Coney Island OKC

These are the things dreams are made of.



That statement is true if you're a lover of chili cheese dogs! Coney Island is a historic and popular restaurant in downtown Oklahoma City, located just one block north of the bus station. (428 W Main St, to be exact!)

Loaded chili cheese dogs like those above (made with a hot dog, chili, cheese and onions) cost a mere $1.40 each. A veritable feast of delicious carbs can be yours for around $5. What a bargain!

Staff can load up multiple dogs at a time by lining them up on their arm, as shown in this photo. This feat, I have no doubt, takes both talent and years of training!



On this most recent trip to Coney Island, I didn't save room for baklava for dessert. Keep that in mind when you're placing your order. Fresh baklava is hard to beat!



There is a second Oklahoma City Coney Island location, at 240 SW 25th St. I haven't visited that one, but hope to before long. Bring on the loaded chili cheese dogs! :-)

Prairie Thunder Baking Company --Artisan Bakery of OKC

One of my favorite new places to visit in OKC is the wonderful Prairie Thundery Baking Company --Artisan Bakery of OKC off Classen Drive. They have some of the best sweet treats that OKC has to offer.
The smell of bread baking when you walk through the door is just one of the sweet elements of this charming little eatery. The establishment is owned by a delightful gentleman by the name of John that always takes time to speak to his customers. I have enjoyed many of their decadent pastries and desserts. Their sweets are not only pleasing to the pallet but also to the eye. However, don’t let my ranting about their sweets give those without a sweet tooth reason not to stop in. They have a wonderful selection of breakfast and lunch sustenance.
Their bread is a precious thing to behold and the coffee is a fantastic surprise. I pride myself in being quite a coffee connoisseur, and they have the best cappuccino in town. I like mine with no flavoring and heavy on the foam …I’m never disappointed. They start with the darkest little espresso bean that ends up having the most robust flavor after it has been ground, pressed and steamed. OH DELISH! Everyone should stop by and visit the Prairie Thunder Baking Company.

Sushi Neko in Oklahoma City

Sushi Neko is an amazing restaurant in downtown Oklahoma City (on Western and 42nd) specializing in all types of Sushi. Not being a genuine connoisseur of sushi myself, I found the extensive menu to be rather intimidating, but thankfully others in our party were able to help me select Negi-Maki. This is a low-carb friendly dish (unlike most of the offerings which are served, of course with lots of rice) made of ribeye steak, spinach and scallions. The marinade used in this dish is wonderful! It was not spicy but VERY flavorful. I highly recommend Sushi Neko! The atmosphere is very cosmopolitan and I think my wife will love it when we go back on a date night, sometime in hopefully the not TOO distant future!
