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 [...]
Christine and I been curious about Ella’s Good Food since it is very close to our midtown home. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from this restaurant that claims to be “good” in their name. Hence, here comes the good and bad experience we had at Ella’s. The point of this is not to be critical, just to be [...]
Special occasions, like Friday night date night with my sweetie, deserve a very special meal sometimes. After a particularly long work week I was hankering for a really good meal with great service. Having been to McGill’s quite a few times and never disappointed by both the quality of food and waitstaff that’s where we decided to go. [...]
These delicious answers to a Tulsa sweet tooth craving go above and beyond the ingenuity of a simple piece of pie or cake: 1. Peaches and Cream Sopapilla Relleno @ El Guapo’s Cantina This dessert features a warm, crispy sopapilla filled with honey and caramelized peaches. It is served with vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream and [...]
This Saturday my family and I wanted to spend an afternoon together for some food and fun. We started with the early bird matinee of Paul which was hilarious. Go see it! After the movies we decided to finally try Flying Fish Sushi Bar in the growing food mecca known as Bixby. Flying Fish piqued my interested [...]

Last weekend we decided to stop in the new Cherry Berry located on Brookside next to Fuji to check it out. Cherry Berry has lots of tasty flavors. Two of our favorites are “tart” and “birthday cake”. [...]
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 [...]
KEO Asian Cuisine has been on my radar of restaurants to review since I first saw it sprout up in Brookside a few years ago. The restaurant has a modern decor and KEO boasts of fresh ingredients and a fusion of flavors from Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Malaysia. I love food from all these regions, [...]
After Thanksgiving gorging and Black Friday craziness I woke up this Saturday morning rather late and feeling quite lazy. Brunch is perfect for those days when breakfast seems too early and lunch too far away. Having never tried The Chalkboard before it seemed like an intriguing choice for mid-morning fare. The atmosphere of The Chalkboard [...]
