Southern Living Magazine’s Best Things to Do in Tulsa

We like to think we are pretty good at giving you the Tulsa scoop every weekday but Southern Living gave it a go and we couldn’t agree more.

• They Get Us: Southern Living listed the 26 Best Things To Do in Tulsa and it starts with food and beverage, of course. The Et. Al. restaurant group, Farm Bar and Mother Road Market all made the cut for great food. Valkyrie was mentioned for crafty cocktails, Weber’s is listed as having world famous root beer and The Starlite Bar is the magazine’s favorite dive bar.

• Made for Music: Cain’s Ballroom is turning 100 so naturally it is listed as a must see music stop. The Woody Guthrie Center and Bob Dylan Center both got nods for being incredible immersive experiences and of course the Philbrook Museum of Art is a can’t miss art adventure.

Group of Tulsa Chefs Celebrates 2 Years of Partnerships

Here at Tulsa Daily, we like to eat and when a group of talented chefs get together to pump up Tulsa restaurants, we dive in.

• Come to the Table: When a group of chefs form a club of sorts to help the Tulsa Food scene thrive, what could go wrong? Et Al. is a band of culinary artists who use their dishes as a narrative of flavors that tell of tradition, innovation, and the rich blend of cultures that Tulsa proudly embodies.

• Finding the Good: The pandemic forced the Et Al. Chefs to get creative. They started a program called ‘Food for the Screwed,’ which is where they got the idea to pay everyone who helped equally because most customers used payment apps. Since then, Et Al. has been focused on full profit distribution and equal pay in the restaurant industry.
