Oklahoma City’s most iconic restaurant, Cattlemen’s Steakhouse, has been selected for induction into the National Steak House Hall of Fame.

David Egan of El Reno serves as Director of Operations for Cattlemen's.

Cattlemen’s is the only steakhouse in Oklahoma to hold this distinction.

“Cattlemen’s is the oldest continuously operating restaurant in Oklahoma City,” said Cattlemen’s owner Dick Stubbs.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Mark McBride, R-Moore, said legislation he authored that will ban 13 major financial institutions from state contracts as a result of their environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies is good for Oklahoma.

House Bill 2034, the Energy Discrimination Elimination Act of 2022, signed into law last May, took effect Nov. 1.

City Manager Matt Sandidge drew laughter when he told last week’s El Reno Now audience that all was right with El Reno now that “Sonic has opened.”

Sandidge said the new restaurant on Sunset Drive was a welcome addition. The store had to be torn down and rebuilt after a motorist ran through the drive-in.

Sandidge also pointed to the major changes at Country Club Square Shopping Center.

“Who can remember what that shopping center looked like 10 years ago,” he asked. “It was a vacant Walmart and not much else.”

In education debates, Texas is often portrayed as the land of milk and honey for supposedly downtrodden Oklahoma educators.

Texas teacher-pay levels and per-pupil funding are portrayed as far greater than in Oklahoma, freeing Texas school officials from the challenges facing their Oklahoma counterparts.
