Can you say "ONION BURGER?"

 For all of you that in years gone by have enjoyed Zio's Italian in Bricktown.  Well guess what!  Norman is getting their own Zio's!  Good stuff!!!!  It's on 24th Avenue N. W. right across the street from Target.  It should be open in a couple of weeks.  It is a few door down from the soon to be opening 5 Guys Burgers and Fries.  So you can have lunch at one place and dinner at the other.

 When you're up cruising around Edmond,  stop in Flat Tire Burgers. They have Classic Burgers and Specialty Burgers not to mention Fish Tacos. I tried the Green Chili Burger and it was very tasty.  They are located at 318 Ease Ayers Street Edmond.  That's a few blocks north of 2nd street and a couple of blocks East of boulevard.  Many thanks go to Harlan (Pablo's Pool Service) for telling us about this great place. Kelly swears by the Fish Tacos???  Nice Patio also!

 It's not necessarily a new place but the S & B Burger Joint does offer a wide variety for you to try.  They are located at 5929 N. May Avenue, Suite 106 in Oklahoma City.  Their phone number is 843-8770.  They also have quite a selection of Beer.  I recommend ordering a selection of sliders so you can sample several of your favorites.  If you are feeling exceptionally well when you go get a Beer float.  There's a traffic light at 59th and N. May.  S & B is located in an office building on the SW corner of that intersection.  

 There's a new place in Okla City called Mutts Amazing Hot Dogs. To get there go up I 35 and continue to the 23rd street exit.  Go West and Mutts is just past Western Ave on the South side of the street.  The actual address is 1400 NW 23rd street. They have a web address at www.mutts-hot-dogs.com.  They have a crazy assortment of ever kind of hot dog and toping you might want.  I had The Windy City and it was great.  Their fries are cooked in duck fat???? and sprinkled with parmesan and parsley.  Their hours are 10:30AM to 10:00 PM.  I went at noon and the place was a mad house. Since all of you are leading the flexible life style I would suggest going around 11AM or after 1PM.

 Hello everyone I hope all is well.  For the month of June, we don't have to go very far as great burgers are all around us in Norman.....I want to bring your attention to an old Norman establishment that has been in existence for 100 years.  It's "The Diner" located 213 East Main Street.  Next time you go in to get your hair trimmed at Midway Barber Shop (The cRc's officer clip joint next door) drop in and have some excellent food anytime of the day.  Say Hello to Clare Amspatcher as their family has run "The Dinner" for the last 17 years.  Good eats and good friends! Sit up at the grill and watch Juan move around like a well oiled machine....no wasted motion here.......remember that it was Norman's very own 'Diner" that was featured in Dives and Drive-ins, 2 years ago....their homemade chili was featured.

Their burgers are great (I had the number 4) and the chicken fry on the table next to me looked pretty good also.  They also have a new salad bar. So grab your ride and head south and visit with owner Jeff Ballard.  Jeff will make sure you get the best treatment.  Jeff is planning on putting in some outside tables so this would be a great Saturday night cruise. Hint Hint Dave!  Cafe hours Tuesday through Saturday 11am till 8pm.    NOTE: BALLARDS IS NOW CLOSED AND THE BUILDING IS FOR SALE...December 2011
