The restaurant will be S&B’s third in less than three years of operation. The original is at 5929 N. May, and a Midtown location opened last year at 20 N.W. Ninth. Neel said a fourth location in Norman is in the works for later this year or early 2013. In conjunction with the 7745 S. […]

Raw diet
But, there’s not much to style if there’s no substance behind it, and In the Raw has plenty of that to back it up. The Bricktown eatery has sister locations in Tulsa and Norman, all of which got new owners in January, but this locale might be the most special, in more ways than one. […]

Trawlin’ for N’awlins
WHAT WORKS: Style and substance both count. There’s no froufrou food from a Cajun finishing school here. WHAT NEEDS WORK: The place is a little off the beaten path, quite hidden off N.W. 63rd St. THE TIP: This is casual, no-frills stuff. No other city is quite like New Orleans, with its cobbled streets and […]

THE TIP: Go with an open mind, and just maybe you’ll find something you never thought you’d love (like sea urchin!). Our server was sporting suspenders — […]

Night owls

Breakfast is how many hours away? Usually, late-night hunger calls for a spin through the Taco Bell drivethru (Mexican pizza, hold the beef, […]

Head West
Foodies had their eyes on the construction under way next to the N. Western Avenue Hideaway for months. Slowly, the old Iguana location transformed into a modern building surrounded by a chic, low-walled wood patio. For sibling co-owners Rick and David Haynes, the journey from concept to opening night was even longer. Their latest venture, […]
