Want a random bit of useless information?
...In 2007, OKC was the fast-food capital of the U.S. and ranked in the top 10 in '99, '03, and '06(tied for No. 3 with Memphis and Charleston/Huntington, West Virginia. in '06)...
...Oklahoma City ranked No. 15 in the latest survey of "America's Fattest Cities" by Men's Fitness magazine...
...Portland [Oregon] (about the same population as OKC) residents are among the least frequent patrons of fast-food establishments in the nation, along with Anchorage, Boston and Portland, Maine...
Very random, I know...but you love me for it...and you think about what you're stuffing as you read this.
And, to balance out your craving for McDonald's fries right now, I'll give you a recipe for an alternative side from one of my new favorite sites: www.recipegoldmine.com
