We left Hot Springs on Thursday morning and headed west through Oklahoma. We stopped at Cattlemen's Steakhouse (http://www.cattlemenssteakhouse.com/) in Oklahoma City. We were two of the only people not wearing cowboy hats. This place was real deal...cattle rancher types and locals. We wanted to try and keep the lunch light because we planned on stopping about an hour west to try the local favorites in a town called El Reno. Our "light" lunch included the following:
We split lamb fries (aka "Rocky Mountain Pysters") which are fried cow testicles.
I had a small steak soup and Ilya had a "Club" steak with a baked potato.
We were a bit hesitant to try the lamb fries but after our enjoyable milt experience we decided to go for it. They were pretty tasty. Squeeze a little lemon and dip them in some cocktail sauce...good stuff.
The steak soup was really thick..mostly beans, some veggies and little cubes of steak. Nothing to spectacular but it was good.
When the club steak arrived we both said it didn't look too great. Ilya cut the meat with such ease and the perfectly cooked rare meat was revealed. The meat was like butter. We also had some local, Oklahoma brewed "Cattlemen's Beer". We were obviously stuffed but we were committed to stopping for lunch #2.
