They're in Deaconess Hospital...I didn't realize that they'd moved their entire business there. It's just a little booth type thing there, one small case & that's it. Quite a difference between that & an entire store.

They will be opening a store in Bricktown. . .sometime in December I believe.

more late night places, a true 24 hour local diner, the type that you can go to at 3 a.m. that can become an institution.

I figure Republic Gastropub should have fish & chips when it opens at Classen Curve.

There used to be a little restaurant in Tulsa owned by the principle chef at the former Adams Mark, Ludger Shulz. He opened it whenever the urge hit him and the menu was set for what he wanted to serve that day. It became popular with a small and very loyal group. He prepared awesome dishes at a very modest price and the experience was memorable. It may still be there, as I haven't checked it out in a long time.

I had it at lunch once and thought it was pretty good.

Menu says it is "Atlantic cod dipped in Harp lager batter" if that helps any.

Dan McGuinness is great if you like smoky rooms and loud music. they ahve live bands every night. No smoke filters and a low ceiling make for choking smoke..on the plus side, you can play trivia or poker there on buzztime and the fish & chips are great.

105 degrees is probably the most respected raw foods restaurant and school in the world.

Really? I'm not doubting you since I have no knowledge of the raw foods business, but if that's true, it seems like getting in the raw foods restaurant business would be a great idea. They've been open for about ten minutes and are suddenly the best in the world. Glad we have them I guess.

and the restaurant side is separately ventilated and away from the music

I thought the school was open longer? Maybe, the raw foods chefs are some of the best in the world?

need actual authentic asian restaurants. we have too many wannabe asian restaurants with a bunch of mexicans hiding in the kitchen secretly making all the food and an asian wait staff pretending nothing out of the norm isnt transpiring.

???? Check out Grand House on Classen...those aren't mexicans in the kitchen!

We could use an authentic Chicago deep dish pizza place like Giordanno's or Uno's.

[onthestrip]

Im with the person that mentioned another urban breakfast joint. Something similar to Denver's Snooz. I used to be a fan of Classen Grill but not much anymore. They changed their potatoes and there just isnt much variety.

I hear Humble Pie in Edmond, OK is pretty darn close to the pizza at Lou Malnati's in Chicago.

yeah ive been up and down on classen. short street..end to end on classen. sad thing was there was an awesome asian restaurant there circa 2001. it closed some time later. saddest thing that happened to that area.

yeah, theres other asian restaurants in little saigon, but why do they all have to be located in this area, and only in this area?

[jbrown84]

Ummmm, because that's where a large section of the Asian population lives...

Have you ever been to a Chinatown or Little Italy in another city? Same concept.
