Casa Bonita as featured in a recent episode of South Park (yes, it's real.) Side note - they actually serve some of the worst mexican food on earth but the novelty of it is worth it..... once.

KTSnake, everyone else: Are you aware that Sonic is an Oklahoma company? It was founded from one single drive-in, in a small Oklahoman town.

So, eating at a Sonic is a part of Oklahoma.

Best hamburgers at a national chain. Their fries are cut on-site, using fresh potatoes, and their milkshakes are made from milk and ice cream, not that powder that places like Sonic use.

Waffle House--but only very very late at night. It attracts the funniest people ever.

Hey, I walked the freedom trail last year.

Anyway, my list:

See the Alamo
Hike the Grand Canyon
Walk across the Golden Gate
Watch Old Faithful
Wade in the Pacific
Wade in the Atlantic
Wade in the Gulf of Mexico (with shoes on...it's yucky)
The Strip in Vegas
Mardi Gras
Disney World

My list of stuff I still need to do, off the top of my head:

Empire State Bldg.
Statue of Liberty (it's reopening)
Washington D.C.

I'm too tired to think of anymore

had Texas or Oklahoma barbeque! Barbeque purists from Kansas City or other places may say otherwise...

If Pancho's in Albuquerque, New Mexico is still around thats a good restaurant to stop at. The best Mexican food I ever had. They had unlimited sopapillas, the best bread I ever had. Plus I thought it was interesting they had a little flag at every table and when you wanted a waitress to come you just raise the flag and one would be there shortly.

Yes, and they're relocating their downtown corporate office to the OKC riverwalk. Now that's a place I should send a resumé to

Pat O's is in New Orleans, more specifically, the French Quarter. There's also an outlet on the 4th floor of Jax Brewery, also in the Quarter.
