🌭 Did you know Tulsa’s been in the Coney dog game since 1926? A Greek immigrant brought the Coney Island-style dog here, and it became an instant hometown favorite! Honestly, I’m always on an unofficial quest to find the BEST Coney in Tulsa… and while I haven’t tried them all, I’ve got a current favorite you need to check out.

Next time you’re headed to Bixby, swing by Moondogs Coney Cafe for lunch! This family-owned gem brings sunny, beachy vibes with bright colors, tropical touches, and the happiest staff around. My boys and I grabbed lunch today—three of us ate for under $20! 😱🌴

The Coney dogs? Steamed buns, perfectly cooked dogs, and just the right amount of beanless chili, cheese, mustard, and diced onions—absolute perfection. There’s just something special about a place that takes true pride in what they make, and Moondogs Coney Cafe is it.

🏄‍♂️ Big love to local spots that take pride in what they serve!

In the time that I have spent touring Tulsa’s local scene I have to say one of my favorite spots is a little family run gem nestled in Broken Arrow. If you haven’t check out Okie Family Market you will definitely want one swing by sometime!
❤️Not only do they have some of the friendliest service but they offer a huge selection of Oklahoma-grown foods, produce, meats, and handmade goods. With a mission to support local families and finding fresh, high-quality food and treats for your home seems to be doing it right.
Not only do I love knowing my dollars go straight back to the Tulsa community but I find comfort knowing all the items are seasonal, high-quality, living and healthy.

Go visit them in Broken Arrow or check out their products online! I will eat through my current bounty quickly and will definitely be returning to try more.

Local spotlight! ✨

If you love supporting Tulsa small businesses (and good food), check out The Cook's Nook one of my most favorite stores to get lost in! This shop is packed with cook’s essentials, specialty cookware, craft coffee beans, and their oil and balsamic tasting bar. You can even bring your knives for professional sharpening and don’t miss their pop-up events that bring our foodie community together. Several years back I took a knife and cutting class it was an interactive informative and fun event! I even left with a few new knives.

If you are a foodie at heart and live in Tulsa, then you must know the inner workings and creative force that is chef Shannon Smith.

A native of Oklahoma and renowned food enthusiast, has traveled to over 50 countries where she shares kitchens and a passion for regional cuisines of local chefs and home cooks, learning about the foods and traditions that have shaped their lives. She brings a glimpse of that back to Tulsa each time, hosting dinners in her beautiful Tulsa home with themed menus based on her travels, celebrating specific types of cuisine from all over the world.

I personally attended one of these dinner events with my cousin and was blown away by the experience as she walked us through each course sharing stories from her travels. Shannon is charming, witty and nothing short of inspiring, cheering on others in their passions and hoping for their success.

I was so excited when her first cookbook, titled “The Hidden Table” was released in May of 2024. It is a collection of stories and recipes from her adventures around the world. I’ve practiced many of the recipes from these pages and don’t know if I could pick a personal favorite, they are all scrumptious!

Shannon is also available for your private event! She hosts both private dinners and cooking classes in her beautiful home and backyard garden. It is an experience to remember.

A Tulsa gem with many stories to share she will have you captivated, inspired, and FULL!

🍣 But did you know sushi tastes better with a killer view??🥢 will never disappoint on a date night! 🥂
Located on the 6th floor of the Vast Bank building, you will find not only your In The Raw menu favorites, but an elevated view and experience! With a menu combining traditional sushi choices plus a variety of non-sushi entrees, and plenty of shareable small bites, there’s something for everyone.
My personal favorite is the 6151 roll, largely in part to the fact that it was the first roll I ever had 20 years ago!!😱
As a bonus, Fireworks can be seen from In the Raw Vu after the Tulsa Drillers’ baseball games and probably one of the best times to snag some outdoor seating! 🎆

Wanna climb some walls (on purpose)?
Say hello to Climb Tulsa — a 20,000 sq ft indoor climbing wonderland where you can channel your inner Spider-Man, conquer towering walls, and surprise yourself with what you’re capable of. 💥

Whether you’re brand new or basically live in your harness, there’s something here for every level:
👶 Ages 5+ can join guided climbs
🎓 First-timer? Try an intro class for just $40
🧗‍♂️ Classes + coaching 7 days a week
🛍 Tulsa’s best selection of climbing gear
🧘‍♀️ Oh yeah… daily yoga, too!

We love taking our boys to a controlled place where safety is truely first and let them burn off some energy while I hang by in the cool air conditioning.

But Climb Tulsa is more than chalk and ropes — it’s a community built by passionate climbers who believe in grit, growth, and good vibes. 💪 Founder Jason Burks turned his first awe-struck moment watching climbers in Colorado into a dream gym right here in Tulsa — and it shows.

Come climb, sweat, laugh, fall (safely), and get back up again. Your new favorite hobby might be waiting at the top. 🧗‍♂️💫

⭐️ This Month’s Megastar⭐️

Cat Cox, owner + baker at Country Bird Bakery

🥖🏆 History Made this month in Tulsa! 🥐
We are excited to celebrate Cat Cox, owner + baker behind , for becoming Tulsa’s first ever James Beard Award winner! 🙌

Named Outstanding Pastry Chef or Baker by the , Cat’s work is more than baking—it’s storytelling through sourdough. Every loaf, tart, and crusty edge is rooted in the Heartland’s soil, using stone-ground grains from OK, AR, KS, MO & TX. 🌾❤️

At Country Bird Bakery, baking is an agricultural act. It's a slow, intentional process that nourishes the gut, uplifts local farmers, and tells the story of land + labor. Cat’s passion is not just in the product—but in the process, the people, and the place.

Swing by Saturdays, 9am–1pm
📍1644 E 3rd St, Suite B, Tulsa, OK
💻 Workshops, sourdough, local love: linktr.ee/countrybirdbakery

Let’s give Cat her flowers—flour-dusted and well-earned. 🌸💛
