Cattlemen’s Steakhouse in OKC is the oldest restaurant in Oklahoma. You can’t go wrong with dry-aged, hand cut steaks, and lamb fries. Yes, lamb fries. When I began this blog 3 1/2 years ago, I was such a creature of habit. I ate at the same restaurants, always ordered my favorite dishes, and cooked the …
As the sister restaurant to Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse, it’s no surprise that Del Frisco’s Grille takes food and atmosphere up several notches from your regular casual dining restaurant.
Last week I had lunch with a donor couple in Stillwater. They had originally recommended Panera Bread, but that’s just kind of boring for me. So I tossed out a number of other recommendations, and they came back with The Rancher’s Club. I haven’t been there in forever, so I agreed. I honestly never remember …
Last weekend, OSU was one of the host sites for the NCAA baseball regionals. The other teams in the bracket were Arkansas, Oral Roberts, and St. John’s. I volunteered at the media/staff hospitality tent on Friday, but the rest of the weekend I was a fan. We won our game Friday night, so we weren’t …
Last Saturday I went to a wedding in Oklahoma City. My co-worker Tia said “I do” with her soul mate Chico. The weather didn’t really cooperate, but I’ve heard that a rainy wedding day is a good sign. It didn’t rain during the ceremony, but the skies opened up during the reception. Our cell phones …
If there’s one thing that Joni and I do well, it’s eat. And drink wine. We discussed options of places to eat dinner, and I looked at restaurant.com, but nothing jumped out at us. Joni suggested The Classic Café. She said they usually go there as a special-occasion dinner, but since we hadn’t seen each other …
One of our club seat holders had been trying for about 2 years to get me to come to Tulsa for dinner. No, nothing inappropriate or anything like that. It was to join him and his wife, along with the Merrifields, who owns Polo Grill. I always planned to, but life just got in the way. …
I’ve gone through lots of phases of New Year’s Eve in my life. As a young kid, my parents’ best friends had NYE parties, and it was the one night of the year we were allowed to stay up that late. Prince’s “1999” was released when we were in 7th grade, and we all said …
I’ve been horrible about updating this blog lately, so it’s my mission to fix that and post at least once a week. And of course since it’s been about 3 weeks I have to post even more often to catch up. So to continue my spring break funtivities trip to Dallas, the plan was for …
During Coach Friedgen’s early years at Maryland, we hosted the Ralph Friedgen Invitational golf tournament in the summer. The first 2 years were at Ford’s Colony. Rick Ford, a major Terps supporter, owned this amazing gated community. Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago, but I’m sure his family is running Ford’s Colony with the same …
