I think McGills may have escargot, seems like I had it there years ago.  White River is the only place I've had frog's legs in Tulsa and I recall they were fried.  Not sure if you can get them broiled or baked.  There is an Asian place down in Shawnee my in-laws like that has legs which haven't been fried.  At least I hope they were frog legs and not something out of the rodent species.

The better legs I have had still were connected and easily identified.  And that kind of gets to the crux of it - if they taste like they should, one could tell the difference.  If not, then that is the wrong place anyway.

Do you know the name of the Shawnee place?  I could detour there - short side trip.

Would also be great if could get them not frozen, but the ones I see in Crest are from China, so I know that ain't gonna happen....

FAIK, White River sells them from their meat counter.  I had no idea Crest sells them.  Never saw them there.

Yes. White River sells them from the counter. They also sell turtle meat.

Yum!

The new Crest in Norman down on the curly mile (24th street).  

I was just wandering around there one day looking at stuff and they have a wall of dried items...fruit, veggies, etc.  They had fodder beans!!  There was an attendant....who asked me if I wanted a sample.  Yes, please.  First time in decades that I have had some and I had forgotten how really great they are, even just by themselves!!  So, now, I am gonna grow some green beans in the back yard and get back to the basics.

They are also great to rehydrate and cook into stews, soups, etc....


Fodder beans;

Bucket (bushel?) of FRESH green beans - best if grow your own.
Dissolve 1 cup of salt in a couple gallons water (brine is flavor and preservative).
Soak beans for a half hour or so...

Get a needle and thread (heavy enough to hold as many as you string) and string the beans at the end on the string.  Hang in a quiet, dry place until they are dried out - days to weeks, depending.  Don't use a dehydrator - it "cooks" the beans too much.  Save in air tight containers.  Use for soups.  Yum!!

Also called leather britches....

You are more forgiving than I am.  One or two visits of "meh" and I don't return.  Too many other great places to try or continue to support.  I'm glad to hear the product improved.

Couple of items there.

First, the primary investors are good friends and I try to support friends along with giving them honest feedback.  Second, when you live a mile north of the place driving to Utica Sq for Flemings or 71st & Hell for Mahogany is a chore.  Third, and most importantly, the out of town guests had heard good things and wanted to try it.  They were paying, so who was I to turn down a free steak and a couple scotches?

Good reasons.  Also good on you for giving the investors honest feedback instead of telling them what you think they would like to hear.

Anyone know how I can get ahold of the folks with 624 catering.  I sent a message over the weekend via their website inquiring about having a small fundraising event for the Tulsa Art Deco Museum there later this summer, but haven't heard back and need to make a decision pronto.  Their space would be great because it's Art Deco and have gotten quotes from other places that would be my second pick but will have to go with those if I don't hear from 624.
