As we stood in line at Firelake Fry Bread Taco, 1568 Gordon Cooper Dr. in Shawnee, I explained to my longtime friend Dustin that no matter how many times I try and, sadly, continue to try, I just can’t get my fry bread right. It’s always too small, too crunchy, too greasy, or too burnt. Dustin, a member of the Creek Nation, has suffered in similar ways.
I guess that makes this place—probably the perfect Oklahoman restaurant—an absolute for people like us.
