Every other week my friend and I have a Memories of Japan lunch, and yesterday was one of them. When you walk into the restaurant, the first thing you see is a couple of sushi chefs working behind the bar. The rest of the restaurant has a very warm and cozy atmosphere. As usual, we […]
Lunch at Upper Crust Wood Fired Pizza
My friends and I stopped into Upper Crust Wood Fired Pizza for a winter’s lunch and got their salad & pizza lunch deal. For $12 you get a personal pan pizza of your choice, a salad, and a beverage. In my opinion, $12 is a little bit pricey for lunch, so I was interested to […]
Franklin’s Pork & Barrel is Mixing Up Fab Flavors
When I first started this post, I didn’t know what category to put Franklin’s Pork & Barrel in, because while they do serve amazing pulled pork and some interesting BBQ sauces, they’re not quite what you’d expect in a BBQ joint. And while they do have some amazing chipotle sauces and other Mexican influences in […]
Roppongi Ramen: A Little Setting with a Lot of Heart
Roppongi ramen restaurant sits in the little corner lot that used to house LaSalle’s New Orleans, and for a new restaurant, the seats are filling up quite swiftly.

Lunch with Caribbean Flair at Sisserou’s
We stepped out of the cold winter weather and into a miniature island paradise for lunch at Sisserou’s yesterday. Sisserou’s serves food inspired by the Caribbean island of Dominica, which specializes in colorful cuisine. Sisserou’s does a great job of adding pops of color without making the place look over the top. When you first […]
Tulsa Oktoberfest 2016
Yesterday I headed to River West Festival Park to partake in all of the festivities that Tulsa’s Oktoberfest has to offer. With the cool autumn breezes rolling in here, it was a perfect day for being outside and enjoying the fest. At Oktoberfest, first thing’s first: surveying the beer selections. After checking out all of the […]
An Autumn Afternoon Downtown: Pinkitzel
After an awesome lunch at El Guapo’s Cantina in Tulsa’s Blue Dome District, my daughter and I went to get a sweet treat at Pinkitzel. Let me just say that this is the most adorable little sweet shop! It’s bright and everything is super cute and delicious looking, making it hard to choose between all of […]
An Autumn Afternoon Downtown: El Guapo’s
Today my daughter and I took advantage of our school/work fall vacation time to have a leisurely day out, and we started with lunch at El Guapo’s Cantina in downtown Tulsa. When you walk into El Guapo’s, you’re transported to a fun & festive atmosphere, with piñata-decorated high ceilings and plenty wall decor. The medium-low […]

This weekend Tasty Tulsa celebrated all of the happy news with a no-holds-barred feast of burnt ends at Oklahoma Joe’s, topped off with a cool, […]
