Artful eating
Eat your arty little heart out!

Art is great, right? It’s all … artsy, and it makes you feel stuff. Which is why, when the torrential rains of late April show up, we OKCers like to head downtown and walk around looking at it during the perennially wet and wonderful Festival of the Arts.
Don’t be crabby
Excellent service and authentic food await you in this Creole hideaway.

Crabtown

What’s good: Crawfish étouffée and shrimp Creole are about as authentic as you’ll get around here.
What’s not so good: The goofy decorations.
Tips: Be sure to ask for the Crabtown Trash when your waitress first comes by, as it sometimes sells out.
Don’t be a weenie
Try out-of-the-box hot dogs that will take your taste buds on a gourmet adventure.
Restaurant Reviews
Greg Elwell
What works: The standard dog combinations are inventive and delicious.
What needs work: A few of the specialty dogs are so loaded with toppings you can't really taste the meat that makes them special.
The tip: Not in the mood for a dog? You can get any dog toppings on a burger.
Grand-slam grub
The RedHawks season opens with more options for America’s second-favorite pastime: eating.
Food and Drink Features
Greg Elwell
When the 2012 RedHawks season begins Thursday with a homestand against our most-hated foes and history’s greatest monsters, the Memphis Redbirds, there will be baseball and sunshine. But most important, there will be food.
Hurts so good
This Thai house isn’t afraid to turn up the heat with its curry and chile dishes.

When my friends came to town — yes, I have them; don’t act so shocked — they had a few places they wanted to stop. La Baguette for brunch. The Wedge for dinner. And lunch, they insisted, must be at … Pei Wei.
Keep on truckin’
The mobile food trend didn’t waste any time making its way to town.

Running a restaurant isn’t cheap. You need walls. You need a parking lot. Waiters. Chairs. Forks.
Picasso Cafe
Leave the brushes at home; this Picasso is all about eats.
Restaurant Reviews
Greg Elwell
Picasso Cafe
What works: Crowd-pleasing menu and service.
What needs work: I'd like en entrée of pretzels. But that's more my issue.
Tips: Go at night and get a drink. Hippy Juice tastes like smiles, but will knock you down.
Irish ayes
You’re in luck if you’re hoping for authentic Irish fare on Saturday.

It’s said that St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. Except that there never were any snakes in Ireland. And the snakes he said were driven out were attacking him during a 40-day fast which, let’s be frank, could make anybody a bit loopy.

Last supper
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel full.
Food and Drink Features
Greg Elwell
The problem with the end of the world is not all the volcanoes spewing lava and the plagues of locusts, frogs and (wild guess, here) wildebeests. Sure, the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse and 76 Trombones and probably Nic Cage as Ghost Rider are bad, but you know what’s worse?
The Red Cup
This bustling, eclectic dive serves up coffee, comfort food and community.

What works: Delicious dishes made upon ordering.
What needs work: Some comfort-food faves lacked any real standout appeal.
The tip: If you're avoiding meat, this is the place for you.
Chefs di Domani
Practice makes perfect. It also makes for a pretty tasty lunch and dinner at Chefs di Domani.

What works: The pad thai and chicken chili paste are great.
What needs work: The heater, apparently. It was chilly in there.
Tips: They used to have a lunch buffet. They don’t have a lunch buffet anymore. Just order off the menu. It’s worth it.
