Food for Thought

So I ate at Qdoba the other day and I can’t believe I don’t have it on my top 5 list. I may need to revise my list. This wasn’t the first time I’ve eaten there so I can’t believe I forgot about it and left it off of my list. I absolutely looooovvvvveee it! I always get the Queso Burrito w/steak, but I have also had it with chicken and that’s pretty good too. I get mine with out beans b/c I am not a big fan of beans, but that’s me. I also get it with salsa verde. This is the best sause. It adds flavor and a little bit of spice but not too much. Qdoba reminds me of this place I like to eat at when I visit my dad in Oxnard, California, called Taco De Mexico. In comparison Qdoba doesn’t compare, but it is the best thing Oklahoma has to offer.

The other day I was skimming through the O’Colly when I noticed there was a new restaurant in town, The Blue Cow, or so I thought it was a new restaurant. My boyfriend and I ventured down to what we thought was going to be a brand new experience; little did we know we were walking into a remodeled Johnny’s Grill. I had only been to Johnny’s once here in Stillwater and it left a bad taste in my mouth. The chicken strips were raw and everything was too expensive. So needless to say when we walked in to Blue Cow and I realized I had been duped I was pretty upset! The menu was pretty much the same. They still had the theta burger and the hickory burger, but no chicken strips! The menu is pretty simple with few options. The prices had dropped, which I was pretty happy about. I also believe they added more desserts; more shakes, malts and ice cream. This go round the food was actually a lot better. I had a regular hamburger with onion rings and my Cole had a blue cheese burger and fries. We both really enjoyed our food, the only complaint we had was the burgers are on the small side. So I suggest ordering yours double-meated!

So if you were a fan of Johnny’s and you were sad to see it go, you’re in luck because it’s still here. It just received a face lift!

I love birthdays! I love everyone’s birthday, especially when I go to dinner with someone on his or her birthday and they are completely humiliated by the wait staff!  Recently I went with my friends Katie, Jared and Jenny to eat for Jenny’s birthday. We went to Alfredo’s Mexican Restaurant in Yukon. Alfredo’s has delicious food!

The chips and cheese sauce are great and the tortillas are homemade. I always get the same thing, Lupe’s traditional tacos with fajita meat with a side of green salsa. If they bring this dark green junk don’t eat it! It is disgusting. They have special green salsa that the chefs use, it is bright green and some of the wait staff calls it tomatillo sauce.  The tacos are superb!

It was Jenny and Jared’s first time at Alfredo’s and they both loved it. They both had chicken quesadillas and it was more then they could eat. Katie had a regular taco and a tostada. She also enjoyed her food. The prices are very reasonable. I can’t say enough good things about Alfredo’s especially their birthday special!

I told our waiter it was Jenny’s birthday and they brought out this giant sombrero for her to wear.  The rest of the wait staff came out and sang Happy Birthday in English and in Spanish! It was a hilarious! I’ve posted a picture for your viewing pleasure!

This is Jenny on her 24th birthday…a little hung over!!!
