Living in a state that wears its pulse-pounding corpulence like a triple-XL badge of honor, many times it seems as though starving Okies will often end up choosing quantity over quality and, in these trying times, who can really blame them?
Like the chubbiest of cherubs sent from heaven, Yukon’s Miller Grill has heard your bloated pleas and is making a name for themselves as one of the very few local places that loudly and proudly caters to the underwhelmed and overweight majority that wants their frybread and to eat it too, quite literally, by emphasizing a gourmet know-how that members of the clean-plate club rarely get to experience, let alone at a reasonable enough price.
Typically packed for breakfast with orders bleeding over until lunch, it seems as though most of Yukon congregates to take advantage of the Grill’s over-the-plate stacks of pancakes, the log-sized breakfast burritos or, as I would come to learn, the much-loved Chicken and Jalapeno Waffles ($8.99).
Bridging the gap between breakfast and lunch, the Millers behind the Grill wantonly and without regard deep-fry four thick-cut and freshly-battered chicken strips right in front of patrons while simultaneously prepping these Ultimate Frisbee-thick waffles that are just decadently infused with fresh jalapenos in every single bite. Once plated, a liberal amount of powdered sugar is sifted on top of the entire thing, to great effect.
