Credit: Mark Hancock There’s no easy way to describe Foodies. I’m talking about the Asian-American diner in Midtown, not people who are persnickety about food. Foodies is a tiny eatery that probably seats 20, if everyone packs in. It’s in a building that was formerly a gyro shop and a purveyor of Jamaican food, among […]

Pho-nomenal
By: Mark Hancock Wonderful things happen when you’re not quite sure what’s happening. I think it’s fair to say there is a bit of a language barrier at some local restaurants. It is something to be expected when sampling the cuisine of foreign lands, especially at restaurants noted for authentic flavors. Sometimes foreign accents come […]

Faves you crave
You knew it wasn’t going to be good when you ordered. You knew it wasn’t going to be good when you started shoveling it in your mouth. And you’ll remember how bad it was when you’re awake in the middle of the night with an intense need to visit the bathroom. Fast-food is the worst. […]

Shell game
And how many of those fancy foods do you actually want to eat? Because while caviar and pâté sound quite hoity-toity, the hoi polloi are often less excited when they’re served fish eggs and mashed goose liver. Steak can be fancy, but you can also get it at Denny’s. But lobster? Lobster is fancy. If […]

Presto Pranzo!
Credit: Shannon Cornman Seriously, is there anything more uncomfortable than feeling like you don’t fit in? If you’re anything like me, you might have a few issues with the way you look, even if others don’t. And sitting in an overly ornate dining room where everything is crisp and just-so can feel stifling. Who can […]

Burgers in HD
If you look on a map, El Reno is so close. It’s just right there. But while a 30-minute drive from my house might not seem like much, when you consider how long it takes to wrangle my kid and deal with traffic, it becomes almost insurmountable. Which is why I’m glad our neighbors to […]

Field of kitchens
You’re hungry for a win, sure, but you’re even hungrier for some food. Luckily, Oklahomans have plenty of passion for their teams and restaurant owners are no exception. That’s why you can sate your ravenous hunger and support your college team of choice at places like Hideaway Pizza (several metro locations). Founded in 1957, Hideaway […]

Nhinja star
There’s just something happy about Nhinja Sushi & Wok. Maybe it’s the way the colors of the employees’ T-shirts pop against the clean, white space inside. Maybe it’s the modern design that puts soy sauce, Sriracha and Chinese mustard on display. In my case, it was the look of joy on my toddler’s face as […]

French bread
Say what you will about the French. No, seriously, just go ahead and say it. Get it out of your system. Are you done? Good. Because while I will let you defame the entire nation, I will not hear a word about their food, unless that word is “More?” And at La Baguette Bistro, Oklahoma […]
