Our hearts go out to the Nelson's Buffeteria family! Fred was a true Tulsa culinary icon, whose legacy will live on forever. "HELLO CHICKEN FRY!"

In Loving Memory of Fred Jenkins

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear friend and longtime team member, Fred Jenkins.

Fred was more than just part of the Nelson’s Buffeteria family—he was family. For decades, his warmth, hard work, and kindness greeted generations of Tulsans who walked through our doors. His smile, his stories, and his dedication made Nelson’s feel like home.

Fred poured his heart into this place, and in doing so, he left behind more than great memories—he left a legacy of love, laughter, and community.

To all who knew Fred, we invite you to share your memories in the comments. Together, let’s celebrate the man who gave so much to all of us.

Rest easy, Fred. You will be forever missed and always remembered.

Your Nelson’s Buffeteria Family

It's the Season 2 Premier, and who better to have on the show than Rick Shaw's lifelong best friend of like 6 months, Sheamus Feeley! The 2 Many Cooks guys explain that inside joke and find out Chef Feeley is just a humble kid from Arkansas that grew up to kick ass in the culinary world. They find out how he decided to open Noche, one the "New York Times Best New Restaurants of 2024" in Tulsa, what to expect from his next joint venture with Elliot Nelson, Malfi, and his firm stance on burritos. There's this and so much more including a lot of trash panda talk on the lucky 13th episode of 2 Many Cooks! https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-nqf6v-17b3175
