Although I’ve been feeling under the weather with a pretty nasty cold this past weekend, my husband was dying to get out of the house and try some place new.  I was worried I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the meal with my tastebuds not at their best, but I packed up my tissues and cough [...]

SMOKE on Cherry Street has been on my radar ever since they took over the vacant building which once was the Bourbon St. Cafe.  While it lay vacant with a for sale banner I pondered what it would become.  My first thought was a bar, or better yet a restaurant.  The folks at SMOKE took both [...]

The Waterfront Grill in Jenks is the new venture from the proprietor of Los Cabos restaurants, Jim Blacketer.  Los Cabos has become a Mexican staple of the Tulsa area dining scene with their beautiful locations in both Broken Arrow and on Jenks Riverwalk.  Los Cabos is known for its delicious margaritas, live music and laid back cuisine. The [...]

This morning I went to my very favorite salon, Ihloff Salon, and heard many raves from the staff about the soft opening of Andolini’s Pizza on Cherry Street.  It sounded so delicious I immediately picked up my husband and made the quick drive to Owasso for lunch.  The concept of Andolini’s was created by two brothers with [...]

There are restaurants which I drive by consistently and say to myself, “I need to check that place out”.  Sonoma Bistro & Wine Bar has been one of those restaurants for me the past couple years and yesterday Christine and I finally made it out to this quaint Bistro in the heart of Brookside.  Finding parking was a difficult [...]

[...]

Nestled way back in the corner of a shopping center @ 68th and Memorial you will find a little hidden gem called Bali Fusion Cafe.  Bali Fusion Cafe offers a variety of dishes from Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.  A melting pot of choices from Southeast Asia that fuses together and the result is a delightful dining [...]

Last week, a couple girlfriends and I decided to try one of the new Thai places in town; Bamboo Thai Bistro.  I enjoyed the meal so much I wanted to take my husband there, a true Thai food lover, and see what he thought as well.  The restaurant is housed in what used to be [...]

Last night was our first visit to Brady Tavern. It felt a little weird pulling up to the spot where Lola’s once was to find a new Tulsa hot spot.  The food and service at Lola’s was hit or miss but I will never forget their amazing chocolate & raspberry cake and the unique Dia de los [...]

Duke’s Southern Kitchen sprouted up next to the Spirit Bank Event Center last month as a fresh new country-cookin’ restaurant.  Around this time my wife showed me an article from Tulsa World which examined Chef Justin Thompson’s cast-iron skillet style of creating great fried chicken.  For those of you who don’t know, Justin Thompson is the executive [...]
