My Non-Dallas Favorite Restaurants
Why yes Bo, I have been known to leave the beautiful city of Dallas on occasion. I've even left the great state of Texas once or twice. So as you requested, here are my favorite non-Dallas restaurants.
* The Hideaway (Stillwater, OK): Some of the best pizza in the world. Also famous for their fried mushrooms, though why people like to eat fungus is beyond me.
* The County Line (Austin or El Paso, TX; Oklahoma City, OK): Outstanding Barbeque. It's amazingly good. You can also get Cadillac Style, which is when they bring you all you can eat of basically every type of barbeque and fixin (you know, potato salad, cole slaw, beans, etc.) your little heart could desire. Great great place.
* Magaritas (Liberty Hill, TX): My favorite Mexican restaurant. Food is outstanding, and their salsa is so good I actually bring it back to Dallas with me whenever I go to Georgetown.
* Elmo's Diner (Corpus Christi, TX): Fantastic little diner right off of Ocean Blvd (yes, Ocean Blvd runs along the Ocean). Milkshakes are incredible.
* Freddie's Steakhouse (Drumright, OK): Probably the best steakhouse I've ever been to. And even if you don't like cabbage, try the cabbage rolls. The stuff on the inside is AWESOME.
* Ron's Hamburgers and Chili (Owasso, OK): Now, there are Ron's all over the place. Most of them suck. The one in Owasso, however, is fantastic. Terrific chili, great fries, awesome burgers. Try it if you ever get lost and end up there.
* Godfather's Pizza (Ardmore, OK; Houston, TX; Wichita, KS): Without question the best pizza chain, and quite possibly the best pizza in the world. When I was a babe, they had Godfather's in Dallas. Unfortunately, it went under when I was still very young. Just talking about it makes me want to go visit Jennifer and Miguel Jose up in Wichita. Umm...to see them, of course. ;-)
* The Hush Puppy (Texarkana, AR): Unfortunately, this place is no longer with us, because it is in the middle of fricking nowhere. It was some of the best catfish I've ever had in my life, though.
* TLC (Texarkana, AR): At least I think it's on the AR side. Is it the best chili burger I've ever had? It's them or Ron's...I'll just have to keep trying both and get back to you on that :-D
Check back tomorrow kids and I'll do my WORST restaurants (anywhere).

I gotta say Godfather's is thumbs down. Maybe it's cause Tony worked there and brought pizza home all the time and I still have nightmares about the amount of grease and nastiness of it.
I miss Freddie's ... it is truly a great steakhouse.

Freddie's was alright; I've had better steaks. Really, though, I still can't get over the way we were treated that night with the "table limit" on buy one get one free cards. It still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
