You won’t find four-and-20 blackbirds baked in any pies at the newly opened Blackbird Gastropub, 575 S. University in Norman, but you will find an updated take on classic dishes.

Suppose you see a separate note attached to a menu announcing the blue-plate specials. Do you like to experiment? It’s true, some chefs use diners as guinea pigs when they’re experimenting with new dishes. But sometimes the food turns out so good, the dish actually makes it on the permanent menu.

Restaurant Reviews

There’s a lot of stock put into image with sushi joint In the Raw. From the highly marketable and perfectly suited name, to the refined-but-fun interior and the elegantly simple sashimi, it’s an attractive, stylish place.

The burger biz must be booming these days, as evidenced by S&B’s Burger Joint poised to open a southside location Tuesday at the corner of Interstate 240 and S. Walker. Owner Bryan Neel said he wanted to expand the horizons for the local eatery, and he likes the area because of its concentration of businesses.
