The northeast corner of 81st and Yale will never be the same. That’s because the new Fresh Market is packing out the parking lot with anxious shoppers of this first in Oklahoma location. Fresh Market provides a unique grocery shopping experience that might seem similar to Whole Foods although its quite different… as it should [...]

Freebirds World Burrito has made its way to Tulsa and the masses are enjoying. The privately owned California burrito chain serves customized burritos with flavor and style. Pick from multiple tortilla sizes, even a huge 7 pounder. Freebird serves up fresh flavors and amazing hot sauces. Behold the cross section of my carne asada burrito [...]

Cosi is an ideal place to grab a healthy, yet tasty, meal, meet friends, browse the web, warm up by the fire place with a cup of coffee, take your kids for tableside s’mores or to grab a quick breakfast. Along with these great things, we also recently discovered the convenience and quality of Cosi’s [...]

Chef Bootcamp is a 7-week intensive course for those who are ready to take their cooking to the next level! Classes begin September [...]

The first thing you see when you open the ornate gold-bound menu at Mir and Mehdi Khezri’s spiffy new restaurant is a quote from Virginia Woolf. I think it’s from “A Room of One’s Own”. “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” There’s no fear of not dining [...]

Gluten Free pizza seems to be popping out of many restaurant ovens these days and I am eager to get my paws on it all! I love many of the pies around town and I have found a pizza that makes my taste buds trill, ONE LOVE, ONE HEART, and ONE GLUTEN FREE “DEEPER DISH” [...]

Judging by the number of Mexican restaurants in Tulsa I would have to say it might be one of Tulsa’s favorite types of foods. Maybe it’s the ability to share flavorful food with a friend that makes this food so great. It may seem hard to differentiate between the many Mexican restaurants around, but Tres [...]

1988. President Reagan was sending aid to our allies, including a young man named Osama bin Laden, to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. If you had a great time at the bar and wanted to share it, you’d snap some photos, rush to the store to have the film developed, and then run to [...]

One halcyon summer long ago, when I was at that age when Proustian memories are effortlessly formed, my parents and I went motoring around the English countryside. My dad had it planned so that we stopped each night at a grand old country inn, built around the time when Shakespeare was a boy and little [...]

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 [...]

After working up an appetite whiffing golf balls at LaFortune park, D and I decided to try the Thai restaurant on the corner- Bamboo Thai Bistro. With its plain facade and strip mall local I learned not to judge a book by its cover. Things are not always as they seem! Though its name professes it to [...]

Oh my gosh, clothes, shoes and accessories…. The Market at 8281 South Harvard Avenue is awesome for those things. But wait a second, I’m a dude and ya…although The Market is amazing for shopping, there is something even more special about this spot that everyone should know about. Hidden in the back left corner of [...]

We were so excited when we found out that The Boston Deli was having this dinner. In case you have never been to The Boston Deli, you are in for a real treat. This is a hidden jewel that should be at the top of your list when it comes to great places to eat [...]

I’m a biscuit and gravy, bacon and egg kind of dude. But lets be honest…you can’t eat that everyday. These days there are so many breakfast options and being that its the most important meal of the day I recommend exploring all the options. We recently discovered not just a variety of breakfast wraps and [...]

It’s the weekend, late morning. Not quite feeling breakfast, not quite feeling lunch. There’s no better solution than a good ‘ole brunch. Brunch at Sarah’s fits the bill for a hole-in-the-wall breakfast/lunch place. It just reminds you of one of those places “where the locals eat.” Very small, yet cozy with plates flying out of [...]

There are quite a few more good Thai restaurants in Tulsa than you’d have a right to expect, and some of them are surprisingly good. Lanna Thai, while not the best (that would be My Thai) easily falls in that class. I remember when it was the best. When it opened ten years ago in [...]

When I’m in the mood for sushi I become an unstoppable force. Nothing but a straight line and time separate me from fulfilling this craving. With a variety of fish flown in twice weekly, Fuji’s sushi menu is where I look for some of Tulsa’s freshest sushi. Fuji has been serving authentic sushi for 25 [...]

On our first visit to Howie’s, we could not resist the Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Pizza – Hamburger & Smoked Bacon topped with Mozzarella & Aged Cheddar Cheese. On our crust, we did half ranch crust and half garlic herb. This pizza was full of flavor. Hungry Howie’s also has a Hawaiian style pizza called the [...]

Gusano’s Chicago Style Pizza recently opened in South Tulsa at about 101th and Mingo and they are coming to Tulsa with a big claim. Their website says that they make, “THE best Chicago-style deep dish pizza in the world”. If you love pizza and that does not get you excited, I don’t know what will. [...]

I have been eating at Bellacino’s for about 3 years now. Up until this week, I’ve been preoccupied with their selection of grinders. Not exploring a restaurant’s menu is the very thing that I try to avoid. Bellacino’s variety of  specialty pizzas and ingredients really impressed me, but what got me even more excited were the [...]

Cinco De Mayo is around the corner and we want to help you celebrate next week with style and taste. With four Tulsa-area locations, Compadres Mexican Grill is a local haven for great Mexican food and drinks with a kid-friendly environment, accommodations for large crowds, quick seating, bar seating with big screens to catch a [...]

This week I want to spotlight Camille’s Sidewalk Café which is the creation of David Rutkauskas and his wife, Camille. They started the Camille’s concept back in 1996. Now, if you want to talk about a true homegrown, rags to riches kind of story… Camille’s is it. A lot of us remember when it was [...]

Yeah, I know what your thinking…. I do eat salads (not just burgers and tacos), as a matter of fact you can find some dang good salads at many locally owned Tulsa restaurants. You may consider a green journey this Spring after browsing these Tulsa salads. Many make their own unique dressing and use very [...]

Early on a Wednesday evening, TiAmo South Italian Restaurant is already crowded. Families pack the place. Large families. As many as 14 people are jammed around a long long table next to ours. Elegant, courteous waiters, the owner cruising from table to table, chatting with the regulars. TiAmo’s been around a long time. It’s a [...]
