- wondersofwine - 04-19-2002 Maybe WW can help out. I have TDY in Oklahoma City next week. Any restaurant recommendations? Bellini (northern Italian) Cattlemen's Steakhouse and Coach House are possibilities. I don't know how their wine lists are or prices. - Bucko - 04-19-2002 I was raised in Okrahoma City, but I haven't been back there since 1987. Cattlemen's used to be a nice place for steak and salad, but wine was in a tumbler, "Red or white honey?" - wondersofwine - 04-19-2002 That sounds about right for the Great Plains. I grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. Another restaurant listed was for crab, including Cajun crab dishes, but I prefer Maryland (or the West Coast) for crab eating. - winoweenie - 04-19-2002 Sorry WOW but I exited Okla City in the early 50s' and at the time I thot Wimpys' Burger Joint was stupendous. Lucky 'nuff to git out...jes' barely smart 'nuff to stay out. WW - hotwine - 04-19-2002 I've heard of the Cattlemen's all the way down here. If their beef is still true to form, that would be the place to go. They might even allow corkage, if you're willing to use a Dixie cup..... I was asked, "White or blush, honey?" in a club dining room tonight. Mercy. - hotwine - 04-20-2002 Wow, see http://www.accessokc.com/auto_docs/dining/13043.html for description and customer comments on Cattlemen's. Doesn't sound like a place that would even have a winelist, but the steaks should be top-notch, with the stockyards for neighbors. Other restaurants are also listed on the accessokc.com Website.

WW - Kcwhippet - 04-21-2002 Whooo. One of their recommended dishes is Lamb Fries. Thanks, but no thanks. Besides, what would be the wine paired with that? - hotwine - 04-21-2002 Probably the same thing we drink with calf fries and turkey fries - cerveza! - Bucko - 04-21-2002 I was an experimental little sh*t growing up. I had everything on their menu including lamb fries and mountain oysters. Tasty stuff. Ice tea only at that age, except when gramppa slipped me some beer.

I've heard of Rocky Mtn Oysters, but never these--am I to assume that one of these is the appendage surrounded by the two oysters? RAD - hotwine - 04-21-2002 Nope, oysters only. - wondersofwine - 04-21-2002 Thanks for the advice, all. You won't hear from me for the next week. - hotwine - 04-21-2002 Godspeed, Wow, and keep your head down. |
