<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US” lang=”EN-US”> Signs of days past, including Coca-Cola and Phillips 66, hang over Red’s Southern Diner in Edmond. It makes for a cool visual and also hints at the items on the menu. Vegetarians, be prepared. Almost everything at Red’s features chicken, although there is one beef or fish option. Served family-style, only […]

Silky smooth
The menu at Silks, Remington Park’s upscale dining option, is pretty much what you’d expect: steaks, seafood, pasta and a few sandwiches. The tablecloths are white. The servers are dressed up. But it’s the view that makes it. Sitting there, overlooking the track, turns a normal night out into an event. The races are right […]

Burger bistro
By: Mark Hancock Please, have a sit. Kaiser’s American Bistro is dropping its green chili cheeseburger. I know, I know. Just let the tears flow. Originally called the Hasta Infierno burger, the green chili cheeseburger ($8) is a magical mix of beef, chorizo sausage and jalapeños, topped with green chilies and cheese. It has a […]

Before you GoGo
In summertime, the sidewalk outside GoGo Sushi is a miniature jungle. It’s covered by a profusion of exotic tropical potted plants. Inside is a spacious dining room and long bar with stools. The theme is Asian modern, with black lacquer tables and chairs, red vinyl booths and little ceramic fish on the wall. Nestled in […]

All aboard!
Credit: Shannon Cornman I like a nice plate of pasta. Well, if I’m being honest, I love a giant bowl of pasta covered in rich, creamy sauce, topped off with meatballs or seared shrimp, or just a mountain of Parmesan cheese. Daddy needs his carbs. Which is why your mother and I want to talk […]

The whole enchilada
Credit: Mark Hancock Have you ever seen one of those nature videos where a school of piranhas attacks a cow and just strips all the flesh off in a matter of minutes? That is pretty much what it looks like when my family attacks a basket filled with freshly made tortillas. Almost every Tuesday night, […]

Name-dropping doesn’t end with these ladies: Mick Jagger and Sir Paul McCartney also have visited the restaurant. It’s a ritzy joint in a classy neighborhood. Located in the Waterford […]

Still in Saigon
Credit: Mark Hancock There’s nothing I hate more than a boring sandwich. Well, that’s not true. I hate a lot of things more, but I don’t come into contact with them nearly as often as I do boring sandwiches. Rarely, for instance, do I step inside a restaurant and witness genocide. But lots of places […]

Parrot talk
Since when do people think “authentic” means the same thing as “delicious”? I want “authentic” food to be made out of natural ingredients and not a big pile of chemicals, but other than that, who cares? Chefs change things all the time based on taste or the availability of ingredients, or just because. So what […]
