What great books they are, and the music of their language still resonates in my mind. But there is no mention of food! Sure, there are a lot of meals mentioned. Meals served to calm the troubled Benjy, meals used as battles when Jason insists that his niece and mother appear for dinner even though they aren't hungry. But never a mention of what they ate! I keep imagining home-cured bacon, home-grown vegetables, incredible delights but for all you'd know from reading Faulkner they're all eating slop.

I graduated from Ole Miss a few years ago and am always reminiscing about restaurants and bars in Oxford. When you visit Oxford again, you have to try the meatloaf (or pretty much anything) at Ajax Diner and the catfish at Taylor Grocery. But don't go during football season if you want to try either of these restaurants because you won't be able to get a seat. Wow, your article brought back some memories.

I usually take visitors to Tucci's; Stonehorse; Villa Ravennna;Ri-Le's for the best Vietnamese food ever, given 4 stars and declared the "freshest oriental food" by the New York Times; Garlic Rose; Cosmo and Lola's. Food, atmosphere--and for the best burger in town, JJ's Gourmet Burgers offers ground ribeye seasoned and grilled to perfection. And for dessert--KoKoa, now at Utica Square. And there is so much more! For the best Mexican food, El Rio Verde. Tulsa has so much to offer! I am always so proud to show off our wonderful local restaurants when friends, relatives or co-workers come into town. I love most of the places you mentioned.

But if I had visitors from New York whom I wanted to please, and make very very happy, I'd take them to places where you'll find things you can't get in New York. Buffalo BBQ in Sperry on a fine day when you can eat at the picnic table. N.Y. puts so much time and effort into BBQ restaurants and they never get it right. Shiloh Diner for chicken-fried steak cooked in lard. Sweet Lisa's in Northside or Lazy Fisherman for fried catfish. Someone's farm for fresh off the vine or tree or whatever vegetables, simply and perfectly cooked.

I would definitely say that if I could take out of town guests one place it would be Palace Cafe. One that I like that didn't make the list is El Guapo's. Nice read. Not much to disagree with here.
