Another Day, Another Dinner
Posted on September 15, 2021 by Ching under Food and Drink, Travel.
These are pictures from our dinner at Industry on Saturday night. It’s another restaurant that was close to the hotel and pickleball tournament venue. It was a really good location for a tournament, actually. It’s in a shopping area with lots of restaurants nearby for dinner options.
Anyway, cheese balls or cheese cubes must be an Oklahoma City thing because both restaurants we ate at offered their own version of it. Chris said the ones at Industry (the big round balls pictured above) were better than the cubes he had the previous night at S&B. Brian and I will be back in November. I curious to try some other places and see if they also offer some form of cheese ball or cheese cube thing.
Until next time. GNG.

S&B’s Burger Joint
Posted on September 14, 2021 by Ching under Food and Drink, Travel.
The blog is behind so I’m going to attempt to catch it up this week. These are pictures from our dinner at S&B Burger Joint on our first night in Oklahoma City a couple of weeks ago. The restaurant was conveniently located close to our hotel and Lifetime Athletics where the pickleball tournament was being held.
I celebrated my 50/50 mixed doubles gold medal with Chris Wilson with a pretty drink. Chris had a peanut butter milkshake.
The drink was good but not great. Honestly, it’s way prettier than it tasted. I enjoyed the bonus cotton candy that came with it.
Pretty drinks are kind of my thing. LOL.
Anyway, Brian and I had a wonderful time hanging out with Chris, and Kimberly and Eric Howe at dinner. It was the perfect way to end the day and kick off tournament weekend.

Post-Pickleball Munchies at Old Chicago
Posted on September 1, 2021 by Ching under Community, Food and Drink.
Brian and I met up with some of my pickleball pals at Old Chicago for a late lunch one Saturday afternoon. I’d forgotten that Old Chicago stays open late until our server told us. It will be a great option for after pickleball on a Friday night.
Not everyone who played that morning came to join us for lunch but several people did. We had a really good group. Here are some pictures of our food.
Until next time. GNG.

Twin Peaks Food
Posted on August 31, 2021 by Ching under Food and Drink.
When you think of food, Twin Peaks isn’t the first place that comes to mind but, to be perfectly honest, their food isn’t bad. I ended up over there with my friends Dave, Tiffany, Donnie, and Janelle one Friday night after pickleball at Nahola.
Here are some pictures of our food from that night.
This is their version of the Cuban and it’s pretty good.
Tiffany was good and had a salad.
Dave had the tacos, I think. If I remember it correctly.
I don’t always go out with the Friday night pickleball crew because I don’t like staying up late generally but sometimes you just feel like good company.

Sunday Fun-Day at the Belmont
Posted on August 23, 2021 by Ching under Food and Drink.
The Belmont is hands-down our current favorite happy hour destination. They have this drink there called “rackhouse” that is like an old fashioned and Brian absolutely loves it.
I sometimes wish he would look at me like he’s looking at this this drink. =P
No happy hour trip to the Belmont is ever complete without the cheese course.
I have tried all of the specialty cocktails they make at the Belmont and they are all very good. The “calumet” is my favorite but I also like the “violets femmes” (pictured above without the signature flower). I know the flower is just for decoration but this drink is never as good without it.
We decided to get dessert this time which was a shortbread cookie with chocolate mouse and strawberries. It was good but I think I would have preferred an actual strawberry shortcake and had this on a moist sponge cake (pound cake?). If only I knew how (or had a desire) to make my own stuff then we wouldn’t have to go out and rely on the food that others make. Until next time, GNG.
