Since I have so many memories of The Bowery, it was with mixed emotions that I visited The Brady Tavern. Walking in, it was unmistakably different from the Bowery as I knew it..
There, where there was once a stage graced by Charlie Redd and The Full Flava Kings, is now a group of tables begging for your presence, enticing you to grab a seat, take it all in and order something divine from the menu...
Well, I recommend you start with the Deviled Egg Trifecta.
That's right a TRIFECTA of deviled egg "divine-ness" that includes a Wasabi Deviled Egg, a Traditional Deviled Egg and a third entry that I honestly can't recall the name of.. but IT WAS GOOD! I mean, look at that picture... YES! That is BACON! Mmmm!
Follow the Trifecta with the Smoked Chicken Salad... that's the wonderful salad on the right: Mixed Greens, Tender Chicken, Avocado, Mango and something called Mustard Emulsion (it was good!) The chicken was so tender and seemed lightly flavored. The selection was light yet filling, not too lightly seasoned either, but pulled together just right and in a perfect portion to be shared or enjoyed by one.
But for me, the headliner was, of course, The Tavern Burger. Featured in Tulsa People Magazine, The Tavern Burger is a unique experience that will broaden your palette and leave you craving it again... it doesn't haunt you, it begs you... there's a difference.
Paired with duck-fat-fried, seasoned french fries, The Tavern Burger isn't your everyday ground beef smashed burger... it's burger savvy, almost jazzy and plain euphoria on a bun. Why do the standard ground beef grind when you can mix quality meats (a secret blend) and top it off with Stilton (cheese people, cheese) and a Mushroom Cognac Cream? In the company of such flavors you can't wrap that masterpiece with any old regular hamburger bun -- no, no, you present it on a Challah Bun... and there you have it -- Burger Masterpiece like no other!
Finish the experience with the Lemon Cream Chantilly- Lemon Tart dessert.
I look forward to enjoying the Brady Tavern again in the near future. And by the way, the service was just as memorable.
