The wife and I enjoyed Doe's. I know some of you have ill feelings towards the owner and honestly, his advertising sucks, but the T-bone and Rib-eyes were great and the service good.

Doe's blows.

Conan's poolside grill and BBQ near 15th & Harvard is where it's at.  Invitation-only, keeps out the FOTD's of the world

FYI,

If anyone wants to try a new cut of beef they've not tried before, ask Duke @ Harvard Meats for a Hanging Tender.  It's a butcher's choice and hard to find.  Unique flavor, similar to a filet texture.

I'm a big fan of Doe's.  Skip can rub me the wrong way, but I think he means well.  It's got this combination of German beer, tamales, and steak that I haven't found anywhere.  We did try to rent the place out for something and they were really weird about it . . . but that's par for the course.  The Pat Jones ad for them is craptacular.

Not a steakhouse...but In The Raw cooks an awesome filet with wasabi mashed potatoes. Yum.

OK~ They say the best steaks around are Omaha Steaks. Many restaurants in the Omaha area have them.. I don't know if they are sold in Tulsa restaurants. The Omaha Steak Company does ship steaks all over the country..[xx(]

I would rather get my beef at Perry's or at Harvard Meats.  They don't pack it in cryovaced little packages that are then frozen.  The flavor of Omaha Steaks has never stood out to me.

I've been pretty faithful to the T-bone at Brothers Houligan over the years.

Great steaks for sure.  Ever try their fried shrimp?  Best I've had anywhere.

For sure, I actually like to get both  They hit just the perfect amount of breading and texture on their fried shrimp.

Hmm, I thinking we will be having a our filet burgers tomorrow night that we got at harvrd meats, Duke assured me I'd never go back to ground beef again . . . . great!

I think Doe's is great food, but I refuse to pay good money and be treated like crap.  

I've been meaning to try the filet at ITR, I've heard raves about it and I'm not a sushi fan.

Conan - mmm, 15th & Harvard, we are there!  I guess we are almost neighbors now.

Eddies 31st and Jamestown....

Without exception the filet and lobster at In the Raw is my favorite meal in this town. . . and I have eaten lots of meals.

I agree, In the Raw actually has a really good filet.  

Also Carrabbas has an excellent filet.

Coach Slyman also made the Tabouli for Jamil's for many years.  I thought his Tabouli was some of the best.  

Speaking of Coach Slyman and that era, anyone recall Jack Purcell Blue Tip Tennis Shoes, and Fire Crackers from the Staiger's store near 51st and Yale?

I wondered if these are the same folks, called but the number is disconnected?

Staigers Hardware and Auto
50 E Buffalo St
Kellyville, OK 74039

Don't know about Staigers - but your mention of Jack Purcells brings back loads of memories. I actually bought a couple pair online this year. Great, comfy, stylish "Jacks" as we used to call them in Baltimore. Any other sneaker was called a "fish-head" (derogatory) - didn't know they even sold Jacks here in Tulsa. Talk about retro!

And back to the original thread -

I like Logans. Their big rib-eye is surprisingly good for a chain.

Still Off Topic, but to answer...

Preps wore the Blue Tips in Gym class along with a plain white T-Shirt that was marked in black ink with your last name using a stencil and white elastic waist shorts.  The bossy Phys-Ed coaches would yell at you calling you by your last name, like some military thing.



For dress many of the preps wore Cordovan Penny Loafers.  



Us rebel kids that rode Honda 90s with the mufflers removed, and used the right toe of our shoe to muffle the sound on occasion.  We were easily identified by the dark black carbon circle on our right shoe from holding it against the end of the header pipe which terminated below the foot peg.  .  And the tale tale rubber mark from the sifter on our left shoe.  


Most of those types of clothes came from Renbergs, or Orbachs in Utica Square.

 

If you watch the movie "The Outsiders" which was filmed in Tulsa, you will pick up on the beige colored Levi Brand  Wheat Jeans, and Penny Loafers on the prep boys.  They were worn tight down to the ankle only stopped about 2 to 3 inches high.  Also known as high-waters later in time.

Preps and the Greasers apparel style.  


After school the rebel kids kicked off their penny loafers and wheat jeans and changed into a T-Shirt, and Levi Blue Jeans also called dungarees.  Lots of parents hated dungarees for some reason, and we were not allowed inside their house or to run around with their kids if we got caught wearing them.  

Flat Top, Crew Cut or Burr was the hair-style.  Rebels on the south side wore their hair longer, while many of the north side greasers had longer hair, but kept it combed and plastered down.  Was not too much later when long hair became the staple for the Hippie movement and kids began wearing longer hair. School authorities hated long hair on boys then for some reason.
