I’m really starting to love food trucks. At one time I was a little uncertain about them but over the past few years I have found some amazing food. One that has quickly become a favorite is The Tater Coop.
I first heard about them from my daughter, Miss Mae. She told me how good it was and if I ever saw them, I needed to try their fries. Last year at the El Reno Onion Burger Day I got my first chance. They have an extensive menu of toppings for their fries, but I wanted to try the garlic parm dill-uxe. All they do are fries are fresh potatoes that have been twice deep fried, so they are a perfect consistency for toppings. On top of the box of fries for the garlic parm dill-uxe, there is a roasted garlic sauce, shredded parmesan, shredded mozzarella, chopped bacon, ranch dressing, with a dill pickle relish. This has become my go-to order every time I see them at an event and I love every bite. Each fry ends up with an explosion of flavors. I can’t explain why, but it all works.
The Tater Coop has been travelling the state since February 2024. The best way to find out where they will be is to follow them on social media. I give them 5 strips of bacon.
Memorial Day weekend, time to honor those who have passed before us, no matter if they served or not. Farmers markets, rodeos, and my favorite, the Route 66 festival in Bethany. Be careful and have fun.

Sitting on the north side of Pawnee, on State Highway 18 heading north out of town is an awesome burger place to not skip. I came across it while driving through town a few years ago but didn’t stop. Just recently I was in Pawnee again and had a chance to enjoy dinner at Ranch Burger.
It was a nice Saturday afternoon when we stopped in, it wasn’t very busy yet. We started with lasso fries. These are curly fries with fried onions and jalapenos mixed in, served with ranch. While I got the standard bacon cheeseburger, Big K went with the Pawnee Bill burger with a side of onion rings. It didn’t take long for our food to be served. Everything was amazing. I totally fell in love with the lasso fries, Just can’t go wrong with fried onions and jalapenos mixed in with the potatoes. The burger was also amazing. Toasted bun with American cheese, bacon, and lots of fresh veggies. It was a glorious mess to eat but only the best burgers are. The Pawnee Bill burger was also a mess, with ham, bacon, American cheese, fried egg, and also lots of fresh veggies. Big K enjoyed every bite. The onion rings he had were also good, just a standard onion rings.
I think Ranch Burger gets overlooked in Pawnee because Click’s Steakhouse is 2 blocks south. It was getting busier as we ate. I will definitely stop again when I’m in that direction. I’m giving them 5 strips of bacon along with some lasso fries.
Another great weekend to get out and enjoy events around the state. Lots of car shows, rattlesnake hunts, and the lights are being turned on the Chrysler Tower in Bristow. So pick something fun to do and get out of the house.

I have been hearing about Sun Cattle Company for quite a while now, supposed to be some of the best burgers in town. We were in the area and decided to stop to give them a try.
First, my biggest issue is the parking situation. There is a parking lot behind the building but you have to pay. During the week, the curbside parking is also pay, if you can find a spot. At least it was a Saturday afternoon but we still parked two blocks away. After our short stroll, we did walk right up to the counter to order. Since it was my first visit, I went with a simple cheeseburger. Big K of course had to have the biggest burger, the Big Jack. I also got an order of their onion rings while Big K chose the chili cheese crowns. We got our order pretty quick. I was pleasantly surprised how big the onion rings were, gigantic. I started on them immediately, they were incredible. Thick pieces of onion dredged through a black pepper batter and perfectly fried. They were the best onion rings I have had in a long time. The burger was good as well. Meat was perfect with a nice char along with plenty of fried onions mixed in on a toasted bun. Big K was thoroughly enjoying his order. He wolfed down the chili cheese crowns, I had a bite and they were good as well. He did love the Big Jack, compared it to the MotherTucker at Tucker’s.
We had a great visit, other than the parking. Sun Cattle Co. has been in the Film District for a couple years now and I can understand why they have been successful. While you are in the area, you can walk around the historic district. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, the Film Exchange Historic District has a lot of Art Deco buildings still standing. I will give them 5 strips of bacon, preferably on a burger.
