The Kobe sliders and the Pulled Pork sandwich are truly unbelievable!  I'm glad they got a good writeup!

I went to the Flying Fish sushi joint over at 111th & S. Memorial. Interesting place. Great service and food was above average. I will go back.

I want to check this out too!  Is there a good lounge, or is it mainly a bar?

From what I remember, when you enter, there is a bar area on the left and a full dining room. There is also an upstairs area that has a bar as well. Try the chicken wings.

Southie restaurants.  He doesn't rag on those.

Portabella mushroom burger at the Clubhouse for lunch today.  

Unfreaking believable!

Better than a hamburger.  Don't know how they get it so juicy.

Went to FuWa Asian Kitchen at 101st & S. Sheridan (where Andales used to be). Apparently only carryout/delivery. Pretty decent, small menu. Best potstickers I have had in long time.

I'm calling you guys out, find a place that serves bolut in tulsa and I'll buy.

I finally tried Joe Momma's after the Ryan Adams show.  That's a cool layout and the food was pretty good.  We'll go back.  What a good thing for downtown!

I was also out and about in south Tulsa Saturday  . . . we tried Oliveto at 91st and Memorial.  Not bad for what it is.

Had 2 craker crust pizzas from Leon's Saturday = GREAT!
Had chicken at Jim's Friday = GREAT!
Had several items at Fuji on Brookside on Thurs...not great.

it is called balut and I don't think health dept would allow that here.  why not just go eat an aborted human fetus..about the same thing.  You'd have an easier time finding Trung Vit Lon, maybe if you asked on the down low at one of the seedier viet places in town....but I'll be sticking to higher class fare.

As if he was serious, inteller. Sheesh...buy a sense of humor, would ya.

And why would one have an easier time finding Trung Vit Lon over Balut? Same thing.

My wife and I ate at Hibiscus Caribbean restaurant on Brookside.

The menu is basically three things:
Jerk
Jamaican Curry (not exactly what you think of as Curry)
and OTHER.  

Chicken and seafood dominate the menu, but there are some beef and I believe pork products on there to.  The menu is reasonably sized, 10-15 main entrees to choose from and 5 or so sides (including the mundane, rice, to more interesting, fried plantain bananas).  They also have a full bar and a decent selection of bottled beer.

The staff was very friendly, giving a relaxed atmosphere while still being professional.  So much so that I mistook the bar tender for the owner (most bar tenders don't take the care to occasional ask a customer how things are at random). The actual owner, as it turns out, was there sporting some wicked dreadlocks but I didn't have a chance to talk to him.

The place was very steady on a Saturday night and our server told us in general they have been very busy on Friday and Saturday.  Live music many nights of the week and we left just as a band was setting up.  Decoration wise it has a variety of warm colors, somewhat dimly lit, a sleek bar and seating, with original artwork on the walls (as it turns out painted by an acquaintance of my wife who has previously hung work in our house!).  

Prices are reasonable.  A import beer was $4, a mixed drink with 3 different liquors was $8, appetizers ~$10, and meals from $10-25 if my memory serves me right.  I had 1/2 of a whole jerk chicken and my wife had jerk shrimp ("that shrimp's a jerk"), I had a couple red stripes and she had a mixed drink.  The bill was under $50 before the tip.

Definitely a good place for a night out.  As with most decent or above restaurants I'd leave the kids at home since they might not appreciate the interesting dishes and in the small space (maybe 15 tables) they could ruin it for other diners.  A interesting addition to the Tulsa restaurant scene.

I tried Ella's Deli on 11th, across from TU, last week for take-out.
I wanted to really like it, because I know they are a small family business and need it to be a success.

But it was hard to feel good about paying $8 for a "deli" sandwich that had less than 2 ounces of meat on it.  And even though I think I was the only customer they had for over an hour and 3 people worked on my order, they still didn't manage to make the one dinky change to the actual sandwich I requested - changing the cheese from one kind to another.

The bread was fresh.  The people were nice and obviously glad that I came in.  They have free wi-fi, and the place is clean and cute, if a little over-done for my taste.

Ella's Deli
