I don't watch this channel because of the reactions you do. I watch it because of the people you are. You are so kind, and adventurous! Your uploads are a GREAT part of my day! Thank you.
As an Oklahoman, it warms my heart to see yall enjoying local food. Oklahoma is known for how nice its people are and it seems like you experienced it! Comeback in September and do a state fair food tour!
According to Navajo tradition, frybread was created in 1864 using the flour, sugar, salt and lard that was given to them by the United States government when the Navajo, who were living in Arizona, were forced to make the 300-mile journey known as the "Long Walk" and relocate to Bosque Redondo, New Mexico, onto land that could not easily support their traditional staples of vegetables and beans. To prevent the displaced Native Americans from starving, the United States government provided a small set of staple food items, which included the ingredients with which to create a simple quick bread which was cooked in a pan of hot lard over coals and became known as frybread. The food eventually spread to other tribes. Boarding schools also helped to spread frybread in Native American diets.
Glad I read this. This also explains why they are called Indian Tacos in many parts of the country. I remember the Chickasaw Tribe used to sell them at college for fundraisers. Was always one of my favorites.
We're called Oklahomans or Okies. Indian tacos are great. Fry bread on it's own is also really good with honey. I'm part Yuchi (Euchee) and a citizen of the Muscogee Creek Nation. I love fry bread, I just don't eat it very often. My favorite place for fry bread is a place called "Restaurant of the Cherokees" in Tahlequah. It's near the Cherokee Nation tribal capital. Best fry bread in the state, just don't tell my mom I said that.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's amazing to hear about your connection to your heritage and your favorite spot for fry bread. The Cherokee Restaurant sounds like a must-visit! We will definitely look into visiting it in the future.
@@thebritstry Y'all are very welcome. I got the name of the restaurant wrong, it's actually called "Restaurant of the Cherokees". If y'all do decide to visit Northeastern Oklahoma (called "Green Country") there are lots of great restaurants in the Tulsa area.
@@franciet99 Oh no! No, it's been a few years. That sucks, sorry to hear that it's closed. Thanks for the heads up. edit: Yeah, you're right, I just found their Facebook page and it says permanently closed. :(
Hi, Okie here! If you have a chance you need to get a fried onion burger at Sids in El Reno. They are so good and such a classic. You should also go to Eischens in Okarche for some delicious fried chicken. you're also gonna need to stop at a Braums and get a burger and ice cream. The Braums dairy farm is in Oklahoma and they only put restaurants as far as their trucks can drive in a day so everything is super fresh. You must get the 'Braums sauce' for your fries. love you guys, enjoy Oklahoma!
Thanks for your suggestion and taking the time to watch! we did visit El Reno... Here is the video if you have time to watch, th-cam.com/video/CbcWUZJQaqY/w-d-xo.html
@@thebritstry Eischens is a Oklahoma classic and has some of the best fried chicken. You order it by the chicken so you would say half or whole. They also have fried okra which is also another Oklahoma staple.
I'm a Texan. That graduated High School in Oklahoma. I lived in Oklahoma for 11 years! But I was introduced to Indian tacos at the Oklahoma State Fair! Dan's Indian tacos! Then on the way out of the fair! Would stop and get a cinnamon roll! They were big and really good!
It sounds like you have some amazing memories from both Texas and Oklahoma! Fry tacos and cinnamon rolls make for a delicious combo at the fair! Thanks for watching
@@jjdogg0 I usually call OU just another Texas team! Because usually half are from Texas! But not this year, little less than 30% this year! I have a niece and her husband or a big fans of OU (well for that matter all my nieces). But we have a friendly rivalry going on! And I usually hit her with it's just another Texas team anyway! But damn it I can't use it this year!! Lol You stay safe my friend!
The fry bread is really good brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. So glad you've enjoyed some treats in Oklahoma, y'all come on back any time!
I just want to personally thank you for realizing there are more states than just Texas, with great regional delicacies in all of them! Next time you're in NYC, go back for just Italian-American food. Or go for great Korean-Mexican fusion in San Diego!
I make these. They are also called Navajo or Indian Tacos. Native Americans are very fond of fry bread. My family loved these the first time I made them. Fried pastry subtly changes after cooling down. When I made an Eastern European version the flavor was actually better the next day. Samosas are the same way, better the next day, even cold. Cooled potato Samosas dipped in ketchup are delicious. It's probably lard or shortening pastry rather than butter or oil. That might be buttermilk soaked chicken. If you can find a catfish house try that. Used to be quite a few in Oklahoma. Key limes are very sour and aromatic but a Persian lime can be used with a little less sugar to make a good pie.I use just the sweetness from the condensed milk . The traditional crust for it is made from Graham Crackers.
It's not that they're "fond" of it. Fry vread was necessarily invented by them, because these were the ingredients that they were rationed by the govt, so they didn't have the components to make "regular" bread.
@@MadamMaru-gm5ff Must have been talking to different folks, most natives who talk about fry bread say they love it too much. We all know know it's not real healthy but hating it would be like hating doughnuts or beignets. All things in moderation as The Bible says.
Strawberries are our state fruit but we are known for our peaches too. There is a Peach Festival every year third week in July in Porter, Oklahoma! You can even go to the orchards there and get fresh picked peach’s and other fruits and vegetables. You can even pick your own. Wonderful little town and people are extremely friendly.
Oklahoma has the best peaches on the planet. I think that they're called Porter peaches. People drive for a hundred miles or more to get a crate of peaches. Then they take them home and can most of them and use the rest right away for baking. I'm using my mother in law as the source. She drives from Bixby, Oklahoma every year and brings back probably 12 dozen peaches. They're wonderful. Edit: Oops I was cooking. Thanks for a fantastic video!! Hugs to you both.
@@thebritstry Porter, Oklahoma is the "Peach Capital of Oklahoma". There's a place in Porter called "The Peach Barn" that sells Porter peaches and lots of peach deserts.
Sorry but having lived closer to Georgia in the past I have to disagree about our peaches being the best because I feel that the Georgia peach is better by far due to size, juiciness and sweetness with the Stratford peach a close second in juiciness and sweetness but having never had a Porter peach I am reserving judgement on theirs. When is their peak peach season? I would take a day drive from the Metro to give them a try. I absolutely love peaches.
Frybread tacos, otherwise known in Oklahoma as Indian Tacos, are a delicacy. Using the frybread from Native Americans, then putting toppings of all sorts on top makes a simple thing into something really special, I love them.
As an Oklahoman (Okie) I appreciate this video! You should look up the story behind Indian Frybread. it’s a testament to peoples ingenuity and ability to survive.
@@thebritstry I hope you got to see Buffalo while you were here! You can see them at the Tall Grass Prairie Preserve which you drive thru. You can also see them at Woolaroc which is a neat museum. There are other places too. If you go thru Tulsa there’s something you might not hear about called “the center of the universe”. It’s a circle you stand in and if you yell it echoes back to you but the people a few feet away can’t hear it or it’s very muffled. No one has been able to explain it. You can find the address online. It’s a fun little stop. In OKC you should visit the OKC bombing museum and memorial. I’m sure you’ve been recommended plenty of eateries so I thought I’d throw in a few different things. Thx for the fun videos!
Wow!!! That is amazing!! we didn't get a chance to go back in to tell your aunt that 'We loved the desserts!!" Please let her know we loved the desserts and say hi from us! Supporting local businesses like @FamilyCreations is always a joy, we would definitely recommend those sweet treats.
Oklahoma has delicious food and hospitality. I love living here. Going on 8 years plus. Wish more people will visit here. A fantastic welcoming and affordable state.
We have a surprising amount of Asian cuisine too. I love Quoc Bao off of Classen and 23rd for a cheap delicious Bahn Mi, and Kyoto in Edmond off of 15th and Bryant is a go to for Japanese cuisine, same with Cafe De Taipei for amazing sushi, and Tamashii for amaxing ramen. For local foods tho I'd say try The Mule, Agave Azul, Cheever's, S&B Burger Joint and Creperie European Cafe All very much out of the way of each other (different cities) but some of my all time favorites
I’d never seen your channel and the title caught my attention as I live in Oklahoma. I will be watching again, you guys are adorable! Also, I’m super impressed how you managed to talk about the heat here without melting to the ground ! The humidity makes 95° feel like 105°.
😆All right, my friends, to help you out on the right way to pronounce "pecan" it's "p'con". A "pee-can" is a metal cylinder full of urine. Not too hard, right? When I'm around my granddaughter, though, I call them "peckins" just to make her roll her eyes. She knows I'm half hillbilly, which makes it even funnier. I love your idea of "Ask a Local" as a possible segment for your channel, or even a second channel. I'd recommend taking it a step further, though. There are so many people out here who have a particular dish (or two) that they have absolutely mastered. Ask your subs for invites to their kitchen so they can share their recipes and cook up something special for you to try. You can find some wonderful food in America's restaurants, but great things are also to be discovered in America's homes. Glad you found some tasty treats here in Oklahoma!
Fry Bread was a staple food of tribes that were relocated fron their land to reservations or completely different states. The government did it and provided very small amounts of flour, lard, sugar and salt to the people they scattered to the winds. And, there's only so many ways to combine those ingredients into food.
LOL. I have heard Native Americans admit they like fry bread TOO much. My Kentucky family love Indian Tacos. Don't know who invented them but they are delicious.
You should also visit local farmers markets. At least here in the OKC area there are some really good ones. Scissortail Park and Downtown Edmond are 2 in mind. They have them most of the year, but usually not in the winter because it can get cold. Besides having some great fresh produce and meat booths you will see all kinds of booths specializing in baked goods, jams and jellies, bbq sauces etc... A favorite jelly of mine from Oklahoma is Sand Plum jelly. Indigenous to the cross timber region, the sand plum is a small tree that has a pinkish colored plum the size of a small cherry. Other great regional specialties are pickled okra and chow chow. Chowchow is a pickled relish with cabbage as a base instead of cucumbers.
Thanks for the recommendations! Farmers markets are such a great way to support local businesses and enjoy fresh produce. I'll definitely check out Scissortail Park and Downtown Edmond next time we are in town
I haven't been to TEZ Wingz yet, but it's 100% been on my list for a minute. Y'all made it look SO damn good haha! & Nicola was spot on with saying people from OK are Oklahomans. Hope my home state has been treating y'all well!
I used to make fried pies about once per year with my grandma. We used the same lard based pie dough recipe grandma used in all her sweet fruit pie, custard, or savory pot pies.
Born and raised okie! Welcome to our great state!!! ❤ also forget the strawberry thing. Idk where that came from I never knew that was our known by fruit 😂 but we are big peach ppl here in Oklahoma 😊
Fry Bread is the reason I would go to the Arizona State Fair -- I would have fry bread with meat and taco fixin's for lunch and then fry bread later in the day for dessert with powdered sugar and a bit of cinnamon or honey - warm of course! In Arizona we called it Indian Fry Bread which is where it originated with the Hopi Indians and Navajo tribes! It is wonderful! I make fry bread (using Masa Flour) at home - but it's just not the same as at the fair!! So good!!! There Cherokee and Choctaw Indians are from the Oklahoma area so they must have made a fry bread also. It is NOT a mexican dish for sure. Now Sopapilla's are mexican and they are also yummy! By the way - there's a reason us American hold our forks turning up - so the food stays on it and does fall off! LOL Just sayin'! LOL Those are also called Empanadas which originated in Spain and Portugal! They look the exact same and made the same way! (Different stuffings) LOL - in the US we call that pie crush! (looks delicious!!) The crumbly type crusts are most likely a graham cracker crust and graham crackers can be chocolate too... You put into a food processor and then melted butter is added and refrigerated a bit before filling with pie filling goodness!
You guys are so great… I was raised from a child until I was 13 in Arizona and Frybread was absolutely phenomenal… I had a teacher that was a native American Navajo and she took us to the reservation and it changed everything for me… I am now Floridian and I truly love that you guys enjoy everything… Keep going, Florida girl
I live in West Central Florida in Pinellas County, which is the little tiny peninsula on the West Coast… I will tell you some great restaurants to visit if you’re here grouper sandwich you have to have stone crab if they’re in season and of course Key lime pie😊
If you ever make it back to our beautiful state, Oklahoma, i highly recommend you go to The Garage in Moore and try a bison burger. They are one of the state's best hidden gems.
@@thebritstry They have a large variety of burgers. Basic to bacon cheeseburgers to mushroom Swiss burgers and everything in between. All of their burgers are available in beef, bison, or turkey.
Fry bread was a big part of my growing up. We are Wyandotte Indians from Oklahoma and we had this quite often. We cut them and turned them into a pita for meat and cheese and my mom would make them and put cinnamon and sugar on then like a donut. So delicious. It's bringing back a lot of memories. I hope you really enjoyed it
On the Cherokee Indian reservation it's called Indian fry bread tacos! They are definitely delicious! I live about ten minutes from the Res.. local slang for reservation!! In Sylva NC Love and prayers from western NC❤❤🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing your experience! fry bread tacos are such a unique and delicious treat. We loved them and We can't wait to give more versions a try!
HI!! I worked at Pie Junkie as a baker for almost 8 years. I don't work there anymore, but it was so cool to see you guys visit and hear what you thought! I can tell you that the crust on the key lime pie is made of crushed graham crackers and the same thing for the drunken turtle. I'm going to send this to the owners. They are sure to get a kick out of your feedback, especially hearing about that strawberry key lime combo! I can't wait to see where you guys visit next!
Thanks for watching, That's amazing! TEZ Wings is the real deal, the chicken was delicious, we would love to try more from, including the fish, there next time. Thanks for watching
Indian Tacos are the best. Period. Looks like you were in the area I grew up, by that Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies around 50th and Portland. You missed out on so many great restaurants in the area by a decade or so. Time just flies by. My favorite BBQ place ever Oklahoma Station (best brisket and loved their BBQ sauce). Casa Bonita, Coits (for a mug of cold Root beer), Anne’s Chicken Fry, Catfish Cabin, and even the Villiage Inn for breakfast. There used to be a diner called Larry’s a few decades ago when I was a young. I miss that place. Places you should try that are unique to Oklahoma: Chuck House - Best chicken fry in the universe Johnnies - burger with Johnie’s Sauce and onion rings City Bites - for a sub, I like the California Club Braums - Ice Cream Hideaway Pizza - Big Country I believe all of those started in Oklahoma though some might have branched into other states by now. I love watching your show and was excited you visited Oklahoma. Keep up the fantastic work. I will definitely keep watching. I hope you loved your time in Oklahoma.
Thanks for sharing your favorite spots! Oklahoma has such a rich culinary scene, and we'll definitely have to check out those recommendations next time we are in the area!
Indian tacos are so good! In our family we do a fried dough night about once a year. We use all kinds of toppings: sloppy joes; butter, cinnamon and sugar; jelly, honey, etc.. And fried dough also makes for a good ice cream sandwich believe it or not.
@@thebritstry that’s sweet of you to comment! Y’all are two of the kindest, cheeriest, most positive people on TH-cam. I speak for all of us when I say the time and effort you put into your videos is appreciated!!! Have a blessed day!
Okay. Indiana - Roast Beef Manhattan Pork Tenderloin Sandwich Sugar Cream Pie (also called a Hoosier Pie) Butterscotch Pie Persimmon Pudding Beef & Noodles over Mashed Potatoes (or Chicken & Noodles). Popcorn (we are the masters of popcorn - Just Pop In is a brand I would seek out, but also the classic Orville Redenbacher...as he was from Indiana as well). Any German Sausage dish (A lot of German influence in this state because of a lot of German immigrants). Triple XXX Root Beer Square Donuts Fried Biscuits with Apple Butter You would need to see a few cities in Indiana to get them all. Indianapolis has some of them, Terre Haute, Evansville, South Bend, Bloomington, Ft. Wayne and Nashville have the rest. (yes, there is a town called Nashville in Indiana, and they have an Ice Cream place if it is still open, that is world class as well. I haven't been in a long time so I can't say for sure if it is still open or not). If you come to Terre Haute, I can even show you a couple of hidden gems.
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed list! Your passion for Indiana’s cuisine shines through, and I appreciate the tips on where to find these delicious dishes. we’ll definitely try and get to some of those soon
I grew up and lived a major portion of my life in Oklahoma. I can tell you that I have found that Oklahoma has the best tasting pecans, called Papershell Pecans ( you could crack them by squeezing 2 against each other in your hand). That crust on the key lime pie is a graham cracker crust - the usual standard crust on key lime pie. It is made by mixing graham cracker crumbs, and butter. Some even add a bit of granulated sugar in the mix before pouring into the pie pan and pressing it evenly on the bottom and side of the pan. The butter helps hold it together. I’ve eaten Key Lime Pie all over the US, including Key West, FL, and I would say that 90%of the time that pie has that kind of crust. And Key Limes have a different flavor from regular limes.
Thank you for sharing your experiences! It's great to connect with someone who appreciates the little details about food. Your knowledge about pecans and key lime pie are very helpful!
Sounds like we need to visit Arizona in the future! Thank you for sharing your preference! It’s always great to hear how people enjoy these traditional dishes in their own special way.
@thebritstry yes definitely....you can find them at the county fair here....they come both savory & sweet....it actually comes from Native Americans that were being forcefully moved onto reservations by the US Government & they were given simple staple ingredients to cook meals....Arizona has the largest Navajo Reservation in the country btw
"Credit is given to the Navajo people for creating fry bread after they were forced to make the “Long Walk” from Arizona to New Mexico. Hungry and far away from their traditional foods, they turned U.S. government rations of flour, salt, baking powder and lard into a filling bread that saved many from starvation."
You guys should try Oklahoma BBQ. It's a little bit of Kansas City and Texas BBQ but with one major twist. Only in Oklahoma can you get Smoked Bologna at BBQ restaurants. Not to be confused with a fried bologna sandwich. You can get it plain, with BBQ sauce & in a sandwich form. BBQ places here are very subjective and tribal like Texas BBQ is. If in Tulsa, I'd recommend Burnco. You can get a BBQ Bologna and another dish they call "The Fatty" which is smoke sausage surrounded by beef brisket and pulled pork. Get there early as it's similar to Franklin BBQ in Texas where they have long lines and run out of meats.
Nicola, I love your laugh! I also love that you wear that same white and red blouse so often even though you have said you worry about staining it. It's a good look for you! This is such fun and joyful content. Thanks to you both.
Oregon grows 99% of the hazelnuts produced in the US, marionberries are only grown in Oregon, Wisconsin is known for its cheese, but my son used to be a truck driver & more than once, he drove a load of cheese from Tillamook, a town on the Oregon coast, to Wisconsin. Pine State Biscuits in Portland have GREAT chicken biscuit sandwiches, Hubers restaurant has was founded in 1879 & still in business & are well known for roast turkey & Spanish coffee. Mo’s on the coast, is known for their clam chowder. Dan & Louis Oyster Bar is a seafood restaurant in Portland that’s been around since 1907. Try ANYONE of those & I’m sure you’d be happy. Not to mention there are food trucks all over & you can find fresh produce & food carts at the Portland State farmers market on a Saturday morning till about 2 or 3 in the afternoon.
Wow, you really covered all the tasty highlights of Oregon! It’s clear you know your stuff when it comes to the local food scene. Thanks for sharing these recommendations! We will hopefully get there in the future..
@@thebritstry you should look up to see if they are any pow wows around in your travels. Not only do you get to try indigenous food but you get a hell of a dance contest. It’s humbling, beautiful and fascinating. I recommend the ones in Cherokee NC on the Res, and then visit the museum and living history park.
You guys should have went to Bobo chicken 🤷🏽♀️ Geronimo’s burgers Polk house all in OKC however bobo opens on weekends only and you have to get there early because of long lines
You guys needed to try Tuckers Onion Burgers!! Oklahoma made the first onion burger. Definitely a staple when you guys visit here next time! 🫶🏻❤️ cool video!
My husband and I get one Keylime and one drunken turtle at pie junkie and each have half. If you ever come back that birddog buttermilk is fantastic and unique as well. It’s so funny you hit a lot of our favorite places here in the metro! Happy to have you and I hope you had a great time!
It sounds like you and your husband have a great taste in pies! I’ll definitely have to try that birddog buttermilk next time. Thanks for the recommendation!
You ought to work your way back to Missouri for what most people dont realize were "invented" in Missouri.. Some of which are Toasted Ravioli, Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, Peach Fuzzys and the Springfield recipe Cashew Chicken. Just look up foods invented in Missouri for more suggestions. Loving your channel!❤
We call that an Indian Taco here in OKC. I have one at the fair every year! So glad you got to taste the crack cake my aunt makes!!!!! She has the family hooked on those 😂
I'm glad you're enjoying Oklahoma! If you ever make your way to Tulsa or Bartlesville I have a few recommendations: Murphy's Steakhouse: Bartlesville, OK. Try the hot hamburger! It's super heavy food but absolutely delicious. If you're not looking to stuff yourselves full I recommend ordering a junior size if you're not sharing. Painted Horse: Bartlesville, OK. Their mac n cheese is insanely delicious. La Coshi: Tulsa, OK. Absolutely delicious Mexican food truck. Try the cochinita pibil flautas or the quesabirria tacos. Smokies: Broken Arrow, OK. Classic Okie barbecue. Try the smoked bologna! OKC also has an amazing Japanese ramen shop called Tamashii. I used to live in Japan and it's the most authentic I've found here in the states. I like going to the Edmond location because they have more space and the wait times are shorter.
I'm a fan of Masa Ramen over Tamashii, but that's almost entirely personal preference based on the atmosphere of the restaurant. The food is great at both!
I happen to have this pop up on my suggestion list. I’m from Oklahoma City. Yes the fry bread is a Fair food. At the OK, State Fair, there is a place called Dan’s Indian taco. The Fair, opened up today. I will be getting one in the next few days. If you ever stop back in OK, there is a must have hotdog place. Coney Island,hotdog. 2 locations. One down town ( not easy to find parking). The other is about 3 miles away, in what’s called Capital Hill. Better parking. I would also suggest, Cattlemen steakhouse in the Stockyards. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay in our lovely State.
It was almost painful watching y'all eat the strawberry diner pie because I love it so much. My wife and I make sure to get that seasonal slice at least once a year. If you're back in the fall, pie junkie made a cranberry chiffon pie that was unbelievably tasty and is worth the trip.
The fried bread taco is transformed into something almost transcendental in New Mexico: sopapillas compuesta. Fried bread topped with New Mexico green chile beef stew. The best Mexican food I've ever had was on the Jemez Indian Reservation outside of Alberquerque. A guy was selling Navajo Tacos on the side of the road cooked over a charcoal fire in a five gallon metal bucket half filled with sand. It was sopapillas compuesta. So good!
Thank you for sharing your delicious experience! It's amazing how food can create such memorable moments. It sounds amazing, we will have to try that for ourselves in the future
If you can find a local selling pumpkin bread ( and or pumpkin pie ) usually Halloween thru Christmas, thats a must try! Also, banana bread, zucchini bread, I can go on and on😂 sorry, for so many comment!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I love hearing about all the delicious options out there. Your enthusiasm for these seasonal treats is contagious! Thanks for watching!
The Key Lime pie crust is made of graham crackers. The main ingredient in graham crackers is graham flour. While graham flour is a type of whole wheat flour, it's a bit different from what's packaged and labeled as whole wheat flour. They crumble the crackers, add sugar and butter, and pressit into the pie tin. It's a popular crust for cheesecake too.
Key Lime pie is my absolute favorite! Key limes are native to Florida but if you can get your hands on some, you can make an authentic Key Lime pie. The base is made with graham crackers mixed with sugar and butter. Stupendous! Now I need to know where that pie shop is, please!
I grew up in Oklahoma. They’re really called Indian tacos because many of the native American tribes make Frybread and top them like a taco. The fry bread is also good hot with honey on it. and yes, Indian tacos are one of the most famous food items at the Oklahoma state fair.
Devoted is a little family owned restaurant in the back of Crepe Myrtle Asian market in Stillwater, Oklahoma. They sell spam musubi at the front counter of the market. Inside Devoted, the handmade pork and crab dumplings and first date chicken wings are amazing appetizers. The tonkatsu ramen is the best on the menu.
Arbuckle Mountain! I stumbled upon this place after a night in OKC on tour (shoutout SUNFO and the Sanctuary!). 8 of us piled in there for breakfast and they couldn't have been any nicer while we just feasted. So glad you guys stopped in there!
Welcome to OK! It's so great to see y'all visit, because a lot of people assume there's nothing here and just skip us! Arbuckle Fried Pies was a childhood staple of mine, and Pie Junkie is so amazing! I'd love to see y'all come back and explore around Norman and Tulsa! (I can even give you a tour of the University of Oklahoma haha)
Thank you for the warm welcome! Arbuckle Fried Pies was delicious, and we'd definitely love to revisit and explore more of Oklahoma in the future. A tour of the University of Oklahoma sounds like fun!
20:08 That's a graham (one-syllable) cracker crust. Yes, the same graham crackers you would make s'mores out of. The crackers are ground up, and sugar and melted butter are added; the pasty mixture is pressed into the bottom of the dish. Key Lime pie is _best_ in Florida, but it's not too shoddy everywhere else as long as it's actually made from key limes. Key limes have a distinctive flavor and a sublime tart:sweet ratio.
So nice to see Oklahoma getting more people traveling through. Especially to try the food. I feel like food wise many people go way south or way up east. And while we have many things the same as the south such as biscuits and gravy, Our biscuits are not sweet and most places do not give sausage gravy but regular white gravy without the sausage. We also have BBQ sauce that is tomato based where as the south uses vinegar based.
Cornish Pasties are well known in parts of Wisconsin and Michigan as immigrant miners from Cornwall came to Wisconsin and Michigan to mine ore. I’m more familiar with Wisconsin, so I’ll start with it. Wisconsin’s first big mining boom was in southwestern Wisconsin in the Driftless area (an un-glaciated area). Lead was mined there first by First Nations tribes and later by settlers from back east and European immigrants like the Cornish miners. They brought with them their culture, food, and architecture. The lead rush began in the 1840s, and many buildings built by the Cornish can still be seen in the area. Mineral Point and Dodgeville are two prominent areas to see the buildings and perhaps get Cornish Pasties. The other area of Wisconsin actually borders the UP of Michigan where Cornish Pasties are popular. Northern Wisconsin and the bordering Michigan UP was home to copper and iron mining, and Cornish miners settled in those areas as well. Any town along US Highway 2, especially towards the border with Michigan, such as Iron River, should have some places that sell Pasties.
I had a Florida Seminole teach me how to make fry bread. It's super simple. When you're in a pinch, you need kind of like a bread side it's very easy to make.
As a Native American & Oklahoman, we know fry-bread. It used to be made as a cheap, filler food but now my family makes it for special occasions :)
Thanks for sharing this information! We really enjoyed it.
Fry bread & meat pies are life! 🪶❤
I don't watch this channel because of the reactions you do. I watch it because of the people you are. You are so kind, and adventurous! Your uploads are a GREAT part of my day! Thank you.
Wow!! this comment has made us both smile so much!! thank you for making our day!!
I watch it mostly for the food😊
Go to an El Dolar taco truck! Get the salsa verde!
i agree with you sir i do the same thing some of my favorite youtubers
Yeah, they’re great fun.
As an Oklahoman, it warms my heart to see yall enjoying local food. Oklahoma is known for how nice its people are and it seems like you experienced it! Comeback in September and do a state fair food tour!
Thank you for your comment! We had an amazing time in Oklahoma and would love to come back in the future.
State fair food is crazy but delicious. It's the only reason I go.😂
Omg. State fair food is crazy, but delicious. The only reason I go. 😂

Great answer. I was coming here to mention the native connections. Very important in Oklahoma!
Glad I read this. This also explains why they are called Indian Tacos in many parts of the country. I remember the Chickasaw Tribe used to sell them at college for fundraisers. Was always one of my favorites.
Likewise in New Mexico
I think they copied the Mexicans because it's the same way you make so SOPAPILLAS just minus the powdered sugar
We're called Oklahomans or Okies. Indian tacos are great. Fry bread on it's own is also really good with honey. I'm part Yuchi (Euchee) and a citizen of the Muscogee Creek Nation. I love fry bread, I just don't eat it very often. My favorite place for fry bread is a place called "Restaurant of the Cherokees" in Tahlequah. It's near the Cherokee Nation tribal capital. Best fry bread in the state, just don't tell my mom I said that.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's amazing to hear about your connection to your heritage and your favorite spot for fry bread. The Cherokee Restaurant sounds like a must-visit! We will definitely look into visiting it in the future.
@@thebritstry Y'all are very welcome. I got the name of the restaurant wrong, it's actually called "Restaurant of the Cherokees". If y'all do decide to visit Northeastern Oklahoma (called "Green Country") there are lots of great restaurants in the Tulsa area.
@@JayEvans1911A1I’m over in Arkansas and looked up the restaurant on my maps app. It’s showing up as permanently closed. Have you been there recently?
@@franciet99 Oh no! No, it's been a few years. That sucks, sorry to hear that it's closed. Thanks for the heads up. edit: Yeah, you're right, I just found their Facebook page and it says permanently closed. :(
My girl is lakota Sioux and she introduced me to fry bread I love it
Thank you guys for supporting my family local business!
Thanks for watching!
I love the idea of a series where you ask people on the street for recommendations. You'll discover a lot of hidden gems that way.
Yeah! we need to work on a plan for this on future trips.
Hi, Okie here! If you have a chance you need to get a fried onion burger at Sids in El Reno. They are so good and such a classic. You should also go to Eischens in Okarche for some delicious fried chicken. you're also gonna need to stop at a Braums and get a burger and ice cream. The Braums dairy farm is in Oklahoma and they only put restaurants as far as their trucks can drive in a day so everything is super fresh. You must get the 'Braums sauce' for your fries. love you guys, enjoy Oklahoma!
Thanks for your suggestion and taking the time to watch! we did visit El Reno... Here is the video if you have time to watch, th-cam.com/video/CbcWUZJQaqY/w-d-xo.html
@@thebritstry Eischens is a Oklahoma classic and has some of the best fried chicken. You order it by the chicken so you would say half or whole. They also have fried okra which is also another Oklahoma staple.
As an born and raised oklahoman I'm so happy yall had fry bread. My grandma is personally my favorite
It’s also wonderful that you guys are supporting local businesses. That money truly goes back into the community
Yeah! We will whenever we can
I'm a Texan. That graduated High School in Oklahoma. I lived in Oklahoma for 11 years! But I was introduced to Indian tacos at the Oklahoma State Fair! Dan's Indian tacos! Then on the way out of the fair! Would stop and get a cinnamon roll! They were big and really good!
It sounds like you have some amazing memories from both Texas and Oklahoma! Fry tacos and cinnamon rolls make for a delicious combo at the fair! Thanks for watching
Dans was awesome! 🤷🏼 Boomer Sooners! Beat Texas! 👍🏼
@@jjdogg0 I usually call OU just another Texas team! Because usually half are from Texas! But not this year, little less than 30% this year! I have a niece and her husband or a big fans of OU (well for that matter all my nieces). But we have a friendly rivalry going on! And I usually hit her with it's just another Texas team anyway! But damn it I can't use it this year!! Lol You stay safe my friend!
Yup Dan's Indian taco stand!!!!
Sorry, my fingers were misleading me today. Sorry bout that. Oh and mears shops are all in one building. I've been here just shy of 50 years
The fry bread is really good brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. So glad you've enjoyed some treats in Oklahoma, y'all come on back any time!
That Sounds great! We have to try that in the future.. Thanks for watching
I just want to personally thank you for realizing there are more states than just Texas, with great regional delicacies in all of them! Next time you're in NYC, go back for just Italian-American food. Or go for great Korean-Mexican fusion in San Diego!
Thanks for the great suggestions! we love exploring new places and will definitely add these to our list
the problem there is texas is so huge it could be its own country lol
I make these. They are also called Navajo or Indian Tacos. Native Americans are very fond of fry bread. My family loved these the first time I made them. Fried pastry subtly changes after cooling down. When I made an Eastern European version the flavor was actually better the next day. Samosas are the same way, better the next day, even cold. Cooled potato Samosas dipped in ketchup are delicious. It's probably lard or shortening pastry rather than butter or oil. That might be buttermilk soaked chicken. If you can find a catfish house try that. Used to be quite a few in Oklahoma. Key limes are very sour and aromatic but a Persian lime can be used with a little less sugar to make a good pie.I use just the sweetness from the condensed milk . The traditional crust for it is made from Graham Crackers.
They were delicious! we can't wait to try more versions of them in the future! Thanks for watching
There are videos on how to make fry bread posted on TH-cam by Native Americans
It's not that they're "fond" of it. Fry vread was necessarily invented by them, because these were the ingredients that they were rationed by the govt, so they didn't have the components to make "regular" bread.
@@MadamMaru-gm5ff But we still make them. It's even tradition in my tribe in the Michigan UP which is nowhere near Okalhoma
@@MadamMaru-gm5ff Must have been talking to different folks, most natives who talk about fry bread say they love it too much. We all know know it's not real healthy but hating it would be like hating doughnuts or beignets. All things in moderation as The Bible says.
Strawberries are our state fruit but we are known for our peaches too. There is a Peach Festival every year third week in July in Porter, Oklahoma! You can even go to the orchards there and get fresh picked peach’s and other fruits and vegetables. You can even pick your own. Wonderful little town and people are extremely friendly.
It sounds like Porter, Oklahoma, is a fantastic place for us to visit in the future! Thanks for the suggestion
Oklahoma has the best peaches on the planet. I think that they're called Porter peaches. People drive for a hundred miles or more to get a crate of peaches. Then they take them home and can most of them and use the rest right away for baking. I'm using my mother in law as the source. She drives from Bixby, Oklahoma every year and brings back probably 12 dozen peaches. They're wonderful. Edit: Oops I was cooking. Thanks for a fantastic video!! Hugs to you both.
Wow, that's a serious peach haul! Next time we will have to find some porter peaches and give them a try
@@thebritstry Porter, Oklahoma is the "Peach Capital of Oklahoma". There's a place in Porter called "The Peach Barn" that sells Porter peaches and lots of peach deserts.
I live near Stratford Oklahoma and they have a peach festival every year in June and have the best peach fried pies
I don't even usually like peaches, but I'd kill for a Porter peach right now, lol
Sorry but having lived closer to Georgia in the past I have to disagree about our peaches being the best because I feel that the Georgia peach is better by far due to size, juiciness and sweetness with the Stratford peach a close second in juiciness and sweetness but having never had a Porter peach I am reserving judgement on theirs. When is their peak peach season? I would take a day drive from the Metro to give them a try. I absolutely love peaches.
Frybread tacos, otherwise known in Oklahoma as Indian Tacos, are a delicacy. Using the frybread from Native Americans, then putting toppings of all sorts on top makes a simple thing into something really special, I love them.
Absolutely! Frybread tacos are truly a unique and delicious food to try!
As an Oklahoman (Okie) I appreciate this video! You should look up the story behind Indian Frybread. it’s a testament to peoples ingenuity and ability to survive.
Thanks for the info! We will definitely check it out further. We had a great time and would love to come back and discover more towns and places..
@@thebritstry I hope you got to see Buffalo while you were here! You can see them at the Tall Grass Prairie Preserve which you drive thru. You can also see them at Woolaroc which is a neat museum. There are other places too. If you go thru Tulsa there’s something you might not hear about called “the center of the universe”. It’s a circle you stand in and if you yell it echoes back to you but the people a few feet away can’t hear it or it’s very muffled. No one has been able to explain it. You can find the address online. It’s a fun little stop. In OKC you should visit the OKC bombing museum and memorial. I’m sure you’ve been recommended plenty of eateries so I thought I’d throw in a few different things. Thx for the fun videos!
Thank you for coming out and supporting OKC, especially my aunt at @FamilyCreations located inside of Tez Wings MWC location. ❤❤
Wow!!! That is amazing!! we didn't get a chance to go back in to tell your aunt that 'We loved the desserts!!" Please let her know we loved the desserts and say hi from us! Supporting local businesses like @FamilyCreations is always a joy, we would definitely recommend those sweet treats.
@@thebritstry thank you again, I'll be sure to relay the message 😊
@doshiarollerson1456 Ooooo!! I'm in the Mid-Del area and we love Tez Wings!! Nice callout.
Fry Bread is a staple at Pow Wows.
Thank you for sharing that!
Oklahoma has delicious food and hospitality. I love living here. Going on 8 years plus. Wish more people will visit here. A fantastic welcoming and affordable state.
That's awesome! We loved Oklahoma and it really does have some great eats. Let’s hope more people discover how cool it is to visit there!
We are having too many people move here that don't share our values.
@@kenthefley2226 Sorry to hear this. I love it here.
@@kenthefley2226 that sucks.
We have a surprising amount of Asian cuisine too. I love Quoc Bao off of Classen and 23rd for a cheap delicious Bahn Mi, and Kyoto in Edmond off of 15th and Bryant is a go to for Japanese cuisine, same with Cafe De Taipei for amazing sushi, and Tamashii for amaxing ramen. For local foods tho I'd say try The Mule, Agave Azul, Cheever's, S&B Burger Joint and Creperie European Cafe
All very much out of the way of each other (different cities) but some of my all time favorites
Fry Bread, Fry Bread, Greasy Greasy Fry Bread. Amazing!
Thanks for watching!
haha love the Reservation Dogs reference
Oklahomans is correct; Okies, for short. Fried pies are considered finger-food. Eat them like pizza. No utensils required.
Absolutely! Fried pies are the perfect handheld treat. There was so many delicious flavors we still have to try. Thanks for watching!
My favorite fried pie from Arbuckles is the Coconut Creme. It's perfect.
Same here!!
Oh. that sounds delicious!! next time we have to try that one
Fry bread is a native American thing. Modern folks have included it into many dishes. I like it for breakfast with eggs and bacon on top.
That sounds delicious! We didn't think of a breakfast version. Thanks for sharing
27:44-27:53 Andrew is LOCKED in on that pie haha! Love at first bite for sure!
Yes!!! I think he still dreams about it!!!😂
Ive lived in OK most of my life, and I can assure you that Indian tacos are one of the most wonderful simple foods you can stuff in your mouth
They were so good! we can't wait to try more versions in the future!
I’d never seen your channel and the title caught my attention as I live in Oklahoma. I will be watching again, you guys are adorable! Also, I’m super impressed how you managed to talk about the heat here without melting to the ground ! The humidity makes 95° feel like 105°.
I really enjoy following your travels across America. You are great Ambassadors for your country. I wish you great luck with your channel.
Thank you very much! Thank you for such a wonderful comment! it has made our day
😆All right, my friends, to help you out on the right way to pronounce "pecan" it's "p'con". A "pee-can" is a metal cylinder full of urine. Not too hard, right? When I'm around my granddaughter, though, I call them "peckins" just to make her roll her eyes. She knows I'm half hillbilly, which makes it even funnier.
I love your idea of "Ask a Local" as a possible segment for your channel, or even a second channel. I'd recommend taking it a step further, though. There are so many people out here who have a particular dish (or two) that they have absolutely mastered. Ask your subs for invites to their kitchen so they can share their recipes and cook up something special for you to try. You can find some wonderful food in America's restaurants, but great things are also to be discovered in America's homes. Glad you found some tasty treats here in Oklahoma!
😂 Thanks for the clarification on 'pecans'" Those ideas a great! we will definitely have a think about it .
❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤
@@thebritstry Thinking is marvelous exercise. I try to think 2 or 3 times a week, but sometimes I'm lazy.
@@Camille_Lee_Æon 😎👍
Native American fry bread is quite good, easy to make, and very versatile. Love the channel; hope you are well!
Fry bread really was delicious! thanks for your support! We are having so much fun on these trips and we hope you are well too!!
Thank you guys for showing the world what wonderful food we have here. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and Oklahoma!
Next time you are in OKC try Tacoville. It is our best kept secret.
Also Ken's Steakhouse in Amber, Ok. Just south of OKC
We loved it and will be back in the future. We also have more videos to come from Oklahoma
I think it’s a great idea to get locals recommendations in the town. This was enjoyable but then again, I enjoy all your videos. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! we are glad you enjoyed the video! Local recommendations can really make a difference when exploring a new place.
You gotta try fresh/warm fry bread with butter and honey. Heaven.
Thanks for the suggestion! we hope to try a sweet version with honey soon!
Fry Bread was a staple food of tribes that were relocated fron their land to reservations or completely different states. The government did it and provided very small amounts of flour, lard, sugar and salt to the people they scattered to the winds. And, there's only so many ways to combine those ingredients into food.
Thank you for sharing your insight! We really enjoyed it and would love to try more versions in the future!
LOL. I have heard Native Americans admit they like fry bread TOO much. My Kentucky family love Indian Tacos. Don't know who invented them but they are delicious.
@@patricialavery8270they are super delicious. And so many different versions. The most common is with ground beef taco meat.
@@patricialavery8270 I had a Florida seminal teach me how to make fry bread. They're very fond of it.
You should also visit local farmers markets. At least here in the OKC area there are some really good ones. Scissortail Park and Downtown Edmond are 2 in mind. They have them most of the year, but usually not in the winter because it can get cold. Besides having some great fresh produce and meat booths you will see all kinds of booths specializing in baked goods, jams and jellies, bbq sauces etc... A favorite jelly of mine from Oklahoma is Sand Plum jelly. Indigenous to the cross timber region, the sand plum is a small tree that has a pinkish colored plum the size of a small cherry. Other great regional specialties are pickled okra and chow chow. Chowchow is a pickled relish with cabbage as a base instead of cucumbers.
Thanks for the recommendations! Farmers markets are such a great way to support local businesses and enjoy fresh produce. I'll definitely check out Scissortail Park and Downtown Edmond next time we are in town
@@thebritstryI need to mention these are only open on Saturdays.
I haven't been to TEZ Wingz yet, but it's 100% been on my list for a minute. Y'all made it look SO damn good haha! & Nicola was spot on with saying people from OK are Oklahomans. Hope my home state has been treating y'all well!
Oklahoma was amazing, we had a great time there.. Tez Wings was REALLY good!! That recommendation was spot on.
Hello, if no one have already said, I believe the powder on the chicken is lemon pepper seasoning.
Y’ all are absolutely delightful! I look forward to everything you post! ❤️😛🥰
Thank you so much 🤗 This comment has really made us smile!!! thanks for taking the time to share it..
I used to make fried pies about once per year with my grandma. We used the same lard based pie dough recipe grandma used in all her sweet fruit pie, custard, or savory pot pies.
It's wonderful to hear that you have such cherished memories of making fried pies with your grandma! Those traditions are truly special.
Born and raised okie! Welcome to our great state!!! ❤ also forget the strawberry thing. Idk where that came from I never knew that was our known by fruit 😂 but we are big peach ppl here in Oklahoma 😊
Thanks for the warm welcome! We really enjoyed our time in Oklahoma. Peaches definitely have their charm!
Fry Bread is the reason I would go to the Arizona State Fair -- I would have fry bread with meat and taco fixin's for lunch and then fry bread later in the day for dessert with powdered sugar and a bit of cinnamon or honey - warm of course! In Arizona we called it Indian Fry Bread which is where it originated with the Hopi Indians and Navajo tribes! It is wonderful! I make fry bread (using Masa Flour) at home - but it's just not the same as at the fair!! So good!!! There Cherokee and Choctaw Indians are from the Oklahoma area so they must have made a fry bread also. It is NOT a mexican dish for sure. Now Sopapilla's are mexican and they are also yummy!
By the way - there's a reason us American hold our forks turning up - so the food stays on it and does fall off! LOL Just sayin'! LOL
Those are also called Empanadas which originated in Spain and Portugal! They look the exact same and made the same way! (Different stuffings)
LOL - in the US we call that pie crush! (looks delicious!!) The crumbly type crusts are most likely a graham cracker crust and graham crackers can be chocolate too... You put into a food processor and then melted butter is added and refrigerated a bit before filling with pie filling goodness!
That sounds delicious! fry bread with honey and cinnamon sounds sweet and tasty!! we will have to try this next time
You guys are so great… I was raised from a child until I was 13 in Arizona and Frybread was absolutely phenomenal… I had a teacher that was a native American Navajo and she took us to the reservation and it changed everything for me… I am now Floridian and I truly love that you guys enjoy everything… Keep going, Florida girl
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's amazing how food and culture can shape our lives. Let us know if there is anything else we should try?
I live in West Central Florida in Pinellas County, which is the little tiny peninsula on the West Coast… I will tell you some great restaurants to visit if you’re here grouper sandwich you have to have stone crab if they’re in season and of course Key lime pie😊
Key lime pie is excellent. That looked very authentic.
Thanks for sharing... It was DELICIOUS!!!! Andrew still talks about it

If you ever make it back to our beautiful state, Oklahoma, i highly recommend you go to The Garage in Moore and try a bison burger. They are one of the state's best hidden gems.
Thanks for the recommendation! That sounds great. We would love to try the bison burger.
@@thebritstry They have a large variety of burgers. Basic to bacon cheeseburgers to mushroom Swiss burgers and everything in between. All of their burgers are available in beef, bison, or turkey.
If I ever get to Oklahoma I am trying the fried bread, it looks amazing!
Fried bread is definitely a must-try when you’re in Oklahoma! You won’t regret it! Thanks for watching
We would love for you to visit Oklahoma, but arrive after October 1st!
The recipe for Fry bread is very similar to an American biscuit recipe. But you flatten it and fry it.
Fry bread was a big part of my growing up. We are Wyandotte Indians from Oklahoma and we had this quite often. We cut them and turned them into a pita for meat and cheese and my mom would make them and put cinnamon and sugar on then like a donut. So delicious. It's bringing back a lot of memories. I hope you really enjoyed it
On the Cherokee Indian reservation it's called Indian fry bread tacos! They are definitely delicious! I live about ten minutes from the Res.. local slang for reservation!! In Sylva NC
Love and prayers from western NC❤❤🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing your experience! fry bread tacos are such a unique and delicious treat. We loved them and We can't wait to give more versions a try!
Also try Florence's Restaurant, Yammed fried chicken. Amazing
Florence’s Restaurant OKC
Pecan pie is my favorite!!!
Yes! We love that too! Thanks for watching!
HI!! I worked at Pie Junkie as a baker for almost 8 years. I don't work there anymore, but it was so cool to see you guys visit and hear what you thought! I can tell you that the crust on the key lime pie is made of crushed graham crackers and the same thing for the drunken turtle. I'm going to send this to the owners. They are sure to get a kick out of your feedback, especially hearing about that strawberry key lime combo! I can't wait to see where you guys visit next!
Indian tacos are definitely a staple here in Oklahoma and if you know how to make it the most easy thing to make
Thanks for sharing! we can't wait to give more versions a try!
I made fry bread from scratch once. My son had a project for school and we tried it. It was lovely 😍! My whole family loved it 😀
That's awesome to hear! Fry bread is such a delicious treat, and it's great that you and your family enjoyed making it together.
I love the fish at TEZ Wings. My brother lives in California but always asks for TEZ Wings whenever he's in town. We are Oklahomans.
Thanks for watching, That's amazing! TEZ Wings is the real deal, the chicken was delicious, we would love to try more from, including the fish, there next time. Thanks for watching
Indian Tacos are the best. Period.
Looks like you were in the area I grew up, by that Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies around 50th and Portland. You missed out on so many great restaurants in the area by a decade or so. Time just flies by. My favorite BBQ place ever Oklahoma Station (best brisket and loved their BBQ sauce). Casa Bonita, Coits (for a mug of cold Root beer), Anne’s Chicken Fry, Catfish Cabin, and even the Villiage Inn for breakfast. There used to be a diner called Larry’s a few decades ago when I was a young. I miss that place.
Places you should try that are unique to Oklahoma:
Chuck House - Best chicken fry in the universe
Johnnies - burger with Johnie’s Sauce and onion rings
City Bites - for a sub, I like the California Club
Braums - Ice Cream
Hideaway Pizza - Big Country
I believe all of those started in Oklahoma though some might have branched into other states by now.
I love watching your show and was excited you visited Oklahoma. Keep up the fantastic work. I will definitely keep watching. I hope you loved your time in Oklahoma.
Thanks for sharing your favorite spots! Oklahoma has such a rich culinary scene, and we'll definitely have to check out those recommendations next time we are in the area!
All that food looked so delicious 😋
It really was!!! Thanks for watching
Thank you guys, I enjoyed yet another fun video.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We love creating these videos, and your feedback keeps us motivated!
Indian tacos are so good! In our family we do a fried dough night about once a year. We use all kinds of toppings: sloppy joes; butter, cinnamon and sugar; jelly, honey, etc.. And fried dough also makes for a good ice cream sandwich believe it or not.
It's awesome to hear how you celebrate fried dough night with such delicious toppings! That sounds delicious and FUN!
Thank you for visiting my state. Y’all are welcome back anytime! ❤️
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I had a fantastic time exploring your beautiful state and would love to visit again soon!

You should try FUNNEL CAKE! Delicious!
Ooohh! Funnel cakes? we definitely need to find these in the future. Thanks for the idea
Late summer, early fall is when a lot of states have their state fairs. Lots of insane dishes that should not be deep fried but are extremely tasty.
Okay. Indiana -
Roast Beef Manhattan
Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
Sugar Cream Pie (also called a Hoosier Pie)
Butterscotch Pie
Persimmon Pudding
Beef & Noodles over Mashed Potatoes (or Chicken & Noodles).
Popcorn (we are the masters of popcorn - Just Pop In is a brand I would seek out, but also the classic Orville Redenbacher...as he was from Indiana as well).
Any German Sausage dish (A lot of German influence in this state because of a lot of German immigrants).
Triple XXX Root Beer
Square Donuts
Fried Biscuits with Apple Butter
You would need to see a few cities in Indiana to get them all.
Indianapolis has some of them, Terre Haute, Evansville, South Bend, Bloomington, Ft. Wayne and Nashville have the rest. (yes, there is a town called Nashville in Indiana, and they have an Ice Cream place if it is still open, that is world class as well. I haven't been in a long time so I can't say for sure if it is still open or not).
If you come to Terre Haute, I can even show you a couple of hidden gems.
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed list! Your passion for Indiana’s cuisine shines through, and I appreciate the tips on where to find these delicious dishes. we’ll definitely try and get to some of those soon
One Eyed Jack's in Winamac, Indiana for THE best pork tenderloin sandwich!
I grew up and lived a major portion of my life in Oklahoma. I can tell you that I have found that Oklahoma has the best tasting pecans, called Papershell Pecans ( you could crack them by squeezing 2 against each other in your hand).
That crust on the key lime pie is a graham cracker crust - the usual standard crust on key lime pie. It is made by mixing graham cracker crumbs, and butter. Some even add a bit of granulated sugar in the mix before pouring into the pie pan and pressing it evenly on the bottom and side of the pan. The butter helps hold it together. I’ve eaten Key Lime Pie all over the US, including Key West, FL, and I would say that 90%of the time that pie has that kind of crust. And Key Limes have a different flavor from regular limes.
Thank you for sharing your experiences! It's great to connect with someone who appreciates the little details about food. Your knowledge about pecans and key lime pie are very helpful!
Indian Fry Bread & Navajo Tacos are a big thing here in Arizona as well....I prefer honey & powdered sugar on mine
Sounds like we need to visit Arizona in the future! Thank you for sharing your preference! It’s always great to hear how people enjoy these traditional dishes in their own special way.
@thebritstry yes definitely....you can find them at the county fair here....they come both savory & sweet....it actually comes from Native Americans that were being forcefully moved onto reservations by the US Government & they were given simple staple ingredients to cook meals....Arizona has the largest Navajo Reservation in the country btw
Please try the best onion burger at NIC’s GRILL in Oklahoma City
"Credit is given to the Navajo people for creating fry bread after they were forced to make the “Long Walk” from Arizona to New Mexico. Hungry and far away from their traditional foods, they turned U.S. government rations of flour, salt, baking powder and lard into a filling bread that saved many from starvation."
Thank you for sharing that information!
@@thebritstry most welcome
You got it exactly right: Oklahomans!
It’s so wild to see you guys in a local spot! Enjoy the food!
You guys should try Oklahoma BBQ. It's a little bit of Kansas City and Texas BBQ but with one major twist. Only in Oklahoma can you get Smoked Bologna at BBQ restaurants. Not to be confused with a fried bologna sandwich. You can get it plain, with BBQ sauce & in a sandwich form. BBQ places here are very subjective and tribal like Texas BBQ is. If in Tulsa, I'd recommend Burnco. You can get a BBQ Bologna and another dish they call "The Fatty" which is smoke sausage surrounded by beef brisket and pulled pork. Get there early as it's similar to Franklin BBQ in Texas where they have long lines and run out of meats.
Watch this space!😉
I've had BBQ/Smoked bologna in several states in the South.
So much good BBQ in Tulsa. BurnCo was one of the first along with Leon’s. The other 2 good ones AlleyCat and Killerwail
Nicola, I love your laugh! I also love that you wear that same white and red blouse so often even though you have said you worry about staining it. It's a good look for you! This is such fun and joyful content. Thanks to you both.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy the content and my blouse-it's definitely a favorite of mine!
I think fry bread is best with corn meal and I have only seen fry bread at places that serve Native American food.
Thanks for sharing this information! we will have to check in future if it is cornmeal.
Oregon grows 99% of the hazelnuts produced in the US, marionberries are only grown in Oregon, Wisconsin is known for its cheese, but my son used to be a truck driver & more than once, he drove a load of cheese from Tillamook, a town on the Oregon coast, to Wisconsin. Pine State Biscuits in Portland have GREAT chicken
biscuit sandwiches, Hubers restaurant has was founded in 1879 & still in business & are well known for roast turkey & Spanish coffee. Mo’s on the coast, is known for their clam chowder. Dan & Louis Oyster Bar is a seafood restaurant in Portland that’s been around since 1907. Try ANYONE of those & I’m sure you’d be happy. Not to mention there are food trucks all over & you can find fresh produce & food carts at the Portland State farmers market on a Saturday morning till about 2 or 3 in the afternoon.
Wow, you really covered all the tasty highlights of Oregon! It’s clear you know your stuff when it comes to the local food scene. Thanks for sharing these recommendations! We will hopefully get there in the future..
Indian Fry bread with cinnamon sugar like churros is called elephant ears, and it’s my fave fair treat.
Thank you for sharing that term 'elephant ears'! We would love to try sweet versions in the future. Thanks for watching
@@thebritstry you should look up to see if they are any pow wows around in your travels. Not only do you get to try indigenous food but you get a hell of a dance contest. It’s humbling, beautiful and fascinating. I recommend the ones in Cherokee NC on the Res, and then visit the museum and living history park.
You guys should have went to Bobo chicken 🤷🏽♀️ Geronimo’s burgers Polk house all in OKC however bobo opens on weekends only and you have to get there early because of long lines
Thanks for the suggestion! we will add it to our list of places to try for next time.
You guys needed to try Tuckers Onion Burgers!! Oklahoma made the first onion burger. Definitely a staple when you guys visit here next time! 🫶🏻❤️ cool video!
We did!!! Here you go.. th-cam.com/video/CbcWUZJQaqY/w-d-xo.html
I’m loving y’all covering my home state! Thank ya! Mad love from Oklahoma!
My husband and I get one Keylime and one drunken turtle at pie junkie and each have half. If you ever come back that birddog buttermilk is fantastic and unique as well. It’s so funny you hit a lot of our favorite places here in the metro! Happy to have you and I hope you had a great time!
It sounds like you and your husband have a great taste in pies! I’ll definitely have to try that birddog buttermilk next time. Thanks for the recommendation!
Love your videos but you need to try NIC’s Grill in OKC
You ought to work your way back to Missouri for what most people dont realize were "invented" in Missouri.. Some of which are Toasted Ravioli, Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, Peach Fuzzys and the Springfield recipe Cashew Chicken. Just look up foods invented in Missouri for more suggestions. Loving your channel!❤
Or the St. Paul sandwich!
Thanks for the suggestions! Missouri has some truly unique and delicious food inventions. we’ll definitely look into more of them for future visits!
We call that an Indian Taco here in OKC. I have one at the fair every year! So glad you got to taste the crack cake my aunt makes!!!!! She has the family hooked on those 😂
Thanks for sharing about the crack cake, Please let your aunt know we Loved it!!! We wish we lived closer and we would be her best customers!!
I'm glad you're enjoying Oklahoma! If you ever make your way to Tulsa or Bartlesville I have a few recommendations:
Murphy's Steakhouse: Bartlesville, OK. Try the hot hamburger! It's super heavy food but absolutely delicious. If you're not looking to stuff yourselves full I recommend ordering a junior size if you're not sharing.
Painted Horse: Bartlesville, OK. Their mac n cheese is insanely delicious.
La Coshi: Tulsa, OK. Absolutely delicious Mexican food truck. Try the cochinita pibil flautas or the quesabirria tacos.
Smokies: Broken Arrow, OK. Classic Okie barbecue. Try the smoked bologna!
OKC also has an amazing Japanese ramen shop called Tamashii. I used to live in Japan and it's the most authentic I've found here in the states. I like going to the Edmond location because they have more space and the wait times are shorter.
Wow! Thanks for the detailed suggestions. Tulsa and the rest of Oklahoma is definitely on our list for future trips. Thank you!
I'm a fan of Masa Ramen over Tamashii, but that's almost entirely personal preference based on the atmosphere of the restaurant. The food is great at both!
You are the cutest couple on You Tube! I adore your channel ❤
We truly appreciate your kind words! It means a lot to us to get comments like this!! Thank you for taking the time to send it...
I happen to have this pop up on my suggestion list. I’m from Oklahoma City. Yes the fry bread is a Fair food. At the OK, State Fair, there is a place called Dan’s Indian taco. The Fair, opened up today. I will be getting one in the next few days. If you ever stop back in OK, there is a must have hotdog place. Coney Island,hotdog. 2 locations. One down town ( not easy to find parking). The other is about 3 miles away, in what’s called Capital Hill. Better parking. I would also suggest, Cattlemen steakhouse in the Stockyards. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay in our lovely State.
We love The Lokal in Yukon and Mustang OK! So glad you stopped by!
It was almost painful watching y'all eat the strawberry diner pie because I love it so much. My wife and I make sure to get that seasonal slice at least once a year. If you're back in the fall, pie junkie made a cranberry chiffon pie that was unbelievably tasty and is worth the trip.
The fried bread taco is transformed into something almost transcendental in New Mexico: sopapillas compuesta. Fried bread topped with New Mexico green chile beef stew. The best Mexican food I've ever had was on the Jemez Indian Reservation outside of Alberquerque. A guy was selling Navajo Tacos on the side of the road cooked over a charcoal fire in a five gallon metal bucket half filled with sand. It was sopapillas compuesta. So good!
Thank you for sharing your delicious experience! It's amazing how food can create such memorable moments. It sounds amazing, we will have to try that for ourselves in the future
If you can find a local selling pumpkin bread ( and or pumpkin pie ) usually Halloween thru Christmas, thats a must try! Also, banana bread, zucchini bread, I can go on and on😂 sorry, for so many comment!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I love hearing about all the delicious options out there. Your enthusiasm for these seasonal treats is contagious! Thanks for watching!
ARBUCKLE IS AMAZING. I LIVE RIGHT BY IT HAHA
The crust on the key lime pie is a graham cracker crust, typically make of crushed graham crackers, butter and sugar.
Thanks for pointing that out! The graham cracker crust really does make the key lime pie special. Thanks for watching!
The Key Lime pie crust is made of graham crackers. The main ingredient in graham crackers is graham flour. While graham flour is a type of whole wheat flour, it's a bit different from what's packaged and labeled as whole wheat flour. They crumble the crackers, add sugar and butter, and pressit into the pie tin. It's a popular crust for cheesecake too.
For their reference, another use for graham crackers in s’mores!!
Thanks for the information!
Thanks for sharing! it was delicious and buttery
Key Lime pie is my absolute favorite! Key limes are native to Florida but if you can get your hands on some, you can make an authentic Key Lime pie. The base is made with graham crackers mixed with sugar and butter. Stupendous! Now I need to know where that pie shop is, please!
I grew up in Oklahoma. They’re really called Indian tacos because many of the native American tribes make Frybread and top them like a taco. The fry bread is also good hot with honey on it. and yes, Indian tacos are one of the most famous food items at the Oklahoma state fair.
Or filled with sausage, pepperoni, beef, or ham with little of cheese. Yummy.
Devoted is a little family owned restaurant in the back of Crepe Myrtle Asian market in Stillwater, Oklahoma. They sell spam musubi at the front counter of the market. Inside Devoted, the handmade pork and crab dumplings and first date chicken wings are amazing appetizers. The tonkatsu ramen is the best on the menu.
Arbuckle Mountain! I stumbled upon this place after a night in OKC on tour (shoutout SUNFO and the Sanctuary!). 8 of us piled in there for breakfast and they couldn't have been any nicer while we just feasted. So glad you guys stopped in there!
We loved them too!!! It sounds like you had an amazing time at Arbuckle Mountain pies! Great to hear you enjoyed the hospitality and the food!
Thank you so very much for visiting our state! Welcome, and I hope you had a great time! I'm sorry it's so hot at the moment, lol.
Thank you for the warm welcome! We had a fantastic time exploring your beautiful state, The heat wasn't too bad.
Welcome to OK! It's so great to see y'all visit, because a lot of people assume there's nothing here and just skip us! Arbuckle Fried Pies was a childhood staple of mine, and Pie Junkie is so amazing! I'd love to see y'all come back and explore around Norman and Tulsa! (I can even give you a tour of the University of Oklahoma haha)
Thank you for the warm welcome! Arbuckle Fried Pies was delicious, and we'd definitely love to revisit and explore more of Oklahoma in the future. A tour of the University of Oklahoma sounds like fun!
If you are still here in Oklahoma, I recommend Braum's ice-cream and dairy. They have some really good double dip sunde's.
Thanks for the suggestion!!! Next time we will definitely try Braums
20:08 That's a graham (one-syllable) cracker crust. Yes, the same graham crackers you would make s'mores out of. The crackers are ground up, and sugar and melted butter are added; the pasty mixture is pressed into the bottom of the dish. Key Lime pie is _best_ in Florida, but it's not too shoddy everywhere else as long as it's actually made from key limes. Key limes have a distinctive flavor and a sublime tart:sweet ratio.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The graham cracker crust really does set the stage for that perfect Key Lime pie experience.
So nice to see Oklahoma getting more people traveling through. Especially to try the food. I feel like food wise many people go way south or way up east. And while we have many things the same as the south such as biscuits and gravy, Our biscuits are not sweet and most places do not give sausage gravy but regular white gravy without the sausage. We also have BBQ sauce that is tomato based where as the south uses vinegar based.
Cornish Pasties are well known in parts of Wisconsin and Michigan as immigrant miners from Cornwall came to Wisconsin and Michigan to mine ore.
I’m more familiar with Wisconsin, so I’ll start with it. Wisconsin’s first big mining boom was in southwestern Wisconsin in the Driftless area (an un-glaciated area). Lead was mined there first by First Nations tribes and later by settlers from back east and European immigrants like the Cornish miners. They brought with them their culture, food, and architecture. The lead rush began in the 1840s, and many buildings built by the Cornish can still be seen in the area. Mineral Point and Dodgeville are two prominent areas to see the buildings and perhaps get Cornish Pasties.
The other area of Wisconsin actually borders the UP of Michigan where Cornish Pasties are popular. Northern Wisconsin and the bordering Michigan UP was home to copper and iron mining, and Cornish miners settled in those areas as well. Any town along US Highway 2, especially towards the border with Michigan, such as Iron River, should have some places that sell Pasties.
I had a Florida Seminole teach me how to make fry bread. It's super simple. When you're in a pinch, you need kind of like a bread side it's very easy to make.
Thanks for the information! we will have to give it a try
