Anyone try Oklahoma Joes over the weekend?

Yes, at a table of KCBS judges.   Definitely going back.

What was the judges take on it?



We also went to Big Anthony's.  Will write about each in their posting areas.

We ate at the original Big Earl's in OKC last night.  Good tender meats, but the meat was not overly smoky.  Curious if they've gone the way of pink salt like so many other chains have gone.

Hard to say.  I get to eat there once or twice a month with people taking me out to lunch.  I'm not sure they actually cook there (I-35 at Moore).  They may do the commissary thing.  Usually edible, but nothing exceptional.  They do have two sides and pickle, onion, pepper with the meal, though, unlike so many of the newbies here. 

Have you tried Dale's in Moore?  They keep moving, so it is hard to track them down, but they usually are better than Earl's.

Do you, at times, go by the name "Fancy"?

Not yet.  Think I should??  Would it help?

Naw, I'm just a mooch and a free lunch whore....

There's definitely a smoker in the one up on Western, in fact, the entire restaurant is a smoking section.  Just didn't have as much depth of smoke.

There may be one in Moore, too, just haven't paid enough attention to know for sure.
It's kind of like another chain - better than McDonalds, but nowhere near as good as Cheesecake factory.

And they don't make the cheesecakes on site at Cheesecake Factory.  When Fadler's had their grocery over across from Sam's in Tulsa, they sold the  CF cheesecakes there.

Just another pre-packaged crap factory.

The story I have been told is that everything comes out of a commissary in CA, where they started.  Whatever they do, it has always been fairly decent when we have gone there.  It exceeds my typical chain restaurant expectations.  Unlike Appleby's, Texas Roadhouse, and all those kind of 'theme' restaurants. 

I even like Panda Express for what it is.  Pei Wei is probably a little better, but still a chain.

Is that true? The ones you can get at Target and other places are not very similar to what they sell in the restaurants. Like Uno's Pizza frozen in the grocery store is not at all what they sell at the local stores (which is also not the same as what is sold in Chicago at the Original Uno's and Due's)

I was told the ones at Fadler's were the ones they provisioned for the Cheesecake Factories in the area.  The Fadler's Grocery had a lot of items from their provisioning business.
