Dilly Deli is a good place to dilly dally

Okay, so it's been awhile...I'll admit, since I last shared my coffee and cuisine adventures but hopefully in the coming days I'll do better. I've been to coffee and had many a brunch and seen a silly shirt or two and now hope to recall all the nitty gritty details for the two of 'you' that read this. Monday, Feb 15th. My lovely sister Carmen asked the night before if I was available the next morning for Breakfast, it was to be a kid friendly excursion with our sister Suzanne and her four children along with my Lorelei. We were all meeting up with Carmen's friend and his daughters, along with his grandson the youngest three kids all 2 days to 2 months apart... needless to say, with 6 kids, all under 6 years of age, brunch had to be at a family friendly place. Enter Dilly Deli it is a wonderful Brunch place located in Tulsa, Oklahoma at 2nd & Elgin, Downtown. I haven't had biscuits that good since my Dad used to make them for us when I was a kid, that was a long time ago. No one makes good biscuits, and I've been looking. Some places make 'okay' biscuits but mostly I get toast, because the only thing you can do to ruin that is to burn it. The Food: What can I say? it was amazing! it was as good and some things better than what I make at home. [and let me tell you, I'm no greenhorn] I'll let a few of their own Menu discriptions speak for themselves.

THE JED

A cinnamon roll as big as your head! This is one big mama.

[This is not what I ordered but I'm getting it next time!!! it looked amazing and I'm sure it was as big as Jed's head]

FONTAINE

Your basic breakfast crew: two eggs - any style, home fries, bacon, sausage or ham steak, with toast or a biscuit to round it out. [I ordered the Fontaine, with ham steak, Eggs- over medium, and a Biscuit. I also ordered a side of gravy, because "Who doesn't like gravy?" and I wanted to revisit the 'biscuits & gravy' of my childhood. It was a good visit and I hope to go back. ]

SPECIALTY PANCAKES

THE G-PA: 2 homemade buttermilk pancakes

SIMON: 2 Heath Bar, banana & caramel pancakes

MEL & NORMA: 2 chocolate chip pancakes

SWEET CAROLINE: 2 strawberry shortcake pancakes

BECK: 2 M&M pancakes

[The M&M pancakes were a unanimus vote for the three oldest kids; they usually pick the same thing but besides that fact i'm pretty sure they'd still pick these although I might have gone for the 'Sweet Caroline' or even the 'G-PA' myself, but I'm content with my choice and given the smiles on their faces, I think they were too. ]

OMELETTES

All omelettes come with potatoes and a side of bread

THE BIEHLER: our Denver omelette - onions, peppers, ham & cheese

CHRISTINE: just ham & cheese, please

HEIDI: tomato, spinach & feta cheese

DRU: bacon, ham, sausage & cheese

["Can I have an Omlette please? " "Which one?" "all of them! They all sound so yummy I just might need to try them all"] The Decor: Well, there wasn't much to speak of. The walls were painted a limy-minty green, the floor- cement, the chalkboard- full of fun pictographs, a pastry case with cinnamon rolls and other great things, and big wooden tables, with small bistro tables and a lovely mish-mash of chairs, oh and a wonderful bunch of cooks and servers... I like it,a lot but with one caveat... the coffee- it was too strong, bitter and kinda yucky...go to Doubleshot at 18th & Boston for coffee and stick to the orange juice here! it's way better.
