    Tasting A Memory – Oklahoma Joe’s Comes Home 

    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 bottles.  For $6.00, you got 2 mouth-watering sandwiches and 2 ice cold beers that were so cold (the beer, not the sandwiches) the ice would be stuck to the bottle.  But this day was different.  This day, the beer was not ice cold.  The smell of smoked meats was mysteriously absent.  There were no longer Oklahoma Joe smokers lined up along the windows.  The long hardwood tables and benches where we had shared so many Thursday specials, slabs of ribs and ice cold brews were no more.  The building was a ghost… a good friend who just disappeared without warning.  A memory that would only live on as an anecdote in our personal accounts of our youth.

    So it is understandable that when I read the Tweet from @tdmarkit8dude that the old Runt’s BBQ building in Broken Arrow (and also formerly Gameday Tailgate Bar & Grill) stating that the building’s marquee read “Oklahoma Joe’s BBQ Coming This Fall”, my excitement over this new addition to the Tulsa BBQ scene rose to epic levels.  And my excitement has held no boundaries.  I, along with many other Tulsa and Broken Arrow natives, have taken many side-trips over the last 3 months to follow the progress of legendary pit master Joe Don Davidson’s latest venture.  From the addition of signs to the building,  to new construction going on in the back of the building (which turned out to be Joe’s smokehouse, equipped with the same models of smokers that have made him an icon in the competition BBQ circuit), to a personal tour of the restaurant’s progress with Joe himself… all this anticipation spread out over 3 months came down to this one epic Manly Food moment…  The moment I sat down at Oklahoma Joe’s BBQ, picked up the bottle of BBQ sauce as I do at every BBQ joint I visit, and squeezed out that drop sublime nectar onto my finger and stuck it in my mouth.

    You see, my love affair with this development wasn’t tied to the fact that Joe Davidson has won over 300 barbeque championships.  It wasn’t tied into the fact that he was the co-founder of one of Kansas City’s finest and most successful BBQ restaurants… the restaurant that Anthony Bourdain labeled as one of 13 Places to Eat Before You Die.  It wasn’t even tied into Joe’s countless television and media appearances.  This infatuation stems from memories of my youth.  Memories that molded me into the Manly Food connoisseur I am today.  Memories I can taste.

    This moment.  This single, solitary point in time when Oklahoma Joe’s BBQ sauce hit the tip of my tongue tonight for the first time since 1998 was, perhaps, my single greatest moment as a foodie so far.  It was a moment that reminds me why I take pictures of the food I eat.  Why I tweet those pictures out for anyone who cares to see them.  That moment is why I do what I do.

      I’ve read that (at least in Kansas City) you can get a pulled pork Z-man sandwich on request.

        Yes. The Z-man with chicken is popular too from what I’ve heard.

    Posted this on Twitter but thought I’d see what people had to say in here too. The wife got a gift certificate to The Chalkboard so we’re having a fancy little date night tomorrow night. I see the menu has lamb chops, so I doubt I’ll be able to talk myself into trying anything other than that, but thought I’d see if anyone who’s been has any specific suggestions. I know there’s several articles on the subject on TulsaFood.com but I’m too lazy to read them all and thought maybe some other Tulsa Food Talk readers might have some suggestions.

    Also, is it so fancy that I should shave my beard?

     

    • Brian Schwartz 9:29 am on March 27, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      I haven’t a clue. The only times I’ve eaten there were for $13 Restaurant Week lunches (which were really good). The lamb chops on the menu look amazing. (Maybe you should ask for them medium rare? Overcooked lamb is not so good.) You don’t have to shave. Please post a comment to tell us about the food!

      • Tulsa Food Guy 9:41 am on March 27, 2011 Permalink | Reply

        Definitely medium rare! The only thing I worry about in getting lamb chops is getting filled up. That’s one food item I could literally eat until I puke. I’ll take some pictures for sure and update you guys here and/or try to get a review posted on it. I think the wife is just excited to get over and check out the Ambassador.

    • Tulsa Food Guy 10:58 pm on March 27, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      I’ll have more details later, and I certainly wasn’t “unimpressed”. I did feel like The Chalkboard might be trying too hard, and I felt like the quantity of food didn’t match the price. Pretty much what I expected but was hoping for more. The lamb chops were the ones that look like miniature t-bones which I love, but there were only two of them. Serving someone like me that is like telling me to be satisfied with a couple of sliders. Very tasty but… well… I’ll have more details to follow. :)

    Café 51–Down ‘n Dirty But Oh So Good 

     

     

    Found a nice little surprise by accident Sunday morning.  We were looking for a good diner/breakfast and wanted to try something different… as usual.  So we decided to try the Freeway Café up on Sheridan.  But then a quick Google Maps search to confirm location brought up a “Freeway Café” at 51st and Hwy 169.  This was a little closer so we decided why not, right?  Well, it wasn’t a “Freeway Café” but that didn’t bother me… in fact, I actually got a little feeling inside that only a cholesterol-seeking foodie can get, thinking that I’ve stumbled across something new!  Well, a quick Google Search found that I wasn’t the first to stumble across this little hole-in-the-wall locted in a pretty convenient location just south of where Hwy 169 and the BA Expressway collide.  So my impressions?

    Well, I judge diners like this on a different scale than I might some other restaurants, and right off the bat, Café 51 took ahold of a huge chunk of my heart…

    New Billy Ray’s Catfish and BBQ opened up this week in BA on 91st and Elm. I’ve never been to the other locations but was very pleased with this one. The catfish was probably the best I’ve had in this town and the pulled pork sandwich was awesome. I don’t know if the other locations have this deal or not, but this one has 99 cent BBQ sandwiches if you use their drive-thru. We ate in, so I didn’t get to see what one of these sandwiches looks like… I’m guessing it’s kind of a BBQ slider type of thing. I’ll be back very soon (probably this weekend) to find out!

    Egg Sandwich. Simple, tasty, and about as Manly as you can get without having meat. Just fry up a couple eggs, slap a piece of cheese on the bottom slice of bread and another slice on top of the egg, give the cheese a minute to melt and you’ve got a delicious and easy midnight snow day snack!

    Best “Fast Food” Fried Chicken? 

    After 2 weeks of seeing the Church’s Fried Chicken ads for 10 piece leg and thighs for $7.99, I finally broke down and went for it tonight with a craving for fried chicken and looking for something cheap and easy. I prefer Popeyes but thought I’d give Church’s special a try. So I thought I’d post the question here… What is the best fast food fried chicken? Popeye’s… Church’s… KFC? Someone else? At least until Flavor Flave brings his fried chicken to Tulsa, it’s Popeye’s all the way for me.

     

    • Brian Schwartz 11:08 am on January 30, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      Why would anyone get fast food fried chicken when you can go to A-1? (Okay I’ve heard rumors that A-1 is closed.) So I don’t know where to go but I’ll give you a tip, which you probably know already. If they give you fried chicken that has been sitting around for more than about 10 minutes, it won’t be that great, and if it has been there for hours under a heat lamp it will be the worst you’ve ever had. Get it fresh from the fryer.

      • Tulsa Food Guy 10:23 am on January 31, 2011 Permalink | Reply

        1. Cheaper. 2. Faster. 3. Convenient hours/location(s)

        I get Popeye’s leg and thigh for 99 cents Tuesday special on a regular basis. And I have rarely been disappointed in Popeyes. The other major chains? Meh…

      Larry’s Chicken, in Owasso — on 86th Street just West of 169, in the building that used to be KFC years-n-years ago. It’s mom-n-pop, but still pretty fast. Larry his own self is usually working at the drive-thru, his wife is at the counter inside. WIth or without bones, the chicken is just crunchy enough to be crunchy, but not to the point that it leaves tons of crumbs everywhere, juicy but not greazy, and the gravy is soooo excellent.

        I once heard someone say something good about Charlie’s Chicken, which has several branches here. Several vampires eat there in one of the House of Night novels. (See “Untamed”, page 174)

        I’ve had Larry’s once, and from what I recall it was good, but it’s been a long time.
        Charlie’s is ok, but I actually prefer their chunks over the fried chicken… and I don’t really consider anything boneless “fried chicken”.

    Bring White Castle to Tulsa! 

    I started this petition awhile back, but then never really followed through to drum up support, so I thought I’d bring it here to Tulsa Food Talk and see if we could get this thing rolling.  In short, a White Castle franchise would be perfect for this city and I think we owe it to ourselves, as fellow Tulsa food lovers, to at least try to make some noise!  Read more on my thoughts on why Tulsa NEEDS a White Castle, or if you’re feeling lazy, just go straight to the petition and make your voice heard at http://www.bringwhitecastletotulsa.com.  Tell your friends, tell your neighbors.  Tweet It, Facebook It, Like It, Love it.  Digg It, MySpace it (bwahahaha), YouTube it.  WUPHF it!  Stand on your rooftop and scream and shout it!

    Thank you for your support!

      Hi my name is Bill Uhre I am the Ex Producer & Director of the upcoming film that will be release in 2012 White Castle What America Craves. I have lived in Tulsa for 13 years now. It is great to see your petition however White Castles are not franchised they are owned by one family for 90 years this year. The Ingram family it would be there decision and they mover slowly they have 443 restaurants in 12 states. I can tell you from dealing with them personally Tulsa is on there list but it is down quite a ways and would probably be 10-15 years before we would see one. No one loves them more than I do I grew up in Brooklyn NY and had my first one at 5 I was hooked. This is why I am creating the film to tell the amazing story of the square little hamburger. If you want to know more write back or go to facebook and search for White Castle What America Craves lots of info there.

        I guess I should move on to bringKrystaltotulsa.com back-up plan. Or I could romance an Ingram heiress… I’m sure the wife would be ok with that if it was for The Greater Good!

        It is truly a shame that many Tulsans may never taste the greatness of a REAL White Castle burger.

I’m from a very small area where the town I actually lived in doesn’t even have a red light so it really was our fun to the go the mall and eat somewhere. I introduced my fiancee to Krystal’s when we went for a visit last year and he was IMMEDIATELY addicted. It really is a taste of home I truly miss and would love to see here SOOOOO GOOOODDDDD*DROOL*

    Sitting at Hooters today, I started missing my favorite breaded hot wing place from the St. Louis area… Show Me’s (Get it… “Show Me State” + “Show Me Your Big ‘uns!” + Hooters ripoffs = Great wing joint!) Are there any Tulsa entrepreneurs out there who would like to bring a taste of the Show Me State to Oklahoma?

      Hooters really does have special wings. Are there any that you see comparable in Tulsa?

    • Tulsa Food Guy 3:51 pm on January 16, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      Not that I’ve found. The breaded hot wing (outside of Hooters) is about as rare as an albino Sasquatch. Potbellies and Crawpapys have great breaded hot wings, but they aren’t saucy. The heat is in the breading… and aren’t really all that hot.

    The Land of the Misshapen Burger – Long Burger 

    It seems new restaurants are popping up in this town faster than it takes my boy to decide he has to take a crap every time he walks into a restaurant.  In other words… REAL fast (yes, my favorite part of English class was foreshadowing).  While everyone else in town has been talking about all the hip new places popping up on Cherry Street and downtown, Broken Arrow has also been adding a lot of new flavor to the Yellow Pages.  So as you can imagine, I was pretty darn excited to drive by the old (and crappy) Western Diner on Elm, a little ways south of Kenosha (that’s BA talk fer 71st Street) only to discover something new called Long Burger.

    Now I really didn’t know how literal the name actually was until I tried it.  I just figured it was owned by some people named Long, or maybe the owner was over-compensating for his manhood.  However, the place is actually called Long Burger because that’s what they specialize in… Long Burgers.

    You can’t really tell from what could only be described as a salad on top of this sandwich, but there actually is a decent amount of hamburger and cheese under there, along with a “Special Sauce”… hehe, that phrase makes me laugh every time!  And if you’re looking for a burger, but not your normal run of the mill burger, this is something you’ve gotta try.  The sandwich is more of a loose meat burger, and seasoned with what seemed to me very similar to Gyro seasoning.  The Long Burger comes in 2 sizes, Medium and Large (I guess it wouldn’t make much sense to have a Small Long Burger would it?).  The one I had and the one pictured above is the medium… I believe it’s 6 inches and the large one is 10 inches.  I tried the medium because I was hoping it would leave room for this…

    I won’t even attempt to claim that I’m an expert on Greek food.  I just don’t eat it very often and this was just another reminder that I really should.  I do have to say though, the idea of eating food that is packaged in tin foil is very Manly… takes me back to my days living in the dorms.   I can tell you this… it was the best gyro I’ve had in the Tulsa area!

    If you aren’t a fan of Gyros or Long Burgers, there really probably isn’t much of a point in going here since the only other things on the menu (at least for now) are Hot Dogs and French Fries, although by the looks of it the hot dog is pretty dang good too…

    I’ll let you know how it tastes when I have it for my midnight snack.

    And as you may have guessed, we’ve added Long Burger to the growing list of Places My Son Has Pooped At!
