    I agree, In and Out is very similar to McDonalds IMO, just nicer looking, simpler menu, a little less greasy, and cleaner stores on average, that is about it. I'll be in So. Cal in a couple of weeks and will be looking for a Fat Burger.

    I agree with the comment on Rainforest Cafe - I think the food is incredibly bland and the theme a bit over the top. I was extremely disappointed the time I ate there in Texas; I felt like I was at a Disneyland theme restaurant with less desirable entrees.

    I covet the following for my OKC:
    Whole Foods
    Crate and Barrell
    Restoration Hardware
    Uncle Julio's
    In and Out

    I live in Crown Heights, just a hop/skip/jump from the new Classen Curve development, and I could see a Crate a Barrell and/or RH there easily. It doesn't hurt to dream! We really need a Whole Foods in this area - I think it would be a great success.

    The few times that we've been back to Maryland recently, we made sure to eat at least once at a place called Chevy's Fresh Mex - or something like that. They're semi-national, better than On The Border, but have no locations in Oklahoma, period.

    Just in case we need another burger joint: Five Guys Burgers

    Most of these have been great suggestions.

    Personal favorites: Trader Joe's, White Castle, IKEA and Ruth's Chris...

    Additional suggestions: Anthropologie and H&M for shopping; I would love a Gates BBQ from Kansas City.

    I cannot begin to understand why so many people want the Rainforest Cafe... IMO, there is nothing great about cheesy animatronics, hourly rainstorms, and mediocre food.

    You're giving RFC way to much credit.

    Jack in the Box used to have a store at NW 23rd and I-44. AFAIK, that was the only one in OKC, or OK as a whole. It closed 15-20 years ago.

    In-n-Out is strictly a west coast chain, can't see 'em ever venturing this far east.

    I'd love to get a Fry's here.

    Here is a couple of mine, although these are more regional chains. Jerry's and Broadway would be a must for me.

    Jerry's Famous Deli: Home
    Broadway Station Restaurants • Home Page
    Bojangles' * Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits
    Fatburger

    I would rather CB2 over Crate & Barrel.

    I've been to Chevy's. I like our local Tex Mex better. Now if you said Chuy's from Austin. I would have been on board. I love that place. It has a few branches in Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas, what's a few more miles to OKC?

    Krystal all the way, born and raised in Mississippi, I've had White Castle as well, the're a passable substitute

    I also have the perfect location in MWC, the vacant spot next to the Chik-fil-a on 29th

    Why is Jack in the Crack even an afterthought? They're all over the place in Texas, and except for the breakfast burritos, they suck.

    Well... IMHO.. Pappadeaux's wil be too much compatition in too small a market when we already have the resturants in the Pearls' chain and Joe's Crab Shack.. Both of these two francises are turning out good food at decent prices....

    Now as to the Rainforest Cafe". Pluuueeezzzzz.... Give me a break and keep that away... That place is only good to take a kid on thier birthday for burgers and fries....

    > Have you been to the west coast?

    Not often and not in a long time. For the few trips which have existed, I found enough interesting seafood choices for my tastebuds to tide me over until I could shake loose and head back home.

    > Not exactly a comfort food culture like it is here.

    One of the reasons I've never had the urge to go that far west except when such travel lands on the unavoidable side of the scale. I likes my comfort food.

    One of my personal Texas favorites that I wished we had is Central Market. Central Market is H.E.B's version of Whole Foods or Trader Joes. In my opinion it is much better than Whole Foods!

    What about a World Market?

    Jack In The Box is sloooooowly creeping back towards OKC. There are three in OK now. (Durant, Ardmore, and Ada.)

    I believe the Arby's in Moore (12th St.) was a Jack In the Box many moons ago.

    The Jack in the Box in Ada isn't bad, or wasn't when I was through there several times summer before last. It and Bob's were my main fuel sources for a spell.
