There’s a reason man cooks meat over open fire. Licking flames have a way of exploding the juicy flavor within and igniting the smack factor like nobody’s business.  I call it the quintessence of the burn. Adam Myers of Burn Co. Barbecue has that down to an art form … or should I say sacrament… [...]

I think anyone who’s ever drove by Stutts has smiled and said, yes, this is how a barbecue should look. Like a Norman Rockwell painting, just the sight of it brings a touch of gladness to your heart. You know, just looking at it, that there’s a fine old history behind the place, that fifty [...]

There is nothing like being able to grill perfect food for a large group of your friends and family. Having the knowledge to grill beautiful steaks, burgers, seafood, ribs, brisket or even desserts outside is one of those life-altering hobbies. It will change you forever. Starting at JUST $25  you could learn to grill like [...]

Have you ever tasted a memory? Tonight… I did. 1998 – A 20 year old Oklahoma State College student and his pals pull into a parking spot along “The Strip” in Stillwater, Oklahoma, on a Thursday afternoon. Eager to get in line and order the Thursday special… 2-for-1 Pulled Pork sandwiches and 75 cent Budweiser [...]

Looking back over the sumptuous feasts I’ve devoured last year in Tulsa restaurants, I’m amazed by the quality. Not so long ago you’d have to fly to New York or Paris to find dishes like these. I’ve made a list of the ten best dishes I ate in 2011 — not an easy job — [...]

Unless you’re over 50, Wilson’s was serving ribs before you were born. Back in 1961, there was a string of stellar barbecues along Apache and the various side streets. Wilson’s is the sole survivor. (Except for Stutts, which used to be called Ben’s back then.) Wilson’s, again except for Stutts, is just about the only [...]

There are few eating establishments in Tulsa that I frequent. It’s hard to be a regular when every meal is an opportunity to explore Tulsa’s amazing up and coming dining scene. Although, if there was a spot that I would dine at often, it would be a smaller, low-key type of place like Claud’s, The [...]

“These are the best sides in Tulsa!” I exclaimed as we fought over the last onion ring. “And maybe the best beans anywhere.” “Certainly the best fried okra,” said Cathe. We used the word “best” a lot that evening. Usually I feel a twinge of guilt when I review a place that’s been open only [...]

Can you smell it? Awe… I can.  It’s the smell of hickory wood and grilled meats. But not just any meat, and for me, not on just any grill. Many long time readers may, or many not care – to know that I have a love affair type of relationship with my grill, she is [...]

“We don’t have an oven, we don’t have a stove top, we don’t have a frying pan, we don’t have a toaster,” says Adam Myers, owner of Burn Co BBQ. “Everything you get is cooked on our Hasty-Bake Charcoal Oven.” Adam spent 12 years as a salesman for the Hasty-Bake company, whose offices are less [...]

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 [...]

If you ever need a lesson on life’s essentials, plan yourself a camping trip. I quickly discovered that for me, the number one essential was food and it had to be grilled/smoked on my Hasty-Bake. Beautiful Oklahoma has numerous options when in comes to lake-side camping.  We decided to take our trip to Skiatook Lake’s [...]

Used to be, back when politer people called the area Coloredtown, you could walk down around Apache from Dirty Butter Creek east and find stellar barbecue at every corner. Michael Wallis, bard of the Oklahoma highways, wrote that some of the finest pitmasters in the nation hailed from that part of town, but the names [...]

Just took my Daughter and her fiancé to dinner at Stone Mill Barbecue and Steak house and wow what a meal. If you have not tried this place you need to; the Barbecue was great and so were the steaks ( I sample some of every kind), oh and HOME MADE deserts, pies, cobblers. I [...]

When I walked in to Big Daddy’s All American BBQ there were about 12-15 people in line but it went pretty fast and from there we decided to sit outside. As soon as I got my Ghetto Potato I snapped a picture and it was gone in 3 minutes. I mean check this thing out [...]

Longhorn Steakhouse on 71st, at first you think does Tulsa need another steakhouse and the answer is if it’s Longhorn Steakhouse, yes it does. Some guests and I decide it was time to try out Tulsa newest steakhouse and what a treat it was. We called ahead to avoid a wait and when we got [...]

From the moment I heard their tag line “You Don’t Have to Have Teeth to Enjoy Our Meat” I had to try (by the way I do have teeth), Wilson’s Bar-B-Que. Wilson’s has been a Tulsa favorite since the 60′s and I can see why. The original location is at 1522 E Apache but we [...]

Elmer’s BBQ ’ “It be Bad” From the moment you park your car it is evident that Elmer’s offers a unique BBQ experience. From the outdoor seating to the big BBQ sign, Elmer’s preps visitors for what is served up inside. Elmer’s is some of the best BBQ I have eaten in Tulsa so far [...]

Famous Daves is a restaurant that for the most part goes overlooked. The joint houses 6 different BBQ sauces per table, and falls in a great location next to Woodland Hills Mall. It has great corn bread, and ribs, so why is it lacking customers? The answer, sometimes you don’t get exactly what you thought [...]
