Welcome everyone to the Oklahoma Breakfast Beat!
My name is Jason and no I'm not an Oklahoma native. I moved here a little over a year ago from California and I've been doing my best to learn about the local happenings ever since. My breakfast eating and periodic blogging companion is BJ, an Oklahoma native and a man whose become a great friend during my first year in Oklahoma.
We began discussion over the past few weeks after Mom's diner in Stillwater closed down. For those of you familiar with Stillwater and the surrounding area, Mom's diner was definitely one of the town's favorite restaurants located in a rundown building on the south end of Main Street. Almost from my first week in Stillwater, BJ and I began meeting at Mom's every Saturday morning at 7am. Periodically we'd have friends join us that included Mike, Greg, Mee Ja and others. They all knew where to find us if they wanted an early morning breakfast. BJ had been eating at Mom's for years and was definitely one of the "regulars", but the waitresses soon came to know my regular order and it began to feel like home!
When Mom's closed in June, what were we to do? We were suddenly left without our favorite breakfast place. Well, we did what any good breakfast eaters would do and set out on a mission to find the next Mom's. Over the past 6 weeks or so we've started trying new places around Stillwater and the surrounding towns including Shortcakes, Cafe 33, the Morrison Cafe, Kumback Lunch diner, Granny's Kitchen and the Icehouse Bar.
It turns out that trying a new place every week has been a lot of fun, and the idea of sharing our findings just seemed like a natural extension. The goal is to make a weekly post about where we've been and rate it based on quality of food and price, and provide as many extraneous facts as possible! We may review some of our previous breakfasts, but will likely just try most of them again!
If you have any places you think we should try, let us know!
Jason
