I usually don't think of taking food photos until after I've already taken a bite or full-out devoured the entree. Sorry. Trust me, though, this used to be a really good cheeseburger.
In nearly 14 years of living in Oklahoma, I had never been to Seminole until today.
I rode there with photographer John Clanton for a story on the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum, which is awesome. But more on that a lil' later, so keep checking out the Tulsa World.
Anyhoo, as I hadn't eaten breakfast save for a Diet Coke, I was nigh to gnawing my arm off -- and may have done so, were it not for the frequency with which I use it. John, a cheeseburger fan, suggested Braum's. And as I've never had anything other than ice cream from Braum's (at least as far as I can recall), we went there.
I fully meant to see if they had a salad on the menu, and maybe they do. But as soon as I saw the words "bacon" and "cheeseburger," I couldn't help myself.
It truly was a lovely hamburger -- the best, perhaps, in all of Seminole. Quite a few people were eating burgers around us, so I assume Braum's has the mad meat hookup. Word to your mother.
Pardon the non sequitur, but an elderly gentleman ordered a small cup of ice cream and sat in the booth behind us. He opened up a big Bible, pages bent from obvious page-turning over quite a few years. And there he sat, eating ice cream and studying the Bible. It would've made a sweet picture, but I make a rule not to whip out my camera phone in small towns I've never visited before. Like my mamaw always said, ya just never know who has a hangup about having their soul stolen via camera flash.
But back to food. So who really has THE best burger in the Seminole metroplex? Or maybe the best burger in ALL of Oklahoma? Let me know, I feel a bacon-covered sin coming on ...
Peace, love and meat hookups ... XOXO
