The Bull in the Alley, aka The Lounge, is the best steakhouse in Tulsa, bar none.

But beyond the service was the food. Oh my. The steak, cooked French style with the clarified butter drizzled, nay, dripping from all sides of the beautifully prepared porterhouse. Cooked to perfection and exactly as we ordered it. </span></div><div><font face="Helvetica"><br></font></div><div><img id="id_91f4_fd1a_b0c4_4da" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCb_fsCdaYlJhFXmmPDOnKERtbkOEmtGrl-Ma0wqKhW_z14sMFwGXusr16dXrgKVQfotuiNU3bg_iffhdeWQP-MDiCAypZa-9mBcVo_J4Hip-d6Zcw2Leh4ok94utOeD8A5HDxAJC3TIA/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 392px; height: auto;"><br><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The appetizers were delish too.

Add chopped or minced garlic to pan with onion and sauté together for another 10 min or so. Add in previously sautéed mushrooms. This is where you add your spices. Rough chop cauliflower until rice-like size OR just break apart cauliflower and toss into food processor, pulse a few times until it looks like rice. Put the “riced” cauliflower into the pan with onions, garlic and mushrooms. Toss around and add tomato paste. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and add to vitamix blender or food processor.

I turn the pan to medium when I add the garlic so it doesn’t burn and taste nasty. Be sure to dissipate the watery juice from the tomato purée...this will allow the cauliflower to cook to a riced texture and flavor. </div> TrueFoodieSoundBiteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08046913706114272788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094584241462576963.post-50953364711000728102017-03-14T20:30:00.000-05:002017-03-14T20:58:33.420-05:00Roppongi Ramen Noodles and more...this isn't your kids' ramen.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't even know where to begin. I've always thought when people use the phrase "it's life changing" to describe how a dish has affected them was, well... dumb. That is until I tried the ramen noodle dish at Roppongi on 6th and Boston.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> So I'm always looking for a good place on which to write a good review. This place had been opened for about eight months or more, and Libby Billings (owner of Roppongi, Elote, and The Vault) is the one that made this foodie dream a reality. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I first learned of these ramen noodle restaurants popping up in the U.S. from one of my favorite chefs, David Chang. He did a segment on Chef's Table about ramen noodles and took us on a tour of various ramen noodle restaurants, even showing us how to properly eat a bowl of ramen (use your chopsticks to basically inhale it). This is when I realized the ramen noodles he was chowing down was not what we get from the super market...FAR, FAR from that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Since then, I've been enticed to try but, like most trends and cool stuff, it was really only a coastal thing from LA to NYC. Recently, we had a couple of "chain" ramen places open up in Tulsa but I'm not really into chains (I'll make a few exceptions). I just didn't want a chain to ruin what I know would be a great experience coming from a locally owned place. I guess mother earth foodie heard my wishes because Roppongi opened in downtown Tulsa, thanks again Libby, you're my my foodie godmother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Below, you see before you, the Pork Ramen. The description of this dish on the menu, merely describes the dish as "shoyu broth, all natural pork belly, marinated shiitake mushroom, soft-cooked free-range egg, scallion". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Lawdy, do they leave out what you can CLEARLY see. Now, my description: "Perfectly balanced and flavorful broth with savory, tender pork belly that falls to pieces when you attempt to eat it due to extreme tenderness, with marinated shiitake mushrooms that tastes of salty-sweet and lemon-grassyness as it touches your taste buds. Oh and delectable soft-cooked free-range eggs that ooze all over your dish with silky cheese-like yolky-goodness, with added freshness from the scallions and, lest we not forget those noodles. OMG, those noodles...they're thick and fresh, tasting like someone just made them that day. Savory, dense and eggy umami-ness that add the chewing component of the dish. Every ingredient melds together like the best savory, buttery (from the fatty, roasted pork belly), rich yet fresh dish you've ever had. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Paddy's Irish Restaurant & Pub has reopened in South Tulsa. I visited the former location prior to it's closing but just for drinks and fun. This time, I decided to try the food. I love Irish cuisine so I was pretty excited.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> My friend and I visited during lunch time. It was REALLY slow, which is concerning because it had been opened for 7 to 8 months when we went. I hate to see restaurants so slow during lunch time when it should be hoppin'. I will say, it was a bit gloomy and the server was less than friendly. I wish restaurant owners would pay attention to the details that are a piece of what makes or breaks a restaurant. First impressions, definitely important. The server wasn't rude but just not what you expect when you choose to dine at their restaurant. They should be friendly...we do, after all, have other choices.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I ordered the Bangers & Mash and my friend Mary Anne ordered the Traditional Shepard's Pie. Technically speaking, Shepard's pie is made with minced lamb meat, Cottage Pie is made with minced beef. But I digress...so, about the food.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I like the way Paddy's serves up their food with traditional Irish food in mind but with a modern twist. The Shepard's Pie looked more like a deconstructed version. My friend gave me a bit and I liked it. It had flavor, and the mashed potatoes were really light and fluffy, not heavy or filling. The vegetables were served on the side rather than mixed in with the meat and gravy. I think the portions were spot on, not too much. People that complain about portion size need to stick to buffets. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Next is the food I ordered, which was the Bangers & Mash. Okay, again with the portion size and flavor, really good. Even though I don't feel like the "bangers" were traditional Irish made sausages. They tasted like something I could go and buy at the local grocers. It was a bit greasy...traditional Irish bangers are a bit beefy-er and not as greasy. But that's my only complaint. The potatoes were light and the veggies balanced out the down side of the sausages. Oh and again, portions were spot on. In fact, I couldn't finish mine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Over all, the food was very good. Kudos to the chef. Although the service wasn't terrible, it does need improvement. Managers need to look into training their servers and employees better on greeting customers and taking good care of us by starting off with a friendly greeting and good customer service. A patron shouldn't feel like they're ruining their day by visiting and bringing in business to their restaurant. Food, I give 3.5 to 4 stars, service 2 to 2.5</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hapa Japanese Cuisine is a gift for the people of Owasso. Remember that rule I have about what determines the authenticity of ethnic restaurants? Okay, it's been a while since I've blogged but my rule is, if there are people in the restaurant of the same ethnicity as the food, it's authentic.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I started with the Beef Carpaccio...I know you can practically taste the goodness you see before you but the truth is, words and photos can not even begin to describe the flavors that came from this dish. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is just writing about it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The atmosphere was relaxing, music was classic American Standard (who doesn't like Sinatra, Holiday and Martin over a nice meal?). The food is seriously authentic, and fresh. What I adore most about Hapa Japanese Cuisine is how Chef Tanaka gets it. They don't try to be something they're not. They're true to the cuisine but it's like they chose the BEST of Japanese food and put it on their menu. I feel like they offer way more REAL options on their menu than most sushi places in Tulsa without the fluff.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The Salvation Army works around the clock, especially during the holidays. Local restaurants have been donating lunches for the volunteers who are hard at work helping our local communities. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> We recently had a local restaurant who was not able to keep their commitment to help out tomorrow. Here is a special request and time is of the essence. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>WHAT:</b> Lunch donated for 75 Salvation Army workers & volunteers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>WHO:</b> Provided BY local restaurants FOR 75 Salvation Army</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">workers and volunteers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>WHEN:</b> TOMORROW, Monday, December 19th</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> We realize this is extremely short notice but as we stated above, a local restaurant who had committed to help has backed out. The Salvation Army has workers and volunteers who literally are working long hours around the clock trying to help out our local citizens who rely on help and assistance. If you can donate at least a few lunches and we will try to gather the necessary 75 lunches without adding too much stress to those contributing. Please message me: truefoodiesoundbites@gmail.com</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Thank you all for your consideration. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> So, I got a call the other day<span style="font-size: small;"> f<span style="font-size: small;">rom a colleague. She said, "Do you think you can come to this h<span style="font-size: small;">o<span style="font-size: small;">spital to do a review<span style="font-size: small;"> on the food?<span style="font-size: small;">" Wait, what? I think my silence lead her to her next sentence whi<span style="font-size: small;">ch was "w<span style="font-size: small;">ait, you know that soup, it's Vietnamese...pho?" Okay, yes, but in a ho<span style="font-size: small;">spital<span style="font-size: small;">?</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

Oka<span style="font-size: small;">y I said, this <span style="font-size: small;">I have to try.<span style="font-size: small;"> And I wa<span style="font-size: small;">s pleasantly surprised and happy I did because it restored my faith in the passion chefs have and the degree they're willing to go to to provide GOOD hospital food and what patients are being fed over<span style="font-size: small;"> all </span>as well.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

He didn't use the classic recipe, mainl<span style="font-size: small;">y <span style="font-size: small;">because <span style="font-size: small;">the food has to be low sodium and <span style="font-size: small;">he doesn't have the lu<span style="font-size: small;">xury of t<span style="font-size: small;">he time it takes</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> to bring out the flavors...so he figured<span style="font-size: small;"> out how to bring out the flavors as close <span style="font-size: small;">as possible to<span style="font-size: small;"> the real deal, while making it appealing to the <span style="font-size: small;">fo<span style="font-size: small;">lks in <span style="font-size: small;">Wagoner County.</span></span></span></span></span></span> Not <span style="font-size: small;">to say Wa<span style="font-size: small;">goner peeps don't have taste, but <span style="font-size: small;">pho is an acquired taste and I haven't seen any <span style="font-size: small;">Vietnamese re<span style="font-size: small;">staurants in Wa<span style="font-size: small;">goner as of late.</span></span></span></span></span></span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So my daughter has been telling me I need to check this place out. She's been to another German restaurant located further south, but she insisted this place was the real deal. So I decided to visit for lunch. The service was fast and extremely friendly. The food, was rich and delicious. I had the spaetzle and the wiener schnitzel with sauerkraut and housemade warm potato salad...well, it's all housemade. My guest had the goulash. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Leena's Mediterranean Grill...super fast, super friendly, super good. No, super good doesn't begin to do this little clean, fast eatery justice.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Tulsa is seriously getting some of the best little eateries from here to the coastal areas. What I liked about Leena's...it's large, it's like a fast food place but it's super clean and the food is fresh. Yes, fresh. Can ya dig it? I know I can, and bury it into my mouth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> From the hummus and deep fried cauliflower (yeah I said deep fried, what of it?!), to the fresh cucumber salad and UH-MAY-zing falafel wraps. It's delish. No really, it's like upscale fresh Mediterranean but you order it like fast food, you get it like fast food and you eat it like, well, you get the point. Actually, I didn't eat it like fast food. I did take away, but I ate it at my desk like I would an upscale meal in a snooty restaurant...savoring each morsel and bite.</span><br />

Their signature dish was this brown rice with onion and lots of butter. Good Lord was it good!! Today I met a dear friend for lunch and I opted for the Salmon Salad...a healthy signature dish.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I wasn't sure how this would taste, as I've had salmon salads with an Asian influence at other places and often they disappoint with a dry salmon. Not this place...that beautiful glistening you see from the salmon glaze was found inside only it wasn't the glaze but the juices of the salmon. So good. The bow tie pasta, strawberries and spinach just tied in all together beautifully. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Of course, I couldn't stop there. Nope. I had to have the lemon cream pie. OMG, homemade and delish. Creamy and tart at the same time. Don't you just love it? The pie crust needed some salt to help balance the sweetness of the pie, but other than that, it was scrumptious. I can't wait to go back for dinner soon!! </span><br />

True, deep flavors of India. They say you eat with your eyes first and it has never been more true than at this place...you can see the depth of flavor in all the food being served.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I've been to several Indian Food restaurants in Tulsa and I have to say, they're all pretty good. What made this place unique is the buffet carried the typical favorites of Indian cuisine, but also offered some healthier options not often seen on an Indian food buffet. While the food was both comfort and healthy, it was all LOADED with deep flavors. The kind of flavors you only get from cooking food for long periods of time. You know, the kind of food that takes hours to cook? Yeah, mmm, that kind. So good and full of deep, exquisite flavors. Bon appetit!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Seriously good eats. My favorite dishes to eat at Vietnamese restaurants are traditional Pho with all the meat and fixin's you can get or the Bun Cha Gio. It has the fresh and light noodles, with a sliced up crispy spring roll, carrots, cucumber, scallions and the meats of your choices. Oh, and the citric sweet sauce. You just drizzle that sauce all over and mix the dish all up. It has the perfect balance of crispy comfort food, with fresh crisp veggies and sweet noodles. This is such a must try dish. As you can see from the photos, they don't mess around. The dish is prepared to perfection from the noodles, to the proteins and the beautiful crisp, clean sauce. Such a party-in-my-mouth foodporn kind of yum. </span></div>

You can tell people working there enjoyed what they do...which is making great food and providing awesome service.

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<b><i>Just add everything to your liking. I made it by adding the following amounts/measurements:</i></b><br />
1 pound of ground turkey<br />
1 tbsp tamarind soy sauce<br />
1 tbsp sesame oil<br />
1 1/2 tbsp sriracha (add more or less according to the level of heat you desire)<br />
1 squeezes of fresh lime juice (less than half a lime)<br />
dash of salt, dash of pepper<br />
1 egg<br />
1 tbsp honey<br />
1/2 chopped scallion<br />
2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced<br />
1/8 cup chopped cilantro<br />
Mix it all up and with a spoon, drop into hot pan with olive oil (I used melted bacon fat) and lightly tap the tops of the turkey mixture so it spreads out to the size of patty you want. I cooked it over medium low heat. When all is cooked, serve over mixed greens, spinach, kale, whatever greens you like.<br />
Tip: Turn the pan heat down to low, add a drizzle of water to the pan that you cooked the turkey patties in and de-glaze the drippings aka fond and use as a dressing and drizzle it over the Asian turkey burger salad.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Our company catered this food in and the moment I heard where the food was from I was a little disappointed. The food is not bad, it's just really, REALLY bland. The fried rice is dry and lacks seasoning. The Hot and Sour soup was okay at best. A bit greasy and while it did have the right amount of "heat" it was still a bit bland. I recommend this place if the weather is icy or bad and you live or work close by as it is not completely terrible.</span><br />

But, this place was different! Akira Sushi in Owasso rivals the best sushi places in Tulsa and larger cities. The food is fresh, the raw fish, amazing and full of flavor. The rolls were perfect, the salad fresh and vibrant. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The service also rivals that of the best restaurants in Tulsa. Greeted and seated quickly by friendly hostesses and our servers were confident and to the point, with a smile. Now that's what I call a two thumbs up kind of restaurant. This is the kind of place that makes me think Owasso would be a great place to live :-) </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">あなたの健康に!(</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">Anata no kenkō ni! or To your health!)</span><br />
