Ricardo's - A Tradition Since 1975?

On a recent trip to Tulsa, the same one involving the infamous Cheddar”s Buffalo Chicken Strips, I also had the “opportunity” to try Ricardo”s, a huge Mexican place established in 1975 which, according to their website, has been expanded three times.

I had a lot of hope for this place.  Having been to Oklahoma several times before, I have never, ever been able to find fault with their Mexican food.  So when I saw the sign saying the place had been in business since 1975 and when I walked into to find the restaurant was two stories, I figured I had found Mexican mecca.

Sadly, this was not to be the case.

60BAGs: Sustainable Alternative for Retailers

60BAGs are the perfect natural answer to the environment”s needs. They are biodegradable carrier bags made out of flax-viscose non-woven fabric. Its material was scientifically developed and manufactured in Poland.

Katarzyna Okinczyc (the industrial designer on the project) and Remigiusz Truchanowicz (the photographer) managed to convince the Institute of Natural Fibers in Poznan to give them exclusive rights to commercialize and distribute their invention.
