Classen Grill has been our breakfast destination in Oklahoma City since the earliest editions of Roadfood. We love to start the day with taquitas (tortilla-wrapped packets of eggs, cheese, and vegetables) or chinook eggs (salmon patties topped with poached eggs) accompanied by a block of cheese grits. When we arrive with insatiable appetites, we go for "biscuits debris" – two big ones split open and mounded with gravy choc-a-bloc with ham and sausage chunks, cloaked with melted cheddar cheese. Zooming through town the other day on a quick trip from Tulsa to Albuquerque, I stopped for a plate of migas, which was superb.

On the side of breakfast, it is possible to enjoy some serious potatoes – either home fries or the specialty known as Classen potatoes, which are mashed, seasoned with garlic and rolled into little balls, then deep fried until brittle gold on the outside. The result is a kind of prairie knish.

The place is an ultra-casual, one-room cafe with paintings of fruit and other gastronomical items posted on its pink stucco walls. During Sunday breakfast, nearly half the customers sat at tables reading the morning paper while leisurely enjoying their meals.
