A few months ago I received a lovely message from the PR rep at la Madeleine. She invited me and my fellow Tasty Tulsa bloggers to the “bloggers and media” tasting event. This was to meet the owner of the company, taste their dishes, and give some feedback. We were so excited to go, unfortunately […]

Lola’s Rolls Back Into Town – Gypsy Caravan Trailer Style!
Today my husband and I decided to a take a trip to one of our favorite destinations – a food truck! Eric had noticed the Airstream Trailer for the last week or so and after he told me about it, we were wondering if it could possibly be the same Lola’s that we used to […]
A Fabulous Brunch at La Hacienda!
Sometimes I wake up craving Mexican food. More specifically chips and salsa, with refried beans. I can’t really explain it as it only happens once in a blue moon. It is kind of like my 8th wonder of my foodie world. So last weekend, it happened, the random morning Mexican craving, and luckily it was […]
A New Found Favorite Lunch Spot at Tacos El Rinconcito!
Today my husband and I were headed to the midtown Best Buy for some early Christmas shopping, when we suddenly became quite hungry. I find a hungry shopper is an angry shopper, so we had to nip that nonsense in the taste buds. We pulled out our iPhones and checked Urbanspoon for nearby places to […]
It’s Crowded… But No One Was Actually Eating at The Sushi Place
I hate this kind of blog post. This is one where I feel guilty for writing it, but also feel like I have to because of the sheer disappointment of a dining experience. I probably would have refrained from ever writing this at all, drawing on the old adage “if you can’t say something nice…” […]
Get Stuffed at El Rio Verde for Next to Nothing
After hearing many rave reviews from friends and coworkers about El Rio Verde, my husband and I decided to make our way north of Admiral in search of a satisfying south-of-the-border meal. To be honest we had a bit of a tough time finding the restaurant at first. Eventually we found it nestled in the […]
“I Got 99 Problems & Brunch Ain’t One” – Thanks Dilly Deli!
Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was Friday, very nice outside and both my husband and I had the glorious day off. We decided to head to brunch at a good brunchin’ hour – around 10:00 am. We hopped, skipped and jumped our way downtown and happened upon Dilly Deli. I’d always been curious about […]
Just Between Buns – Leon’s Brookside
Tonight my family and I decided to dine at the sports-themed restaurant & bar, Leon’s — aka Leon’s on the Restless Ribbon — aka Leon’s Brookside, for the first time. I’ve been curious about Leon’s because according to Urbanspoon it’s one of the best burger joints in town. I thought this would be the perfect […]
Saturday Morning Beignets and a Fancy Frittata at the Wild Fork!
This morning the hubby and I were hankering for a hearty breakfast that wouldn’t disappoint. We decided to try the Wild Fork since it has always piqued our interest as we have meandered around Utica Square. The atmosphere is quirky and colorful with local art and pretty light fixtures. This morning the restaurant was a […]
The Full Moon Cafe – Fun & Friendly Fare
Today my husband and I decided to take an early lunch on Cherry Street and headed to The Full Moon Cafe. I had been to The Full Moon Cafe at night to enjoy the fun atmosphere and live music, but never for lunch. We were excited to try someplace new and give it a try! […]
