TAHLEQUAH DAILY PRESS — From time to time over the years, the Tahlequah Daily Press has published recipes and even a food-related column. But until a few months ago, we had never had a formal “Food” page, devoted exclusively to topics of a culinary nature.
Then, a few months ago, our publisher – who has had positive experiences with the concept at other newspapers – instituted such a page in the Wednesday Press. Setting aside a particular issue of the week for a special feature is what we in the industry call “branding.” It’s a useful tool for readers, who know they can expect a certain feature on a certain day. If they especially like it, it gives them something to look forward to! And indeed, with the Food page, that’s exactly what has happened. Many readers have told our publisher how much they enjoy seeing (and trying) recipes from other folks from this area, as well as stories and features about food-related subjects. This response, of course, spurs us to do even more on food. And that’s why we’re introducing another Food page feature, “Lunch With The Press,” beginning Jan. 23. Although the best-laid plans sometimes have to be altered, our concept for now is to eventually get around to visiting every restaurant in Cherokee County, reporting on one each week until the cycle is complete. The idea is to help our busy readers selected the best places for lunch – which could change day to day, depending upon circumstances, schedules, moods and budgets. We’ll tell you where you can find quick service, friendly and helpful staff, and the best meal deals for tight budgets. We’ll describe what we eat when we’re there, and mention a few other items on the menu that other customers seem to favor, or that are considered specialties of the house. In some cases, we may tell you about the atmosphere and ambiance, the crowds, daily specials, and what else you might do while eating. We’ll tell you the location and the hours, and we’ll top it off with photos – perhaps of the building, but sometimes of the staff or the cuisine. We fully expect area restaurant managers and owners to ask themselves, if not us: “When will it be my turn?” Our answer is – be patient! We’ll get to you sooner or later. We will not be able to promise specific dates as to when we’ll visit – or for that matter, what date a certain “review” might appear. But naturally, if you’d like to put a bug in our ear and remind us you’re out there, e-mail us at news@tahlequahdailypress.com. And those of you who are frequent customers of local restaurants can participate, too. Drop us a line about what you especially like about your favorite restaurants – whether it be the price, the atmosphere, or a certain dish. We’ll include that in our upcoming reports.
