News on NW 9th?

Was by the Iguana today and noticed that across 9th Street is a sign that S&B Burgers (currently on North May), known for its delicious greasy burgers, is hiring. The sign was directly in front of an old brick building (I think) that I'd previously heard was "perfect for a burger joint."

So I'll put two and two together. Is S&B either moving or opening a new location on NW 9th? If so, that could be a huge success. Already a decent following, plus a really well-suited business model for the 9th Street crowd.

Hideaway opening

Don't forget, the new Hideaway is opening on Automobile Alley today (8th and Broadway) and ALL of their sales from today (not just profits) will be donated to Eugene Fields Elementary, a nearby OCPS school.

Coming home.

Back in Sweden for a week before coming back to good ol' OKC. It will be interested to see how surprised I am by all the changes that have happened in OKC. Will definitely need to plan a day to spend in the new Myriad Gardens. But what I miss the most are the restaurants and diners that serve up that extremely greasy and fattening food that Okies are known for.

God I just want some good food. Hideaway Pizza with ranch sauce, a Nic's burger, a chicken fried steak from Anne's, some 'que from Iron Starr, and so on. This is what is on my mind. Can you blame me?

Cityshot XLIII

The Montgomery in the Arts District. Building was empty and then in 2005 converted to high-end apartments (that were much more successful as apartments than condos) and restaurant. I'm going to have to eat at Trattoria il Centro when I'm back.

Iron Starr Campus Corner / Norman Arts Council

Iron Starr Urban Bbq sent me an email about a promotion they've got going on at their Campus Corner Norman location. I would encourage people, when hungry for some 'que, go support a local business AND local arts simultaneously..plus it's one of OKC's best bbq joints. County Line, Earl's, Bad Brad's, Iron Starr--you take your pick of the best, but they're right in there.
