LMAO, I can't believe I forgot that (I graduated from Will Rogers High School in Tulsa....). Yes, the Will Rogers Museum is a cool place.

Ok, I've spent this time talking up Elmers, I felt that I'd better let you all in on the BEST BBQ I have EVER had. Unfortunatly, it is 90 miles to the NW of Tulsa in Ponca City, OK.

I worked in the music biz for 17 years (sound engineer). During that time, I did sound for a private birthday party for a very wealthy family. A company named Head Country BBQ http://www.headcountry.com/ catered it. I have been hooked ever since. Their BBQ is unbelievable, their list of championships, including a WORLD championship is testament. Even if you can't make it up there, do yourself a favor and stop in to most any Oklahoma grocery store and pick up some of their BBQ Sauce. It's the only sauce I will ever use and order it by the gallon off their webpage!

It's not there any more. Last week, when I drove by it had been torn down and they were building something else in its place.

The closest I have come across is Scottsburg on the way to Louisville but if I've driven that far I just drive a few more miles to KingFish.

Indeed, all of the Sonic Drive-In's went "out" a little while back. That did include the one in the Castleton area. I used to go there every so often for lunch. It's a good place and we hit it up quite a bit last year. Mmmmm!

The Rib Crib is mighty tasty, so Elmer's must be pretty good!

Cheddar's is usually a regular stop while we're out in Tulsa, too. They have really good food and nice portions. A great lunch stop.

I don't think you can ever go wrong with Johnny Carino's. I hit up the one in Muncie quite a bit.

Ahh, I'm going to miss it. Good times and good food...
