After my recent dalliance with the great Southern Louisiana food that I fell in love with, I had to get back to the town I love like and the daily grind of life as a small-time food critic with a moderate appetite and more moderate readership.
Looking through my restaurant recommendations, I recently heard about the non-traditional traditional Okie dining at the new Midtown restaurant Lorena, 1207 N. Walker Ave.
This new concept from restaurateur Lori Burson sits next door to her original, local favorite Stella Modern Italian Cuisine.
Lorena's “Southern Twist” moniker promised a new take on the familiar favorites of pickled okra, fried chicken, and pork belly. But out of all those, what drew me in was their cost-appropriate lunch plate, the fried bologna sandwich—a true red dirt original and the white trash specialty.
Yes, please!
