitchen in [...]

A spanking new Thai restaurant has come to grace the tired old strip mall at 51st and Yale. From the outside, it looks like an abandoned McDonald’s, but walk inside and you’re in a totally different world: austere, modern and very red. A few months ago, I reviewed My Thai Kitchen, and in that review [...]

We were so lucky to sample entrees to be offered at the new Duke’s Southern Kitchen.  Duke’s will be Opening in Bixby/South Tulsa right next to the Spirit Bank Event Center this weekend or next week (have not gotten official word yet). With great excitement for this new Tulsa restaurant, we wanted to share a [...]

Ever have days where you just want to get out of the house, grab a warm lunch and do some shopping? Well yesterday, that’s just what we did. Brian and I decided to take a much needed break for lunch and head down the street to The Ripe Tomato inside The Market. I have always [...]

Oliveto is offering some warm, hearty options during this cold holiday season. Just in time for the holidays, this Italian Bistro is mixing up its “Chalkboard Specials” to satisfy any palate. These specials are available through February. Some of the items include shrimp and chicken pasta, two filet entrées and a featured drink and dessert. [...]

If cupcakes are your weakness, then prepare to be obliterated. Tulsa is about to get a few new cupcake store-fronts which will accommodate any cupcake lover, regardless of which side of town you live on. You may already be a fan of Tulsa’s established bakeries that serve cupcakes such as Ann’s Bakery and Merritt’s Bakery [...]

The title of this entry should really be “Covering Traditional Thai with Velveeta Cheese is smackyomomma GOOD!” I have been involved in many discussions about totally Americanized Pad Thai vs. more authentic Pad Thai.  After visiting Thai Village the non-traditional like yo momma made mac-N-Cheese or just straight up covered leftovers with cheese, in my [...]

One thing that blows my mind is to think back about my heritage. My genealogy is a true melting pot, as is a lot of people in the states. Throughout my life one of the cultures that has been the most evident is my Lebanese heritage. If you knew me you might never know that [...]

If you’re wondering why people rave about Genghis Grill so much, stop wondering and go try it for yourself. It’s a Mongolian Grill concept like no other, and I’ve seen it get more people hooked more than any other current restaurant concept. When you first walk into a Genghis Grill, you will be greeted by [...]

Memories have a way of becoming a bit foggy, and if you haven’t noticed, things we remember tend to get idealized beyond what they were in realty. That’s why I wasn’t sure what to expect when I paid a visit to Rex’s Chicken recently. The brand has recently been revived by Beautiful Brands International in [...]

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 [...]

When we think of Tulsa as a diverse city, we can practically pick a culture to immerse ourselves in. This week we decided to immerse ourselves into the Thai culture, primarily in the areas of food and relaxation. The Thai people are very simple, yet mysterious to many foreigners. A majority of the Thai people [...]

There’s something to be said about good quality food that is served up at a local establishment. There is even more to be said about a quality menu that changes every week. That’s exactly what you’re gonna find Tuesday-Saturday every week at The Boston Deli Grill & Market. Throughout owner Ken Shafer’s restaurant career he [...]

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 [...]

Heck of a lunch experience. The Savory Chef restaurant located in the back of the cooking gadget store is a small but very enjoyable place. My friend and I were seated in the center of the restaurant a few tables back from the kitchen and greeted by the owners as soon as we sat down. [...]

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 [...]

“I don’t know Indian food at all. What should I order at an Indian restaurant?” In any discussion of world cuisine, this question always comes up. If someone gave a class on ordering at Indian restaurants and charged $10 to get in, he’d get lots of takers. Well, how about learning just what to order [...]

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. Walk through the front door of Boston Deli on 61st Street and it’ll be a lot like you imagined. A smallish space with glass cases laden with meats and [...]

We at Tulsa Food would like to invite you to a special Monday night Dinner event. Next week, we plan to kick off the beginning of the week with the Progressive Wine Dinner at the Boston Deli. Many of you have been to The Boston Deli and know that they serve up a unique variety [...]
