Fresh Bread and Schnitzel in South Tulsa

The Farm shopping center in South Tulsa offers some fun food choices for Oklahoma folks. Dianne and I visited The Farm this weekend to have a meal at Margaret's German Restaurant & Deli.

Margaret's German Restaurant offers a large selection of traditional German sausages, pork loin dishes and sweet strudel. Although I usually won't touch sour kraut, I found the sour kraut at Margaret's to be excellent. Dianne enjoyed Jager Schnitzel and a spicy German dark beer. I played chicken with the sin of gluttony by downing Knackwurst, Bratwurst and Weisswurst in shocking quantities. The food was all fantastic and the service was excellent.

I'm surprised we had not already given Margaret's a try, considering they have been slinging schnitzel in Tulsa for over twenty years. However, when we found out that the owner, Margaret Rzepczynski, was on a mission to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, we moved her place up to the top of the list.

Visit the restaurant website for more details on Margaret's fund raising effort and what you can do to participate!

While we were visiting The Farm shopping center, we stumbled onto the Great Harvest Bread Company. An excellent local bread maker that uses only wheat that is fresh ground daily using their impressive stone grinding machine. They make whole wheat bread from five simple ingredients for bread that is healthier and fresher. In fact, no loaf of bread that they sell is more than 30 hours old!

Stop by Tulsa's Great Harvest Bread Co. someday and visit with the owner/operator Greg Diamond. In addition to a world-class sandwich, you will get a lesson on the bread making art that you will never forget!
