Bakersfield, California,
restaurant and
nightclub. Home of the
Buck Owens Museum, with
memorabilia spanning Buck's 40 year
career in
country music. Not only are there
photos,
Nudie suits, and
records, but above the bar is a
Cadillac convertible said to have been won from
Elvis Presley in a
poker game. And guess who leads the house band every Friday and
Saturday night? Yep, that's Buck himself. So head on over to 2800 Buck Owens Avenue off of Highway 99 in Bakersfield and order up some Cryin' Time
Onjun Rangs. The menu says they come with southern dippin' sauce, but it looks and tastes just like
orange marmalade to me. Why serve marmalade with the Onjun Rangs? 'Cause that's the way Buck likes 'em.
And stop by the Country Store in the lobby to take home a little bit of Buck home with you: Buck Owens keychains, mugs, sweatshirts, denim jackets, or even a red, white, and blue autographed Fender Telecaster ($1600).
