Lately, I have been taking more Oklahoma road trips to find off-the-beaten-path eating destinations.
Even if you are only getting out of the Oklahoma City metroplex and the rhythm of daily life for a few hours, with these strenuous times being what they are, it can raise the excitement of a whole summer vacation.
I thought about that last Friday when I traveled to Guthrie, Oklahoma.
Sure, the small-ish town was the birthplace of one of my worst reviews, but with a new outlook on life because of my wonderful marriage to my best friend, I decided to give a fresh try to the town and its surroundings, starting with Katie’s Diner, 120 W. Cleveland Ave.
Now, to be fair, this restaurant was a total blind experience, going in with nothing more than a name and a hunch.
As we arrived at the diner in the older part of town, the peeling paint on the building gave it a real old-time feel. It had a real rustic vibe that couldn’t be denied! And, with a banner reading “Breakfast Served All Day,” I knew we were in the right place, so we parked and came right in.
