[QUOTE="OKNewshawk, post: 3526299, member: 6592"] Since I've only been in Tulsa for seventeen years as of this month, I don't have any memories of some of the older restaurants everyone has talked about. The one I miss is the Five and Diner that used to be next to Route 66 Harley Davidson on Memorial Dr. It was in the shape of a classic chrome diner and always reminded me of the diner in the town I grew up in at the Jersey Shore. Just like that diner, the Five and Diner served the best club sandwiches in Tulsa, maybe in Oklahoma. What was their secret? layers upon layers of turkey, cut thin. To me, a great club sandwich is one that you have to plan how to eat because the quarters are too big to just fit into your mouth. If a club sandwich is only about two inches thick, its too small. The Five and Diner didn't skimp. The other plus was they didn't add cheese to the recipe. Club sandwiches do not have cheese! I hadn't heard that the Five and Diner was closing until after the fact. It seemed that Route 66 Harley needed space to expand. since they owned the land, IIRC, they just cancelled the lease for the diner and tore it down. Tulsa has been a poorer place for a club sandwich connoisseur like me since then. [/QUOTE]
