To-Do List: Restaurants!

Oh, hey. It's me again. Your favorite ultra sporadic blogger.

At the beginning of 2013 I made a list of OKC restaurants that I wanted to visit before the end of the year. I only made it to 19 of the 34 on the list, but that's better than nothing, right?

Below is a list of places that have rolled over from last year.

Here's where I need your help: what other restaurants/bars/coffee places should be on the list?

Thank you, thank you!

Eischen's
Saint's
Mutt's Hot Dogs
Mama E's
Tucker's Onion Burgers
Cafe du Brasil
Kitchen 324
Cafe Kacao
Rococo
Stella
Sauced
Ingrid's

This (Oklahoma) City That I Love



I've lived in the Oklahoma City area for nearly a decade. It's no secret that I struggled for quite some time with allowing myself to love the area. Just when I'd begin to refer to OKC as "home" I'd compare it to my former hometown, and as most of you know, comparisons can be a slippery slope to discontentment.

Moving on - Somewhere in that ten years, and after I got over my stubbornness, I developed a love for OKC. I mean, how could I not?
I am guilty of overlooking OKC's greatness more often than I would like to admit, and I take for granted the fact that I live in such a blossoming hub of entrepreneurial and sports greatness.

There are far too many wonderful local eateries, shops, museums, etc... to list in this one post. Thankfully I have friends who love to explore as much as I do, so I've had the opportunity to visit several of these fine establishments. However, there are so, so many standard OKC standbys that I have never experienced.

Here's where I need your help. I've started compiling a list of local attractions I absolutely need to visit. No more putting it off. PS - if you want to join me in any of these explorations, by all means, please do!
Also, don't judge me too much by the lack of places I have visited. I'm trying!

1) Ice skating downtown (Luckily, 'tis the season!)
2) Big Truck Tacos (I know, I know. It's completely inexcusable that I haven't been here)
3) Mutt's Hot Dogs
4) Iguana's (Again, inexcusable)
5) Cheever's
6) The Wedge
7) Paseo Grill

So, basically it's inexcusable that I haven't been to any of those places, but I'm determined to try them. I will keep you posted on my progress. I'm sure you're thrilled about that!

OK, you guys. Let's hear those recommendations! Aaaand GO!
