Donde Estan Tapas....?

[RadicalModerate]

I know that Bolero (in Bricktown?) is known for it's tapas . . . But wasn't there a place called something like "Tom and Jerry's" that was pioneering the concept in this area?

Can anyone give me any input--or feedback--on this?

El restaurante, "Tom and Jerry's," ya no existe.

Que lastima . . . =(

Kamp's 1910 has what they are calling Tapas in their Vineyard -- They are not the traditional Spanish style/ingredients -- just small bites of various things or meat & cheeses. I haven't been yet, but I'm looking forward to trying them.

Thank you, tburn.

If I'm not mistaken . . . aren't those referred to as "samples" . . . "appetizers" . . . (and/or) "canapés"? =)
Not that it really "matters" . . .

In any case, thanks (again) for the suggestion.
I watched a show on "Create" not all that long ago, hosted by an authentic (e)spanish chef, and was "wowed" by the entire "Tapas" concept.

Even if it is pretty much like a buffet/smorgassbord served at your table.

What they did on the show with those elusive "Pequin" peppers looked extra good.

Kamps 1910 is on my to-do list.
Thanks, again.
(Muchas Gracias, De Veras/Mierda No).

UrbanSpoon has a few recommendations... http://www.urbanspoon.com/f/46/37605...as-Restaurants

I can't add much else. The only time I tried Tapas was at Bolero (2x) and it was terrible both times.

Thank you, BBatesokc (a.k.a. Amigo de los Restaurantes y Comida Exceptionale(s)* =).
Especially for the [subliminal/indirect] {warning} about "Bolero". (The Parking . . . Oy Vey!)
I recently read a review of that "fine" establishment in which one could tell that the reviewer was straining really hard to be tactful.

Based upon your personal review of the Signature Grill Experience, I trust that your "opinion"/(okay"paradigm" =) in regard to these matters is fairly close to matching mine in terms of the cost/value relationship of paying for what hits the plate in terms of DIY [as compared to] "Dining Out" . . . )

I have a couple of grandchildren in Dallas I visit so I can recommend Cafe Madrid on Knox-Henderson if you make it down south. It is simply fantastic (in my opinion.)

[RadicalModerate]

Thank You, Sincerely, clz46 . . . For your suggestion.

The possibility exists that we might make a trip to Dallas . . .
Sometime in the future . . .

I like the fact that--even semi-deep in the heart of Texas (like Dallas?)--the owners of the restaurant decided to differentiate between "[Tex/Okie]-Mex" and Madrid.

"Tapas"--at least according to that show on AltPBS--are not afterthoughts.

Thank You, Again.

you might try the small plates at Saint's. It is definately an irish/spanish fusion kind of thing, they have great little plates.

Spanish/Irish Fusion Cuisine . . . I like it. In fact, I'm under the impression that there actually was some sort of historical connection between Ireland and Spain. Didn't Ireland even have a leader at one time whose last name was de Valera? In any case, thanks for the tip, EBAH.

Last night we watched "Globe Trekker" and the hostess was travelling around Catalonia . . . specifically Barcelona. Of course, tapas were mentioned several times. They went to one place where all of the tapas were offal. Yes, "offal" (probably also, awful): Made with things like ears, snouts, tails and various innards. (Sort of like a hot dog factory without the casings or the finely processed "meat by-products." These meat by-products were chunky.) I suppose that--except for the lack of thistles, tatties, neaps and oatmeal--one might call this "Scottish/Spanish" fusion cuisine.

I think the owner's name might have been McSanchez. (Which, if you think about it, is no more odd than going to a place called "McSalty's" for calzone.)

Again, thanks for the tip.
