Installment three of Name That Dish just might be one of my favorites yet.  I don’t like to give out clues, but this one is going to be challenging, so here’s a small hint: This was the “Special” the night I visited the restaurant. (Translation: it isn’t on the menu. The dish was Alaskan Halibut with a romesco sauce, topped with a basil & mango salsa.  And one more clue – it was my first time visiting the restaurant, although it has been a fixture in Oklahoma City for many years.)

Good Luck!

So it looks like Name that Dish #2 was a toughie. Lots of guesses on FB – but no one got even close! The answer to Dish #2 is…. (drum roll please….) The Lobby Bar, located inside the Will Rogers Theater. A great friend make the recommendation for lunch one afternoon, and I was quite impressed.

The first dish is the Nicoise Salad, which, for a lunch portion, included a generous amount of tuna. The second dish pictured was the Chicken & Brie Panini with a side of White Bean and Hickory Bacon (now people, as you may remember from earlier posts, everything is better with bacon!). Both meals were exceptional, and well worth the visit. If you are looking for an “off-the-beaten-path” place to have lunch near the Western Corridor, then definitely check out The Lobby Bar.

Well  no one was able to identify the last picture- (I thought I gave you an easy one to start out with- but I guess not.) Picture #1 was the Tomato, Mozzarella & Basil Salad from Panera Bread!  It is one of their signature summer salads- and let me tell you – it is FABULOUS.  I am particularly fond of the dressing, which is a balsamic vinaigrette. The full size portion (pictured) is large – so come hungry!

Now- on to picture #2. (And this one is going to be a tough one!  To help you out – I am posting two pictures of two separate dishes).

And dish #2 from the same restaurant is:

Happy Guessing!!

Well folks, it looks like I may be failing at one of my 2010 goals (writing three times a week. Did you SEE the date on the last post???).

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, Summer is my favorite time of year.  That being said- it seems like this summer has been on fast forward ever since it started! I can’t believe that THIRTY days from today, I will be dropping my girls off for their first day of school.  With the exception of the infamous hail storm, the unbelievable flood of 2010 and two straight weeks of rain, it has been fun. We have meandered through the Sam Noble Natural History Museum, gazed at gorillas, chimpanzees and giraffes at the Oklahoma City Zoo,  bowled, swam, and (my personal favorite) ate Rice Krispy Treats while enjoying fireworks on the 4th of July. All in all, I would say this summer is living up to all expectations.

In addition to the extra curricular activities, I have been enjoying some amazing food this summer. Hello, my name is Stephanie, and I am addicted to Big Truck Tacos.  If you live within a 100 mile radius of Oklahoma City and have not tried it, then shame on you.

So, in honor of all the amazing food that is being served in and around Oklahoma City, I have decided to start a weekly post called “Name that Dish!”.  I will post a picture of a meal I have enjoyed somewhere in Oklahoma, and you tell me the dish AND the restaurant? Ready? Go!
