Tasha likes to play it old school and says that the line is I-44. But, as someone who lives out south and sees the tremendous growth that is happening there, I believe that the old established line of 51st Street has recently and clearly moved to 71st Street.<br /><br />Clearly.<br /><br /><a name=\'more\'></a>However, I’m betting there are many readers out there who strongly disagree with both of us. You see, for some Tulsa natives, there are two types of people: Midtowners and Southies. None of the members of these groups want to be categorized as members of the other, and the members of each group have their own reasons for thinking that their way of life is superior.<br /><br />For as deliberately as some people pick their spouses, some Tulsans pick their homes according to their estimation of where the imaginary boundary line lies that separates midtown from southtown.<br /><br />Tasha, technically a Southie by geography (just barely!) but a general Tulsan at heart, asked me, her token Southie friend, to help by occasionally writing about south Tulsa happenings. I am more than happy to oblige.<br /><br />Wanting to do south Tulsa and the \'burbs justice, I thought long and hard about what fun Southie happening I wanted to showcase first.<br /><br />I finally decided to head to Jenks to visit <a href=\"http://www.louiesgrillandbar.com/\">an Oklahoma-based restaurant chain, Louie’s Grill and Bar</a>.<br /><br /><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579670870/\" title=\"DSCN0142 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\"><img alt=\"DSCN0142\" height=\"400\" src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4579670870_fd45f57899_o.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></a></div><br />There,&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.liveeventtrivia.com/Welcome.html\">one of Tulsa’s own, Josh Ritchey, creator of Live Event Trivia</a>, puts on a fun evening of trivia every Wednesday night at 8pm.<br /><br />The Wednesday evening I went, I sat with a a few of the members of <a href=\"http://www.therhok.com/\">The Real Housewives of Oklahoma</a>, and we had a fantastic time. We ordered drinks and food (the margaritas were quite tasty), and settled in to destroy the packed house of trivia players that had come to play the great game of trivia that only Josh could put together.<br /><br /><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579670782/\" title=\"DSCN0166 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\"><img alt=\"DSCN0166\" height=\"400\" src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4067/4579670782_b70808a57f_o.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></a></div><br />Unfortunately, we had a small issue with saying our answers out loud - too loudly. <br /><br /><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579670812/\" title=\"DSCN0157 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\"><img alt=\"DSCN0157\" height=\"278\" src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4579670812_0e2d8ffe3b_o.jpg\" width=\"400\" /></a></div><br />Needless to say, we ended up losing to the group next to us. They were obviously cheating, riding on our lack of discretion. But, we had a good time anyway, laughing, taxing our brains with questions like \"Name the names of the members of the following bands:  N-Sync, New Kids on the Block, The Beatles and The Monkees,\" and enjoying the discussions that only well-made drinks, good company, and good trivia can bring.<br /><br /><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579670728/\" title=\"DSCN0171 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\"><img alt=\"DSCN0171\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4056/4579670728_4a864f79c7_o.jpg\" width=\"400\" /></a></div><br /><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579670848/\" title=\"DSCN0161 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\"><img alt=\"DSCN0161\" height=\"275\" src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4033/4579670848_b4e41dab7b_o.jpg\" width=\"400\" /></a></div><br />From this Southie to the rest of Tulsa, I hope to see you there next time. <br /><br /><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579041321/\" title=\"DSCN0168 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\"><img alt=\"DSCN0168\" height=\"400\" src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4071/4579041321_983e131a8d_o.jpg\" width=\"386\" /></a></div><br />Though then, I\'ll bring a muzzle for the louder singers in our group.<br /><br /><b>Live Events Trivia at Louie\'s in Jenks</b><br />When: Every Wednesday at 8pm<br />Where: Louie\'s in Jenks, 813 East A Street (96th Street Bridge, across the river)','Live Event Trivia at Louie\'s in Jenks: The Southie','','inherit','open','open','','587-revision','','','2010-05-04 23:22:00','2010-05-04 23:22:00','',587,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/05/587-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(2505,1,'2010-10-04 13:43:03','2010-10-04 18:43:03','<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSCN0168 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579041321/\"><img src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4071/4579041321_983e131a8d_o.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0168\" width=\"386\" height=\"400\" /></a></div>\r\n<em>I have some exciting news.

None of the members of these groups want to be categorized as members of the other, and the members of each group have their own reasons for thinking that their way of life is superior.\r\n\r\nFor as deliberately as some people pick their spouses, some Tulsans pick their homes according to their estimation of where the imaginary boundary line lies that separates midtown from southtown.\r\n\r\nTasha, technically a Southie by geography (just barely!) but a general Tulsan at heart, asked me, her token Southie friend, to help by occasionally writing about south Tulsa happenings. I am more than happy to oblige.\r\n\r\nWanting to do south Tulsa and the \'burbs justice, I thought long and hard about what fun Southie happening I wanted to showcase first.\r\n\r\nI finally decided to head to Jenks to visit <a href=\"http://www.louiesgrillandbar.com/\">an Oklahoma-based restaurant chain, Louie’s Grill and Bar</a>.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSCN0142 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579670870/\"><img src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4579670870_fd45f57899_o.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0142\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" /></a></div>\r\nThere, <a href=\"http://www.liveeventtrivia.com/Welcome.html\">one of Tulsa’s own, Josh Ritchey, creator of Live Event Trivia</a>, puts on a fun evening of trivia every Wednesday night at 8pm.\r\n\r\nThe Wednesday evening I went, I sat with a a few of the members of <a href=\"http://www.therhok.com/\">The Real Housewives of Oklahoma</a>, and we had a fantastic time. We ordered drinks and food (the margaritas were quite tasty), and settled in to destroy the packed house of trivia players that had come to play the great game of trivia that only Josh could put together.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSCN0166 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579670782/\"><img src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4067/4579670782_b70808a57f_o.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0166\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" /></a></div>\r\nUnfortunately, we had a small issue with saying our answers out loud - too loudly.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSCN0157 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579670812/\"><img src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4579670812_0e2d8ffe3b_o.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0157\" width=\"400\" height=\"278\" /></a></div>\r\nNeedless to say, we ended up losing to the group next to us. They were obviously cheating, riding on our lack of discretion. But, we had a good time anyway, laughing, taxing our brains with questions like \"Name the names of the members of the following bands:  N-Sync, New Kids on the Block, The Beatles and The Monkees,\" and enjoying the discussions that only well-made drinks, good company, and good trivia can bring.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSCN0171 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579670728/\"><img src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4056/4579670728_4a864f79c7_o.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0171\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" /></a></div>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSCN0161 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579670848/\"><img src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4033/4579670848_b4e41dab7b_o.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0161\" width=\"400\" height=\"275\" /></a></div>\r\nFrom this Southie to the rest of Tulsa, I hope to see you there next time.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSCN0168 by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4579041321/\"><img src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4071/4579041321_983e131a8d_o.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0168\" width=\"386\" height=\"400\" /></a></div>\r\nThough then, I\'ll bring a muzzle for the louder singers in our group.\r\n\r\n<strong>Live Events Trivia at Louie\'s in Jenks</strong>\r\nWhen: Every Wednesday at 8pm\r\nWhere: Louie\'s in Jenks, 813 East A Street (96th Street Bridge, across the river)','Live Event Trivia at Louie\'s in Jenks: The Southie','One of Tulsa’s own, Josh Ritchey, creator of Live Event Trivia, puts on a fun evening of trivia every Wednesday night at 8pm.','inherit','open','open','','587-revision-2','','','2010-10-04 13:43:03','2010-10-04 18:43:03','',587,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/10/587-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(2506,1,'2010-10-04 13:45:42','2010-10-04 18:45:42','<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"OK Country Donuts by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4575589366/\"><img src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4041/4575589366_ecd3c64af1.jpg\" alt=\"OK Country Donuts\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a></div>\nNormally not a person who goes easily into combat.

Then momma\'s gonna throw down.\n\nOf all places, though, I thought I\'d always be safe from a duel in a donut shop. They seem like such safe places. The air smells sweet, and they\'re always full of smiling faces.\n\nThat was, until Saturday morning.\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--more-->\n[adrotate group=\"2\" banner=\"8\"]</p>\n\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"OK Country Donuts by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4575589018/\"><img src=\"http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3402/4575589018_76a9f0225f.jpg\" alt=\"OK Country Donuts\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a></div>\nThat\'s when I learned how to get into not just one, but TWO fights at a donut shop.\n\n<strong>1. Show up at OK Country Donuts with a camera. Be very open and visual about the fact that you\'re snapping photos.\n</strong>\n<strong>\n</strong>\nEven in my five short years of working in journalism I\'ve dealt with my share of folks who don\'t want their photos taken (or their stuff being the subject of photos). But I don\'t think I\'ve ever been told not to take photos in a restaurant before. Most food people are proud of their work and are excited by the opportunity to break through the noise of competition and tell lots of people about what they can do by way of a photo and a write-up.\n\nThe folks at OK Country Donuts, however, don\'t feel this way.\n\nOK Country Donuts isn\'t your ordinary donut shop. They have this line of donuts that are tailored to kids and the young-at-heart. OK Country sells donuts in the shape of everything from the letter M (and the other 25 letters of the alphabet, too, by the way, making it fun to spell stuff in the best font ever - donut!) to a flip flop shoe to puppies to palm trees. And they\'re all expertly and colorfully iced. They\'re gorgeous.\n\nAnd, they\'re delicious. These are the reasons there was a line out the door when we showed up at 10:30 on Saturday morning, a time by which most donut shops are packing it up for the day.\n\nI\'d heard so much about this place from all over - Facebook, Twitter and IRL, too. I\'ve been itching to try them for some time now and couldn\'t wait to snap photos of all those cute and unique deep-fried pastries.\n\nAbout five shots in, though, an employee approached and notified me that I wasn\'t to take photos inside the store.\n\nAfter she explained why not - there were people who had stopped in the store, took photos and tried to replicate OK Country\'s specialty, according to the employee - and after I told her exactly what I was up to (read: researching for a blog post, not stealing business ideas), she decided it was cool if I took photos after all.\n\nBut when I finally made it up to the counter - you know, where the display case sat full of absolutely adorable donuts - the woman who I assume owns the place spoke up: \"Stop! No photos!\" Her voice was raised, her arms were waving and she stalked off to scold the employee with whom I just spoke in a language I couldn\'t understand.\n\nAnd even still, I can\'t figure this out. I didn\'t want to press the issue about the photos because I\'m not about to try to dictate to people what\'s going to happen in their places of business, but folks, if you own a business that creates a product that\'s unique and that\'s creating a buzz, you\'re not going to gain much from trying to hide it from people who you\'re afraid might steal it.\n\nBecause you\'re hiding it from potential customers, too, especially when you\'re talking about being featured on a blog with a proven goal of getting Tulsans off their duffs to try (and buy) the best of what this city has to offer.\n\nBesides, if anyone tries to steal your idea off a blog post, newspaper write-up or magazine feature, those people are going to look like total dirt bags. You\'re the original. Own it, baby.\n\nWhile I didn\'t get to shoot the display case, I did take a few photos the donut I used my own hard-earned money to purchase:\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"OK Country Donuts by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4574956055/\"><img src=\"http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3307/4574956055_bf0474c77a.jpg\" alt=\"OK Country Donuts\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a></div>\nAn elephant! My son\'s No. 1 favorite animal. His room is decorated in elephants - actually, someone in my family got the idea that I collect elephant stuff, so the things have cropped up all over my house.

Karma.\n\n<strong>Way No. 2 to start a fight in a donut shop: Be the guy who orders every single last puppy, flip flop, palm tree and piglet donut in the house</strong>. In other words, order all the cute donuts in shapes other than the traditional O.\n\nDude had every right to buy up all the cutesy donuts. I mean, he was next in line. Any of us in that position would have had the same option.\n\nBut I just had to have a puppy-shaped donut for my kid, <a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/03/1-2-3puppies.html\">the kid who loves anything and everything puppy</a>.\n\nSo, I edged toward the guy, put my sweet voice on and asked if he\'d mind leaving just one puppy donut so that I could buy it for my son, who\'s just over there (of course, I turned and waved - hey, if my kid can work those blond curls, then so can I, especially when a donut is involved).\n\nHe refused. He had a slumber party of girls to feed, he said.\n\nSo, as an employee notified this guy that even more cute donuts were about to come fresh out of the frier, and as he totally ignored the fact that the display case was full of traditionally shaped donuts and that none of his slumber party guests were around to throw fits in the event they didn\'t get a puppy-shaped breakfast, I asked again.\n\nHe didn\'t refuse that time. He just pretended not to hear me, staring straight ahead and smiling.\n\nSchmuck.\n\nSo, I leaned over to the next-nearest employee and stealthily ordered this:\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"OK Country Donuts by Tasha Does Tulsa, on Flickr\" href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashadoestulsa/4575589942/\"><img src=\"http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4054/4575589942_3fd700b0f8.jpg\" alt=\"OK Country Donuts\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a></div>\nRight out from under ol\' Captain Meanie Pants.\n\nAt which point he was out a piglet instead of a puppy. Karma, dude.\n\nKarma!','How to Get Into a Fight at a Donut Shop: Two Ways','Of all places, though, I thought I\'d always be safe from a duel in a donut shop.','inherit','open','open','','585-autosave','','','2010-10-04 13:45:42','2010-10-04 18:45:42','',585,'http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/10/585-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(2453,1,'2010-10-01 10:34:50','2010-10-01 15:34:50','<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2155\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=2155\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2155\" title=\"Lucky\'s\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_1314.jpg\" alt=\"Lucky\'s\" width=\"425\" height=\"640\" /></a>\r\n\r\nEvery once in a great while, my sweet husband and I, parents of a two-and-a-half-year-old and busy with the demands of owning our own business and my husband\'s full-time schedule at our local university, get to go on a date.

It was hard to stray from Eggs Poblano - which, with poblano hollandaise, marinated chicken breast, fry bread and grilled pineapple served eggs benedict-style, is my favorite thing I\'ve tried at Lucky\'s so far - but I was glad for my adventurousness.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2153\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=2153\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2153\" title=\"Lucky\'s\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_1311-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Lucky\'s\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nMy partner in all things good and rascally ordered the chicken fried steak, which came with the most perfectly cooked scrambled eggs I\'ve ever tasted.

We\'ll probably be competing against that chicken fried steak up there for the title of Most Crusty rather than chowing down on it on Sunday mornings, and that part won\'t be so cool, but we\'ll be happy.\r\n\r\nYes.

Leave the stuffiness, the little black dress under which Spanx are required and the Benjamins at home - breakfast dates are casual, cheap and so deliciously romantic that I always, always prefer them to Friday night dates.\r\n\r\nWhich brings me to <a href=\"http://www.luckysrestauranttulsa.com/\">Lucky\'s, on Cherry Street at 1536 E. 15th Street</a>. It\'s here where a couple can get the best of both worlds - a snuggly breakfast date without the greasy spoon, replaced instead with a hearty helping of class.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2147\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/10/luckys-cherry-street/dsc_1294/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2147\" title=\"Lucky\'s\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_1294-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Lucky\'s\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2146\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/10/luckys-cherry-street/dsc_1292/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2146\" title=\"Lucky\'s\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_1292-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Lucky\'s\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2151\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/10/luckys-cherry-street/dsc_1309-2/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2151\" title=\"Lucky\'s\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_13091-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Lucky\'s\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nMmm...breakfast biscuits. Made with the house sausage and homemade biscuits. And served with potatoes fried with onion ring strips and roasted peppers.\r\n\r\nAnd absolutely delicious.\r\n\r\nThis is what I ordered when my husband and I went to Lucky\'s for our once-in-a-parenthood breakfast date. It was hard to stray from Eggs Poblano - which, with poblano hollandaise, marinated chicken breast, fry bread and grilled pineapple served eggs benedict-style, is my favorite thing I\'ve tried at Lucky\'s so far - but I was glad for my adventurousness.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2153\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/10/luckys-cherry-street/dsc_1311/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2153\" title=\"Lucky\'s\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_1311-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Lucky\'s\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nMy partner in all things good and rascally ordered the chicken fried steak, which came with the most perfectly cooked scrambled eggs I\'ve ever tasted. And the CFS? Well, if <a href=\"http://www.tulsaworld.com/scene/article.aspx?subjectid=274&amp;articleid=20100121_349_ES19_Shemig918687\">Tulsa\'s CFS Club</a> hasn\'t given the Lucky\'s rendition of this vital piece of <a href=\"http://www.state.ok.us/osfdocs/stinfo.html\">Oklahoma\'s state meal</a> a shot, then it should be the very next on the agenda.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2154\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/10/luckys-cherry-street/dsc_1313/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2154\" title=\"Lucky\'s\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_1313.jpg\" alt=\"Lucky\'s\" width=\"425\" height=\"640\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBecause oh, baby, was it good. As in, close-your-eyes-and-make-noises-that\'ll-raise-eyebrows-at-the-next-table good. The steak was fried crispy and light, and the meat was so tender that my husband never even thought of reaching for his steak knife. That it was delightfully seasoned only added to the party.\r\n\r\nI loved it almost as much as I love this man.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2145\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/10/luckys-cherry-street/dsc_1280/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2145\" title=\"Lucky\'s\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_1280-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Lucky\'s\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI can\'t believe we\'ll be celebrating our sixth anniversary already this month. That is so cool to me, even if it\'s just a short amount of time in the grand scheme of things. I hope that on our 60th anniversary we\'ll still be looking over a breakfast table at each other each morning, with silly, happy smiles on our faces like the one you see here.\r\n\r\nEven if neither of us has any teeth left behind those smiles by then. We\'ll probably be competing against that chicken fried steak up there for the title of Most Crusty rather than chowing down on it on Sunday mornings, and that part won\'t be so cool, but we\'ll be happy.\r\n\r\nYes. Very happy indeed.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-2156\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/10/luckys-cherry-street/dsc_1318/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2156\" title=\"Lucky\'s\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DSC_1318-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Lucky\'s\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBrunch at Lucky\'s is what I like to call down-home chic, but high quality though it is, only a thing or two on the brunch menu is more than $10. On the occasion that the number to the right of the dish that\'s calling your name does exceed that price, I assure you that it\'s worth it.\r\n\r\nIf your crowd doesn\'t get around to visiting Lucky\'s until lunch or dinner time, <a href=\"http://www.luckysrestauranttulsa.com/power-lunch.php\">check out my review of the place in Tulsa Business Journal</a>, written back when the restaurant opened in 2007.

And guess what? It\'s happening this very Friday night.\r\n\r\nHere\'s what you\'re gonna copy into your calendar:\r\n\r\n<em><strong>First Draft</strong>\r\nWhen: Starting at 5:30pm\r\nWhere: Blue Dome Diner, 311 E. Second Street (just west of Second and Elgin)\r\n</em>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/first-draft-2010-tulsa-press-club/first-draft/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3487\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/BEERFILLEDCHOCOLATES-500x711.jpg\" alt=\"First Draft\" title=\"First Draft\" width=\"500\" height=\"711\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3487\" /></a>\r\n\r\nCome for the beer, stay for the food, the people, the Nouveau Chocolates (truffles filled with Lindeman\'s Framboise as well as chili pepper chocolate will be on hand) and the celebrity-judged beer-themed t-shirt contest. All proceeds benefit the <a href=\"http://www.tulsapressclub.com/about/foundation.cfm\">Tulsa Press Club Foundation</a>, which grants scholarships to journalism students, the poor souls.\r\n\r\nJust kidding about that \"poor souls\" thing. Because even if newspapers and radio and TV stations continue to cut back, you journalism grads can always start a blog. To learn about the possibilities, feel free to stop by the mansion I just bought in Maple Ridge. I\'ll tell my doorman, whom I\'ve gone through the legal pains to re-name Humphreys, to expect you.\r\n\r\nHeh.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/first-draft-2010-tulsa-press-club/el-cucuy-india-black-ale/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3488\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ELCUCUYINDIABLACKALE-500x381.jpg\" alt=\"First Draft\" title=\"First Draft\" width=\"500\" height=\"381\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3488\" /></a>\r\n\r\nParticipating brewers at First Draft 2010 include regional favorites like <a href=\"http://marshallbrewing.com/index.asp\">Marshall Brewing Co.</a> (who has brewed a special batch just for First Draft, by the way), <a href=\"http://www.chocbeer.com/\">Choc Beer</a>, <a href=\"http://www.coopaleworks.com/\">COOP Ale Works</a>, <a href=\"http://www.batteredboar.com/\">Battered Boar Brewing Co.</a>, <a href=\"http://www.mustangbrewing.com/\">Mustang Brewing Co.</a> and <a href=\"http://www.tallgrassbeer.com/\">Tallgrass Brewing Co</a>.\r\n\r\nOther notables include Chimay, Lindeman\'s, Left Hand and New Belgium Brewing Co. \r\n\r\nIn other words, your glass doesn\'t have a chance of running dry Friday night.\r\n\r\nPlus, KTUL NewsChannel 8\'s Kristin Dickerson will emcee the event. And I know how a lot of you guys feel about Kristin Dickerson. I mean, <a href=\"http://www.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=kristin+dickerson&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=664\">who could blame you</a>?\r\n\r\nTickets are $40 in advance and $50 at the door.

In a world where something like half of all marriages end in divorce, we feel lucky to have made it this far.\r\n\r\nWe\'ve certainly had our share of ups and downs - maybe even more than our share, especially early in our marriage. But, we have a secret that, through the years, has kept things exciting. And spicy.\r\n\r\nAnd, yeah, sometimes fattening. I\'m talking about the art and romance that is the lunch date.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--more-->\r\n[adrotate group=\"2\" banner=\"8\"]</p>\r\nThere\'s just something about taking a break from the worries of the work day and ditching your co-workers to meet your spouse for lunch instead. It feels like something someone would do early on in a love affair, to not be able to make it the whole day without seeing the object of one\'s affections.\r\n\r\nThe key to this is to not do it very often. It has to feel special and out-of-the-ordinary to work its magic. And where you meet doesn\'t really matter. Unlike the case with a dinner date, there\'s no pressure to pick the swankiest joint in town.\r\n\r\nIn fact, last time my husband and I met for a lunch date, it was at Junkyard Dawg. And we shared a hot dog and a dog bowl of chili and a root beer and stared into each other\'s eyes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/08/junkyard-dawg-candid-camera/\">And took some most unflattering photos of each other mid-bite</a>. But don\'t worry. You don\'t have to be like us.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3525\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3525\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3525\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1639.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"425\" height=\"640\" /></a>\r\n\r\nGood news! We had another lunch date this week. This time we opted for a few seats at the bar at <a href=\"http://www.ikeschilius.com/\">Ike\'s Chili</a>, at 5941 E. Admiral Place.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3526\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3526\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3526\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1652.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"425\" height=\"640\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI have a confession to make: Before our lunch date last week, I\'d never eaten at Ike\'s. I know! Bad Okie, bad. Because I really have no excuse for being a native Tulsan and not having eaten at what the folks at Ike\'s claims is the oldest restaurant in the entire state, the home of a 112-year chili recipe.\r\n\r\nI\'m gonna go ahead and blame my parents for this one. Sometimes it\'s just easier that way.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3531\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3531\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3531\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1668-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe chili at Ike\'s - which I\'d judge as a well-balanced, approachable variety that can be appreciated by novices and chili experts alike, and by folks who were raised on just about any of America\'s regional versions of the stuff - is served in various ways. For instance, you can order it on a Frito pie ($5.49 for the small version that comes with the special, or $6.89 for a large), as above.\r\n\r\nOr, you can order a burger and smother it with chili, like so:\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3534\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3534\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3534\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1677-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis here is the most popular burger at Ike\'s: the humbly named Chili Cheese Burger.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3535\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3535\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3535\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1680-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nIt\'s $7.99 worth of beef topped with, well, more beef. And, as its name describes, cheese. And it\'s served with a huge side of seasoned waffle fries.\r\n\r\nAnd it\'s worth every penny, especially since all chili, Ike\'s included, only gets better after a night in the fridge. And you\'ll definitely need to take some of this sucker home with you. I think that if you try to eat it all in one sitting you might slip into a chili coma on the way back to the office.\r\n\r\nWhich would probably make your boss pretty mad.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3535\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3535\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3535\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1680-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nChili at Ike\'s also comes on spaghetti, three-way, fries, coneys, tamales and in pint- and quart-sized to-go cups. In other words, if it\'s on the menu, you can order it doused in Ike\'s signature combo of tomatoes, beef and spices.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3529\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3529\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3529\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1662-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nYou weirdos who don\'t like chili have options at Ike\'s, too. For instance, see the above - the Ike\'s Burger ($5.99), complete with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions and mayo or mustard.\r\n\r\nOr, you can order your burger with jalapenos and bacon ($6.99) or with Head Country BBQ sauce ($5.99). Either way, you\'ll have a true, Okie-fied meal on your hands. Or, you can opt for a chicken tenders basket ($7.29) or a hot dog ($2.09). Ain\'t no shame in any of it.\r\n\r\nMy apologies to my vegetarian readers, though. You might just be out of luck this time. That is, unless you\'re just looking for some dessert.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3536\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3536\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3536\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1684-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nIke\'s offers a variety of cobblers for dessert each day. On the chalkboard the day we visited were peach, cherry and blackberry, each $3.25.\r\n\r\nAfter we saw some pass us on the way to another table we were tempted to order one of each kind, but after an Ike\'s Burger, a Chili Cheese Burger and a Frito Pie, that would have been just unreasonable. Crazy. Plain ol\' inadvisable.\r\n\r\nBut that doesn\'t change that we seriously considered doing it anyway.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3537\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3537\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3537\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1688-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nIn the end, we opted for the blackberry. And we added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to really party things up. All told, we spent $4 on our little down-home, date day treat.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3538\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3538\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3538\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1689-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI think I ate more than my half. Don\'t tell my husband. He\'s the kind who exacts revenge for such things.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3538\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3538\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3538\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1689-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nOne of the cool things about Ike\'s is that it\'s a laid-back, greasy-spoon sort of place. You practically expect to see familiar faces there.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3532\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3532\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3532\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1675-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWait - no, seriously. That guy really does look familiar.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3533\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3533\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3533\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1676-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThat\'s because it\'s Chris Trail, the guy who, in addition to heading up a family business and guarding a secret chili recipe that\'s been in Tulsa since 1908, <a href=\"http://www.tulsacouncil.org/councilors/district-5.aspx\">is the city councilor for District 5 here in the city of Tulsa</a>.\r\n\r\nSo if you live in District 5 and you wanna give Chris a piece of your mind about this, that or the other, you don\'t have to call or e-mail him, You can just go to Ike\'s. That way you can state your case and eat some chili at the same time.\r\n\r\nBonus!\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3527\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3527\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3527\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1658-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThere\'s a different special every day the doors are open at Ike\'s, which makes life easy for budget-conscious people (like those who blog for a living). In fact, even without the specials it\'s tough to spend more than $10 on a meal at Ike\'s. You\'d have to do something crazy to get that kind of job done - something like ordering a 32-ounce cup of chili straight up.\r\n\r\nRead: This is <em>not</em> a dare. In other words, this is my please-don\'t-send-me-your-hospital-bills plea.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3540\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/?attachment_id=3540\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3540\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1702-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThere\'s quite a history behind what goes on day in and day out at Ike\'s Chili. <a href=\"http://ikeschilius.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=57&amp;Itemid=63\">Get the essentials of the story from the Queen of Good Things herself, Martha Stewart</a>.

Everyone there is proud of their story, and especially if you can find a few seats at the bar during lunch time like my husband and I did last week, you don\'t have to ask very loud to get the scoop.\r\n\r\nThat is, if you can stop eating long enough to ask.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ike\'s Chili</strong>\r\nWhere: 5941 E.

On the chalkboard the day we visited were peach, cherry and blackberry, each $3.25.\r\n\r\nAfter we saw some pass us on the way to another table we were tempted to order one of each kind, but after an Ike\'s Burger, a Chili Cheese Burger and a Frito Pie, that would have been just unreasonable. Crazy. Plain ol\' inadvisable.\r\n\r\nBut that doesn\'t change that we seriously considered doing it anyway.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3537\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/ikes-chili-food-review/dsc_1688/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3537\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1688-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nIn the end, we opted for the blackberry. And we added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to really party things up. All told, we spent $4 on our little down-home, date day treat.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3538\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/ikes-chili-food-review/dsc_1689/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3538\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1689-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nI think I ate more than my half. Don\'t tell my husband. He\'s the kind who exacts revenge for such things.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3538\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/ikes-chili-food-review/dsc_1689/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3538\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1689-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nOne of the cool things about Ike\'s is that it\'s a laid-back, greasy-spoon sort of place. You practically expect to see familiar faces there.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3532\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/ikes-chili-food-review/dsc_1675-2/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3532\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1675-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWait - no, seriously. That guy really does look familiar.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3533\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/ikes-chili-food-review/dsc_1676-2/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3533\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1676-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThat\'s because it\'s Chris Trail, the guy who, in addition to heading up a family business and guarding a secret chili recipe that\'s been in Tulsa since 1908, <a href=\"http://www.tulsacouncil.org/councilors/district-5.aspx\">is the city councilor for District 5 here in the city of Tulsa</a>.\r\n\r\nSo if you live in District 5 and you wanna give Chris a piece of your mind about this, that or the other, you don\'t have to call or e-mail him, You can just go to Ike\'s. That way you can state your case and eat some chili at the same time.\r\n\r\nBonus!\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3527\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/ikes-chili-food-review/dsc_1658-3/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3527\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1658-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThere\'s a different special every day the doors are open at Ike\'s, which makes life easy for budget-conscious people (like those who blog for a living). In fact, even without the specials it\'s tough to spend more than $10 on a meal at Ike\'s. You\'d have to do something crazy to get that kind of job done - something like ordering a 32-ounce cup of chili straight up.\r\n\r\nRead: This is <em>not</em> a dare. In other words, this is my please-don\'t-send-me-your-hospital-bills plea.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-3540\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/ikes-chili-food-review/dsc_1702-2/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3540\" title=\"Ike\'s Chili\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DSC_1702-500x332.jpg\" alt=\"Ike\'s Chili\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThere\'s quite a history behind what goes on day in and day out at Ike\'s Chili. <a href=\"http://ikeschilius.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=57&amp;Itemid=63\">Get the essentials of the story from the Queen of Good Things herself, Martha Stewart</a>.

Everyone there is proud of their story, and especially if you can find a few seats at the bar during lunch time like my husband and I did last week, you don\'t have to ask very loud to get the scoop.\r\n\r\nThat is, if you can stop eating long enough to ask.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ike\'s Chili</strong>\r\nWhere: 5941 E.

Be sure and tell her TDT sent you.\r\n\r\nSo, there\'s that whole avenue, actually paying for tickets to this beer-tastic event. You can\'t go wrong by heading in this direction. I mean, there aren\'t many places where you can get a bottomless glass of beer for the price of a few drinks and a snack at the bar.\r\n\r\nBut, there\'s another way. If you\'d like <strong>two free tickets to First Draft 2010</strong> (a $100 value, y\'all), you could answer this question:\r\n\r\n<blockquote>You\'re on death row. You\'ve just been asked which beer you\'d like to have with your last meal. What do you order?</blockquote>\r\n\r\nSimple, right? <strong>I\'ll let Random.org pick the winners tonight at 8pm</strong>. I\'ll contact the winner and proclaim here his/her dominance over the losers shortly after.\r\n\r\nGood luck, but more important: Cheers, and see you on Friday night!\r\n\r\n<em>All photos are courtesy.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Tasha’s note: This giveaway is sponsored by Tulsa Press Club.</em>','First Draft: Lots and lots of beer.

I\'ll tell my doorman, whom I\'ve gone through the legal pains to re-name Humphreys, to expect you.\r\n\r\nHeh.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/11/first-draft-2010-tulsa-press-club/el-cucuy-india-black-ale/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3488\"><img src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ELCUCUYINDIABLACKALE-500x381.jpg\" alt=\"First Draft\" title=\"First Draft\" width=\"500\" height=\"381\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3488\" /></a>\r\n\r\nParticipating brewers at First Draft 2010 include regional favorites like <a href=\"http://marshallbrewing.com/index.asp\">Marshall Brewing Co.</a> (who has brewed a special batch just for First Draft, by the way), <a href=\"http://www.chocbeer.com/\">Choc Beer</a>, <a href=\"http://www.coopaleworks.com/\">COOP Ale Works</a>, <a href=\"http://www.batteredboar.com/\">Battered Boar Brewing Co.</a>, <a href=\"http://www.mustangbrewing.com/\">Mustang Brewing Co.</a> and <a href=\"http://www.tallgrassbeer.com/\">Tallgrass Brewing Co</a>.\r\n\r\nOther notables include Chimay, Lindeman\'s, Left Hand and New Belgium Brewing Co. \r\n\r\nIn other words, your glass doesn\'t have a chance of running dry Friday night.\r\n\r\nPlus, KTUL NewsChannel 8\'s Kristin Dickerson will emcee the event. And I know how a lot of you guys feel about Kristin Dickerson. I mean, <a href=\"http://www.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=kristin+dickerson&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=664\">who could blame you</a>?\r\n\r\nTickets are $40 in advance and $50 at the door.

Be sure and tell her TDT sent you.\r\n\r\nSo, there\'s that whole avenue, actually paying for tickets to this beer-tastic event. You can\'t go wrong by heading in this direction. I mean, there aren\'t many places where you can get a bottomless glass of beer for the price of a few drinks and a snack at the bar.\r\n\r\nBut, there\'s another way. If you\'d like <strong>two free tickets to First Draft 2010</strong> (a $100 value, y\'all), you could answer this question:\r\n\r\n<blockquote>You\'re on death row. You\'ve just been asked which beer you\'d like to have with your last meal. What do you order?</blockquote>\r\n\r\nSimple, right? <strong>I\'ll let Random.org pick the winners tonight at 8pm</strong>. I\'ll contact the winner and proclaim here his/her dominance over the losers shortly after.\r\n\r\nGood luck, but more important: Cheers, and see you on Friday night!\r\n\r\n<em>All photos are courtesy.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Tasha’s note: This giveaway is sponsored by Tulsa Press Club.</em>','First Draft: Lots and lots of beer.

As a Tulsey winner myself (no joke - <a href=\"http://thetulseys.com/past-winners/2009-winners/\">TDT beat out the infinitely more worthy Phillips360 and Ping.fm in 2009</a>), I\'ll say that each and every one of the 2010 nominees are worthy of your consideration. A few of Tulsa\'s bloggers are up for awards, too, so be sure to keep them in mind as you cast your votes.\r\n\r\nYou can vote once per day, y\'all, so vote often for your favorite Tulsa businesspeople, starting today.\r\n\r\nAnd one more thing: Rags to Riches, B!#@&amp;*S!\r\n\r\nSorry.

I\'d never had Nutella before, and honestly, just looking at the jars of it in the grocery stores, it didn\'t look appealing. But when perusing the menu at <a href=\"http://modscrepes.com/\">Mod\'s Coffee and Crepes</a> (across the street from Elote and the other half of Two Bucks on Boston) I noticed that they offer a crepe stuffed with Nutella and bananas.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-1399\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/08/elote-mods-crepes-the-southie/dscn3548/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1399\" title=\"Mod\'s Coffee and Crepes by Kellyology\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSCN3548-500x495.jpg\" alt=\"Mod\'s Coffee and Crepes by Kellyology\" width=\"500\" height=\"495\" /></a>\r\n\r\nSo across the street I trotted to check out what all the fuss was about.\r\n\r\nNow, when I first got my Nutella-and-banana-stuffed crepe, it looked like any other crepe.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-1400\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/08/elote-mods-crepes-the-southie/dscn3540/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1400\" title=\"Mod\'s Coffee and Crepes by Kellyology\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSCN3540-500x651.jpg\" alt=\"Mod\'s Coffee and Crepes by Kellyology\" width=\"500\" height=\"651\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThen I opened it up, and it looked exactly like I had imagined it...bananas covered in poo.\r\n\r\n<a rel=\"attachment wp-att-1402\" href=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/08/elote-mods-crepes-the-southie/dscn3541/\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1402\" title=\"Mod\'s Coffee and Crepes by Kellyology\" src=\"http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/DSCN3541-500x443.jpg\" alt=\"Mod\'s Coffee and Crepes by Kellyology\" width=\"500\" height=\"443\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNo, really.

I mean, it\'s melted chocolate on top of bananas wrapped up in a crepe. The nature of melted chocolate on top of bananas is appealing enough.
