Just curious what your favorite local places to eat are? Here is an ever evolving top 10 list to get the discussion started:

1. Pepe Delgado's - traditional Mexican (Norman)
2. Tarahumara's - TexMex (Norman)
3. Republic Gastropub - Bar food, burgers (OKC)
4. Hideaway Pizza (several locations)
5. Victoria's - Italian (Norman)
6. Iron Starr - BBQ (OKC)
7. Park Harvey Sushi (Downtown OKC)
8. Big Truck Tacos - TexMex (OKC)
9. Iguana - TexMex (OKC)
10. Cheever's - Southwestern (OKC)

I lived in Norman for 8 years, Edmond for 1 year, and I have lived in Midtown OKC for the last 6 months. One thing that I have noticed is that a lot of my favorite OKC places are recently opened businesses... What did the OKC food scene look like 15 years ago?!?

Thoughts?

I bet we've crossed paths several times, especially the Hungry Frog, was a daily coffee stop for 10--12 years.

Something we agree on, love the blackened salmon and the strawberrys and spinach salad.
