Do you ever let your food take you on a journey? Maybe to another country, or to a different time period? This happens to me all the time. Sometimes food evokes memories with a special person or a fun moment with friends. It’s fun to imagine how chefs got their influence for a dish or [...]

A Pub Grubbin Good Time at Fat Daddy’s Pub and Grille
June 24th, 2011 by Brian McCullough – Comments (2)
It’s Friday night, or any 7 nights or afternoons of the week, you want a spot to chill with friends, a spot with charactor and some crazy good drink and food specials. That’s what I was thinking before my friends and I hit Fat Daddy’s Pub and Grille last week. Fat Daddy’s is a pub [...]
Traditional Vietnamese at Mekong River Restaurant
March 16th, 2011 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (3)
“Ohhh you’ve ordered something VERY traditional!” Lisa Nguyen, the woman who runs Mekong River restaurant more or less single-handedly, was excited. “Let me show you how to eat it.” I was less excited. I figured I knew how to eat things. “First you fill half your spoon with rice.” She pointed to a bowl heaped [...]
Pana Empanadas Tulsa’s only Venezuelan Restaurant
December 3rd, 2010 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (19)
Great enterprises are fueled by chance and daring. It takes luck to find an opportunity and courage to seize it. Thus Columbus, thus Magellan, and thus my friend Lucy who, when her car broke down in the dead zone around 41st and Memorial, got out, explored the area, and ate at the most unusual restaurant [...]
The New La Flama Mexican Restaurant
November 17th, 2010 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (8)
I’ve never been to the original branch of La Flama on 61st Street, but I think I’m the only one. It’s a small, homey place that serves simple, rigorously authentic Mexican food to recent immigrants eager for a taste of home. You can see the owner smiling, and from what I hear he’s not just [...]
Rex’s Chicken – Just Great Chicken (and Fry Bread)
October 7th, 2010 by Brian McCullough – Comments (10)
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 [...]
Fire Rock Grill has Gone Southwest and We Like It!
September 24th, 2010 by Staff – Comments (4)
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 [...]
Thai Food and Relaxation
September 23rd, 2010 by Staff – Comments (46)
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 [...]
The Savory Chef
August 26th, 2010 by Whitney Shae – Comments (3)
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. [...]
Genghis Grill- Mongolian Stir Fry Now Open in South Tulsa/Bixby
August 10th, 2010 by Staff – Comments (4)
Lucky day for all of the South Tulsa/Bixby residents that have only been able to enjoy Genghis Grill when on the north side of town. It might be an even better day to those who have never had Genghis Grill… so far we have experienced nothing but delicious food along with raving reviews and comments. [...]

$5 Meals at the “New” Stadium Subs and Cream
June 11th, 2010 by Whitney Shae – Comments (0)
It was mid-week, and we were looking for a filling but reasonably priced lunch. A few miles away was Stadium Subs & Cream, and we have been hearing about this $5 Lunch Special. For $5 you can get any 6″ Sub, Choice of Chips or a Small Ice Cream and a 20 oz. Drink. Hard [...]
Baker St. Pub and Grill – Now Open
April 30th, 2010 by Staff – Comments (13)
Something interesting and unique has just hit the super-busy area around 71st and Memorial. Before we even walked into Baker St. Pub & Grill we were impressed. The outdoor patio is not what you would expect to find in this area of town. Super-nice patio furniture and a cool built-in fire-pit all in a nice [...]
Bali Fusion Restaurant
April 29th, 2010 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (15)
Some of the best Malaysian food you’ll ever eat can be found within shouting distance of Woodland Hills Mall, in a tiny restaurant cheerily decorated with photographs of Singapore, Bali and Kuala Lumpur. It opened in 2008. I heard about it, meant to go, but never did, put off perhaps by the word “fusion”. Meanwhile, [...]
Biting into a Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich
April 29th, 2010 by Brian McCullough – Comments (2)
Today for once I was in the mood for a chicken sandwich, but I couldn’t just have any chicken sandwich…I had to have something unique. I knew I was going to be cooking up some burgers on the Barby tonight, so I wanted to balance out my day with a little white meat for lunch. [...]
Kolam – South India in South Tulsa
March 25th, 2010 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (7)
Good Indian restaurants are rare. India, like Mexico or, for that matter, Oklahoma, has a home-cooking tradition, and all the best meals are served behind closed doors, in private rooms which you can dream about but never enter. Rarer still are Indian restaurants which depart from the sanctified yet somehow boring canon of dishes that [...]

The Lazy Fisherman Catfish
January 15th, 2010 by Brian Schwartz – Comments (27)
Go south on Memorial, past the malls and the huge new Super Target, and somewhere south of 150th St the busy 6-lane highway becomes a sleepy country road. You’re not in Tulsa anymore. Around 168th St there’s a fork in the road, and what looks like a little low-slung wood farmhouse appears. That’s the Lazy [...]
Fat Daddy’s Pub: Fish and Chips with a Cheap Taco
July 15th, 2009 by lbanks – Comments (2)
Out to lunch for business, my coworker and I stopped by Fat Daddy’s Pub. He had been wanting to try it for years, yet for whatever reason had never managed to drop by. We showed up on a Tuesday which happened to be Cheap Taco Day. My coworker ordered the fish and chips and one [...]
Cosmos: Healthy Food and Fun Vibe
April 2nd, 2009 by Heather Quinnelly – Comments (3)
In such a busy part of town, Cosmos is still undiscovered by many who frequent the saturated chaos that is 71st and Memorial. Cosmos doesn’t do a lot of advertising; however they provide catering and do a lot of charity work which is very important to co-owner, Miranda Kaiser. Most of Cosmos popularity is likely [...]
Speedy Gonzales: Not Too Pretty But Oh So Good
March 24th, 2009 by lbanks – Comments (9)
Having been recommended by a friend, I stopped by Speedy Gonzales Mexican Food for lunch the other day. The restaurant itself is nothing special and it had always been one of those places that I would drive by without really noticing. I arrived at about 11:45 and the place was packed. I didn’t have time [...]

A Gouda Burger at The Drive-thru, thats Awesome!
January 14th, 2009 by Brian McCullough – Comments (0)
For those of you that like your hamburger pretty much straight up beef and not much more, this one is worth trying. It’s the New Gouda Burger with grilled onions and Gouda Cheese from Backyard Burger. I love how a place like Backyard Burger has multiple cheeses to pick from at their drive-thru. My favorites [...]
