Salad Alley

Visited Salad Alley today.  Wasn't overwhelmed with the place.  It's good but its still a salad bar.

However, the owner is an interesting cat.

I think he marches to the beat of his own Jack-in-the-box

I roll mine in black sesame seeds and grill it for about 1 min per side over hickory.

D&mn ! Thats what I did wrong with those Tuna fillet's that our butcher had me try. Like a putz I just put them in foil with butter and spices and cooked them on the grill like regular meat. they tasted like crap and I never bought them again. I need to try what you guy's do. Maybe I might have another dish to cook.

It took me a long time to understand that, but fish needs very little cooking time.  If it feels squeaky on your teeth, you cooked it way too long.  It only took me 40 years to come to that conclusion.

You do!  That's a horrible way to cook tuna.  Tuna has no fat so if you over cook it, it will taste like the surf out of the can.

Salmon is good the same way, except swap out the sesame seeds with crushed pecans!

Jason's Deli?  Drawing a blank on any locally owned establishments.

I too have been wanting a place like this closer to midtown/downtown. The salad joint that closed at 51st and Memorial was pretty mediocre, but it still beat driving all the way out to far south Tulsa.

Plus I used to like to go there Sunday evenings. But I think this Salad Alley place follows Oklahoma Jeebus regulations and has little to no Sunday hours (11-2?).

Jason's deli always seemed a little weird. Not user friendly and no workers seem to care to help you figure out what  you're supposed to be doing. So I stand there like a moron trying to understand the ordering/eating process.

Jasons deli workers are to stoned to care to help, the ones I meet anyway.

A fresh tuna steak cooked very rare is hard to tell from a beef fillet if you keep your eyes closed!

I sear a tuna steak in salt and pepper in a hot skillet (rare to medium rare, deglaze with a splash of soy) and then add cheese and eat it like a burger with bread, lettuce, tomato, onion mustard..burger fixins. It's juicy and delicious and much better for you than a burger.

How thick a cut?

Sounds good.  Have you had the fish burger at Brewburger?

It's fantastic.

What type of cheese?

What type of cheese?

Whatever you prefer, I like provolone which is mild and doesn't over power the tuna.
