Favorite local "unusual or strange" food eatery

[Brandi]

I was watching some food show that was discussing restaurants serving new, unusual, strange or otherwise funky (good funky) foods and it occurred to me that such places may exist here (OKC in my case) and I never even knew it. So not having any way to really find these places, if they exist, I ask the OSA'ers to share any place they know of but also what they liked best there.

We're not talking steaks, fried chicken or spaghetti, that's pretty common table fare. I'm thinking stuff like sea urchin, goat meat tacos or crispy pig ears...you get the picture. Does this unusual food exist here in the city, and if so, where is it and what did you think of it?

Local, Lamb fries at Cattlemans,
I've been blessed with travelling the world with the Military, business, and pleasure, and I could do an Andrew Zimmerman show. There is nothing I won't try within reason, and insects have been on the plate.....cooked, and raw.

Any of the good taco trucks in S. OKC and mid OKC will serve lingua (cow tongue) tacos. Fung's Kitchen has a B menu that's written in English that has their authentic chinese menu, which is full of awesome authentic cantonese food that beats the crap out of the Americanized crap that comes frozen and served in most Chinese restaurants and buffets. They range from roast duck, crispy pork, beef and flat noodles in black bean sauce to "weird" things like their fried frog legs (really good) and jellyfish, ect. Tokyo Sushi in north OKC has some authentic sushi from your traditional nigiri to sea urchin.

I was of the "ewwww bait" crowd till I was forced to try it and found that I really enjoy most of it. To the point that I don't really consider it unusual food. It's pretty common these days, even in OKC.

I've tried the lamb fries at Cattlemens, they were pretty good. Better than the steak they serve but that's another story.
