   It’s cheap. It’s fast. It’s delicious. And the cherry limeades are to die for:

   So are the bacon cheeseburgers and the Frito chili cheese wrap.

   Real food for real people; which is probably why Pres and First Lady Obama would never touch it.

   I question the legitimacy of an upscale restaurant serving southern cuisine. Real southern cooking is best cooked at home, followed by a mom and pop restaurant.

    Ok the Bro and Ho Can Go to the Sonic in Chicago or even DC. Just keep them away from Sonic — America’s Drive-In down the road here. I don’t need the Secret Service messing with my onion rings. I generally have the bacon cheeseburger with a side of Lipitor.
    I was going to order a Turbaconducken on rye but they were out of rye.

    I have been told the term “Bro and Ho” is a bit strong but I am waiting to see if I can get a loan from the stimulus package to trademark it. I am thinking of becoming a rap singer to supplement my income.

    I didn’t have any issue with the particular meal – or price – whatsoever. The Obamas paid for the meal out of their own pocket. I thought we were the party that celebrated the right to do with your money as you wish.

    I am surprised, however, that no one has commented on the part of the meal that the taxpayers did pay for – the price of all that security and pre-screening before they entered and once they had arrived.

    As a side note, one of the things I always admired about the Bushes was how often they stayed home, particularly at holidays, so the Secret Service could be with their families.

    I guess there’s no such hope come Thanksgiving or Christmas with these two…

    I just had a glance at the menu at Table 52. Not much that I recognize from either of my grandmothers’ kitchens.

    I also notice that he didn’t do any research about proper phrasing of items.
    He refers to “lo mein noodles” in one item.
    Since “lo mein” means “with noodles”… he’s offering “with noodles noodles”.
    I’m sure that goes along with the Bro’s Department of Redundancy Department.

    I miss the Sonic fried steak sandwich… but they bring it back on special once in a while.

    I do not partake of coffee and Starbucks doesn’t tend to attract the clientele that I want to be seen with.

    I take issue with it. How much did it cost to fly AF1 to Chicago? How much did it cost for his motorcade and two dozen secret service agents> How many people were inconvenienced and missed their dinner reservations when the Obama drove down those streets that were closed for him? How much did it cost to screen the diners and did Table 52 give the SS a list of diners so they could prescreen?

    I’ve scaled back my food choices so I can sock a little money away in preparation for the Obama’s economy busting plans and he has the nerve to fly to Chicago with the bitter wifey for a very expensive (counting all the security and flights) meal?

    Hell, yes I begrudge him that.

    They play the sonic commercials on TV in northern VA, and back before we had kids we’d watch see them all the time when we were up late at night. There were no sonics within 100 miles, so it was torture.

    I haven’t tried the cherry limeade, but I’m going to now. If its anything like that picture I’ll love it because I LOVE crunching ice. Last time we went I got some kind of blue coconut shake thing and it was *heaven* but so rich that I couldn’t finish it. Its a good thing the closest Sonic is about 3 hours southwest of here.

    Sonic is out of Oklahoma City. The best thing about Sonic is the cherry Limeade. The worst thing is that although sonic discourges tipping, you feel you have to tip when the girls (yes, they are all girls) deliver your order to your car.

    The Ol’ country girl doesn’t like Sonic because of her tipping angst. All my grown kids and grand kids love Sonic. We have two in Claremore. Having lived in the Chicago area a while back, I think Sonic would be an upgrade. I am tired of the gourmet burgers, where the tasters on TV have facial orgasms. They just make good, inexpensive hamburgers.

    I agree. The menu I found a menu of the restaurant doesn’t have much Southern cooking.

    I don’t know how old that menu is, but the only things I saw on it that qualify as Southern are:

    Art’s Buttermilk Fried Chicken

    and

    Art’s Hummingbird Cake

    The other items are too gussified up to qualify. I’m sorry, but adding parma ham to skillet cornbread is an automatic disqualification. What ever happened to Virginia ham? Besides, everyone knows you do ham and biscuits and honey on cornbread.

    If you want to see a Southern menu here is one.

    Having lived in several western states, and sampled at Whataburger, Sonic and In-N-Out, I have to say they seem to tie for Numero Uno. What? I was just sampling!

    Whataburger has huge, sloppy, drippy burgers that are pretty tasty and priced right! Sonic has Tots and roller skates! ‘Nuf said. In-N-Out’s 2X2 (or “Double-Double” when ordering) and fresh sliced fries are just the ticket for whenever I get to feeling just a bit too healthy. Perfect amount of salt on the fries and those beef patties!

    And no, I don’t watch much tv.

    I just wish there was a Sonic in Honolulu.

    You can practically walk from one McD’s to the next, before your iced coffee is even melted.

    I wonder if we can get a subsidy for someone to open one.

    Hey, we’re the Home State. Surely Barry O can slap us some cash for a Sonic.

    Be careful what you wish for. To many mainland franchises, like IHOP and Arby’s, just aren’t the same here.

    Doesn’t anyone make Tater-Tots here in the land of Aloha?

    Sonic is out of Oklahoma City. The best thing about Sonic is the cherry Limeade. The worst thing is that although sonic discourges tipping, you feel you have to tip when the girls (yes, they are all girls) deliver your order to your car.

    The Ol’ country girl doesn’t like Sonic because of her tipping angst. All my grown kids and grand kids love Sonic. We have two in Claremore. Having lived in the Chicago area a while back, I think Sonic would be an upgrade. I am tired of the gourmet burgers, where the tasters on TV have facial orgasms. They just make good, inexpensive hamburgers.

    Never noticed they discouraged tipping. I don’t go there much, mainly cause of the need for tipping.

    Am I tight or what!!

    I had wanted to go to Sonic ever since seeing the movie Fandango and hearing the old coot give his famous “Two chili dogs and a chocolate malt” line. Moved here to AZ and there are two…. count ‘em…two here in Kingman. Great burgers, and when it is 110 degrees out the covered parking is REALLY a plus.

    In any case, the menu is interesting….but I don’t see arugula

    Next time we have a presidential election maybe the MSM or bloggers can ask the candidates where they plan on eating Valentines Day dinner.Then we can vote for the one that says Sonic, because they are just like us.

    FYI – Bush ate in a lot (PBJ), and really got down on the local Mexican food in Crawford.

    Then there’s Obama…arugula, kobe beef, etc.

    How about the SuperSonics? Is that a drive through?

    ArizonaNeanderthal, the Supersonics are in Oklahoma City, too. They’re now known as the Oklahoma City Thunder.

    Last time I was in Seattle there were lots of signs in windows reading “SOS” or “Save Our Sonics.” I was afraid to tell anyone we were from Oklahoma. Also when I was there, someone vandalized a Hummer sitting in front of a guy’s house just because it was a Hummer. I love how tolerant the leftists are.

    You haven’t lived until you have lunch or dinner from one of the taco trucks in LA. Incredibly, a leading Democrat city council member led an effort to use the power of the LA City Attorney to shut down the taco trucks. The fish tacos are to die for and I never had a bad meal at a taco truck. Having said that, you can’t go wrong at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles either.
    Somehow, I can’t see John Kerry ever ordering from the taco truck. I vaguely recall that Kerry went to Pat’s King of Steaks in South Philly and asked if he could have brie with his steak sandwich and I think he asked the waitress if they served chablis. You can’t invent anything as glorious as John Kerry at Pats.

    I have to give them credit… they came up with a couple of evil little concoctions called a Jalapeno Burger and a Bananna Cream Pie shake. And then placed the Sonic location very close to my workout facility.

    But who gave them permission to change the menu from a #1 or #2 burger to a ‘Sonic Burger’ with Mayo or Mustard??

    Tater-tots are nice… but I can’t even find some southern style BBQ. All I can find is Korean BBQ.

    Tasty, but I’m sorry. Nothing like a good Texas BBQ.

    Although… Colter’s BBQ does offer mail order. Hm…

    Hey thanks everybody. No, really. Now I am jonesing for Sonic and can’t get any for another day and a half. All because Sonic doesn’t have parking for big trucks. It’s so discriminatory. lol

    As for the cherry limeaides, I used to live on those years ago when I was still a heat and air man. Nothing like a Route 44 cherry limeade after coming down out of a 140 degree attic.

    5 in the morning and all I want is an extra long chili cheese coney!

    I question the legitimacy of an upscale restaurant serving southern cuisine. Real southern cooking is best cooked at home, followed by a mom and pop restaurant.

    Therein lies the problem. Uppity people like Oprah and les Obamas call it “cuisine” when all it is is a bastardized version of good ol’ Southern home cookin’!!! I bet it’s not even good!
