I know it's their bread and butter (literally) but I feel for the drive thru workers at Chick-Fil-a in this heat. I know they have done significant renovations at most of their locations to have the shaded awnings fans, and misters, but when the heat index is 115, there is only so much you can do. Plus there isn't much downtime for a good few hours out of the day.
I haven't been by the Dutch Bros in Edmond recently, but for those that have, are they still taking orders in the parking lots with no shade structures.
About Chickfla, I dont eat there but I have noticed around lunch they have a van that sets up at Waterloo and Brdy as well as Kelly and Covell and sells their foods. I am wondering if they are testing the waters before committing to building more stores. Or maybe its just a cheap way to increase sales. The places are staffed by one person and its using a van with Chickfla all over it, not a third partiy seller.
They are testing demand in those areas. I know someone that works at the Lowes at Covell-Kelly, Chick-fil-A has been looking at that intersection for a couple years. I was hoping they’d buy the land the Club Carwash and soon to be Salad&Go are on. A Chick-fil-A at that intersection would kill it.
Had an amazing meal last night at Farmer's Grain. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a simple, but very delicious high-end meal. Family-owned and operated. Edmond has really shined lately with restaurants!
Tried Remix Ramen the other day. Had the spicy chicken ramen and was pleasantly surprised by the level of heat. The chicken meatballs were also an unusual twist that I found myself enjoying. I’ll still think Goro when I think Ramen, but definitely worth visiting for a fast casual ramen experience. Either way, 84 wins.
Anyone know what’s going in the old Steve’s Rib place?
Noticed the McDonald's at Kelly (Kelley?) and Danforth was torn down. Is that gonna be a rebuild?
County Assessor still shows that it is owned by Seikel Properties, which is Karen and "STEVE's RIB"n Seikel. They still operate the Fox Lake Steve's Rib at I-35.

Ate at Farmer's Grain last Saturday. It was excellent. The menu is somewhat limited, but that's to be expected at a farm to table kind of place.
We are watching for that one to open, as we are in the area weekly. There is a lot of competition for that type of food in that area. If some of the better quality restaurants would move a few miles west, I think they would make a killing. I'm guessing location cost is a major factor in them all being in that area of Edmond, rather than around Penn and May.
A lot of those places really need to take over space already built out as a restaurant, preferably with kitchen equipment.
I don't know if that's the case at this particular spot, but where there are a lot of restaurants, another one will almost always take a space once someone moves out. Completely different proposition to build out a place from scratch -- tons of plumbing, code issues, etc.
