One of the first TLO food reviews I wrote for the Lost Ogle was about the hungrily decrepit Chuck House, down on NW 10th and Meridian. From what I can remember, I quite liked it despite its dumpster aesthetics and unwashed bravura. Sadly, I haven’t seen one like that since.
That is until I was coming home from a doctor’s appointment in Del City when I happened upon another one located at 2400 S. Midwest Blvd.
Set up like a ramshackle drive-in, I pulled into the other ancient home of the “Best Chicken Fry in the Universe” and was amazed how classic, in the loosest sense of the word, it all was.
As I went into the establishment through the tired glass door, complete with a homemade sign reminding future eaters to wear their masks, the large Rubbermaid trashcans greeted me, with freshly changed black bags inside. As flies buzzed around the condiments, on the Coke machine sat a trap that would surely end their own quest for junk food.
