One down, 999 more to go

While in Oklahoma, we got to check something off of the "1000 Things to See Before You Die" list. After a morning of chasing prairie dogs and buffalo, we headed to famous Meers' Burgers.

The thing that makes Meers' so special is that they raise their own beef. I will grant you, the burger didn't taste like I expected (or initially even wanted) it to, but that is b/c I've probably never had such fresh ground beef before in my life. No doubt, it was delicious, but it was different. Different was defnitely a good thing in this case! Ray and I split a Seismic Burger (as did M&M) and Tru had all the yummy fried goodness he could handle. Like his Mama, the fried okra didn't appeal much to him but cheeseburger, fries, onion rings and some of the best fried green tomatoes ever made sure no one went home hungry!

Heading in the front door. In Oklahoma, this is what a landmark looks like! It was rambling and ramshackle inside. One could easily expect to see prospectors and miners dusting off for lunch and drinking their sweet tea from giant mason jars.

This is the last quarter of our Seismic Burger. Yes, that is a pie tin. Yes, the burger took up the whole thing. It was covered in bacon, cheese, pickles, relish, mustard, and onions. We held the jalapenos. The onion rings were better than good and while I didn't have any of the fried okra, everyone else said it great!

Meers is not just a box on a pop culture check list. It is also a national historic site.

Turtle was a very tired little boy buy the time we got to Meers. Tired = wired for our boy, but he would sit and eat as long as it was on Mike's lap. Luckily for Tru, Mike didn't mind.
