Onion Burgers and Longhorn Beef
April 26th, 2009
I’ve had two burgers today, more beef than I usually have in multiple weeks. Both were great in their own ways – first the legendary Onion Burger at Johnnie’s in El Reno, OK.
Then…. the much more famous Meers Burger in Meers, OK – featured in Hamburger America and made from grass-fed Texas longhorn cattle raised on site. Take that, kitchen farmers!
Both were well worth the brief detours they required from OKC, though Meers was a good hour. Similar to going to the Owl in San Antonio from Albuquerque.
Now its back on home for a needed chile fix.





Did you try Johnnie’s world-famous Coney Island hot dogs or their pie? They’re worth a visit in their own right.

I saw the size of the damn Coney plates – huge!
I did have a slice of buttermilk pie, and yes…. amazing.
Oh, and we brought home brisket from Meers. Wow.
