Mission BBQ

[Pete]

The national chain Mission BBQ is set to remodel the Corner Bakery building at 13900 N. Penn and open their first Oklahoma location; they currently operate in 19 states. That Corner Bakery is the only one in the state and it appears it will soon close.

Is Mission BBQ related to Mission Taco?

No, completely different ownership.

How did I miss that there was a Corner Bakery here? Well, it sounds like everybody else missed it too.

[Thomas Vu]

I noticed it, not a fan though.

Mission BBQ plays the national anthem at noon everyday so the people here should like that.

I can imagine some dystopian moment where at noon everyone stops chowing down on their ribs to stand up and listen to the anthem.

Well, I guess I will try their food after noon! How stupid!

That's rather odd. Sounds like more performative "patriotism".....

There; I said it

I guess it is better than eating at the burger joint on Expressway that burns their buns with a Trump stamp!

I wouldn't set foot in either place if you paid me to.

Yeah, and the location is bad for me. I never made it to the Corner Bakery either!

Some of these people are really saluting a tv instead of the flag that is hanging in the room. So weird!

[CaptDave]

After seeing the video that shows the interior of the place, it isn't surprising. Performative. I'll leave it at that.

[MagzOK]

I find this ritual weird also, but what I find more disturbing are all these negative posts about a company's patriotism. Nobody should ever be ashamed or made fun of for being patriotic or for their love of their country.

Disgusting.

It’s not patriotism. The anthem at noon? It’s performative. And to salute TVs? Disgusting.

Feels like a cutaway gag in an episode of Family Guy/American Dad!
