Editorial Summary

The creators travel through Oklahoma as part of their mission to visit all fifty states in a converted sprinter van. Following recommendations from their audience, they visit several unique locations including Cattleman's Steakhouse, where they try a porterhouse steak and lamb testicles. They continue their journey along historic Route 66, stopping at the Pops soda shop to sample various flavors and visiting the Arcadia Round Barn. The trip includes a stay at a vineyard through Harvest Hosts and a visit to The Gathering Place in Tulsa, a massive public park. After experiencing some technical difficulties with electric bike rentals, the duo heads to the Great Salt Plains, which they find closed for the winter. The Oklahoma leg of their journey concludes as they drive through Kansas to reach the exact center of the United States before crossing the border into Nebraska. Throughout the trip, the creators highlight the hospitality of the locals and the scenic beauty of driving through small towns rather than using the interstate.
