Custino's

[MonkeesFan]

I can't speak for "the new" Custino's but I can say that when I drove by "the other" Custino's on Britton Rd. city crews were out there digging a big hole in the adjacent pavement, thereby snarling traffic and causing momentary, passing distress. I'm not sure if they were doing the prep for sewer/burial repair or exhumation work . . .

Interesting

I heard they were looking for migrating Crossroads Mall zombies.

Drove by the Custinos on Britton this evening on the way to Sean Cummings Pub (for an excellent meal: Boxty w/Salmon) and my wife said something like, "Hey! There's a new Custino's!" I mumbled something like . . . "Nah, it's the other Custinos . . ." The "other Custinos" also looked closed at around 6:00 pm. Is it vampyres or zombies that don't like clocks or light or whatever?

Good grief, more drama.
It looks like they were forced to give up their name…
That had to cost them money.

The secret is out! We are now officially open as the Taste Bud's Diner! Thanks, @OKCFOX!

May have been a voluntary name change. There is nothing new listed on the court docket since last September. Either way, best of luck to both groups.
I rarely dine north of I-44 , but hey, the northsiders need their grub too.

I would strongly suspect the name change is a direct result of the legal battle that has been occurring between the 2 entities.

Since these things cost money and at least on this issue, and until I hear otherwise, I am going to lean on the side that says the original owners lost the name battle.
Now who won the war I haven’t heard?
Has the court war even been decide yet?

Custinos on May Ave deleted they facebook page. Don't know what it means

[boscorama]

How is the other restaurant, on Britton, doing? Still there? Anybody know?

[Tydude]

the one on Britton is still open

There is a comment about the closure of the eatery on May Street over on the Bud Elder FB site for Custino's Italian Kitchen.

.. we say goodbye to the restaurant known as Custino's Restaurant and Bar, which leaves this market exactly as I said it would ...

Much like an old ginsu knife commercial ... there's more. View, or not, as one elects at https://www.facebook.com/Custinos

Yay!

Everytime I drive by the location on Britton Rd., west of May AVENUE =), there are exactly two pickup trucks in the parking lot. The same two trucks. They must like the food a lot. Well . . . Not the trucks but . . .

I knew it would not last long

[SoonerDave]

Just a sordid, ugly mess all around.

[SoonerQueen]

Sorry to say this but the drama between the two restaurants keeps me from going to either one. I do live in the area of both and the location on N May says temporarily closed due to kitchen remodel. Seems like that is the same thing the previous owner said when they went out of business. Who knows.

[Steve]

And the same was said by the tenant before that. Maybe the building requires lots of remodeling?

Seems to me you remodel a place before you start business, rather than after you have already moved in and opened up. Maybe I just do things backwards. Just sayin...

Some consider Oklahoma & Okies as backwards, so there may be some truth in it..LOL

This conversation will never occur at Custino's . . .
Vast maybe . . . But not Custino's.
It's an Okie Thang I reckon . . .

Felt like I needed to take a shower after reading that Facebook post. Whether or not Elder is right -- and that is for the court to determine -- it's not classy to stoop so low in calling out your nemesis as a "liar" in such a public forum.

A pretty good source tells me that the W. Britton Road Custino's Restaurant location will likely be closing...Don’t know when?
The newspaper gave this business plenty of free fanfare on their opening…. but it makes me think someone was doing someone favors by providing so much free publicity and now they won’t cover the ongoing details of the legal battle to any great extent. It’s like the favors have continued.

Objective jourilism would at some point provide closure to the events that surrounded this drama.

Objectionable journalism on the other hand . . . (j/k)

Oh, whatever. I've got a story being written up. There were no favors - both sides hated having me write that story. And if you're going to take a pot shot at me, have the guts to go ahead and name names. Also, dictionaries are still wonderful resources.
