A reader asked this question of Scene editor Ashley Parrish, who passed it along to me:

"Does anyone know why so many BBQ places in Tulsa (and surrounding area) offer tabouli as a side dish?"

I never thought much about that, but I don't know, either. Unlike a lot of steakhouses, barbecue joints rarely are owned by someone with a Middle Eastern heritage.

I have, on occasion, seen tabouli in American-style diners and even hamburger joints, sometimes in place of coleslaw.

If anyone has a logical answer to the question, please let us know.
