Really like the Boz (lots of meat and peppers) at Hideaway. Stuffed mushrooms are darn good too.

I like the Big Country. It's like the Boz, with lots of meat, but instead of the peppers, they add even more lots of meat. I have a weakness for the fried pickles there as well.

One of my favorites is a pretty unique dish that I get just about every time we got to Picasso. Ahi Tuna Indian Taco is delicious!

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Huevos Monteleunos (#7) at Cafe Antigua. I think this is the best dish in the city.

^If thats the thing with refried black beans smeared on a stack of corn tortillas, topped with eggs and spicy sauce, I agree its out of this world.

No BBQ on here?

IMHO, there's no great brick and mortar BBQ here. Could entirely be my Eastern U.S. raising though. I am a fan of Burn County in Tulsa if that means anything.

Only if Lexington Texas is considered local. ;+)

And the Bolo Burger at Jamil's does have a slice of smoked bologna on it. =+)

Just that hickory sauce from Johnny's. What is it???
Halibut w/spicy shrimp risotto from cheevers
Brunch burger from the pump(served on a bagle with bacon, hash browns, egg and hollandaise)
The chorizo tall twin from big truck, and the migas for that matter, omg sauce is requisite.
Presidential special at cattleman's.
Ted's? If you're thinking you might die from a hangover, tortillas, cheese goop, and atomic will save your life.
FINAL: P11 and A2 from Pho Lien Hoa...order extra meat if you're feeling froggy.

Nope. Northern Alabama/Georgia/East Tennessee. Where Kraft got it's idea what barbecue is, but much, much better. We do whole hogs too, but that love is much sweeter, yet not sticky sweet.

I forgot about Papa Dio's, and if you haven't had the JRW plate, you haven't lived.

Speaking of the Steak Sandwich Supreme at Del Rancho (which I have always loved) I recently had one at the 50th and MacArthur location and it was pretty bad.

Tender but over cooked, flavorless and extremely dry.

Hope I just caught them on a bad day but it was really disappointing, especially since they aren't cheap.

Saw someone mention Kitchen 324 for Chicken Pot Pie.... In addition I also go to Paseo Grill and Kamps 1910 for the pot pies.... Kamp's refers to theirs as Hobo Pie.

In Norman but the bacon cheeseburger pizza from Pizza Shuttle is one of the best pizzas I have had. They use raw hamburger on the pizza instead of preprocessed hamburger pellets.

I always get that to go when I go there and I have to add extra mayo and lettuce when I get home. True that it's not cheap, but there aren't a lot of options for better steak sandwiches around.

Yes, way, way too dry.

I want to try Chuckhouse's version, as I love their CFS platter.

The breading to meat ratio was great and it was well seasoned.... I added jack cheese to it also.

The "Horseshoe" at the drum room is awesome. Its suppose to come with beef but I substitute chicken on it.. so its a waffle with the chicken fried chicken, Steak fries, Cheddar cheese and cream gravy.. so good.. and too much for one person.
