SKORDLE SAMPLER: 2025 Week 10 - BG10 Cafe in Cashion

11/6/2025 |  Michael Swisher

The SKORDLE Game of the Week makes its way to Cashion this Friday night and I wanted to take the opportunity to encourage any hungry football fans to visit the BG10 Cafe prior to the big game between the Yellowjackets and Wildcats. 

It's not often in high school football you get a Week 10 matchup that could decide the district championship and playoff seedings depending on outcomes, scores and a possible coin flip like the book and movie Friday Night Lights. 

The BG10 Cafe opened this past July in downtown Cashion and ever since has been cooking up some of the best burgers anyone can get ahold of in central Oklahoma!

          I have included some of my own pictures from some of my visits and I think the burgers keep getting better every time I go. 

The menu includes a variety of great burger options from the namesake the “BG10 Burger” which has grilled onions, pickles and cheese. 

The “Classic American Burger” includes the traditional toppings of lettuce, onion, tomato, pickles and cheese. 

The “Mushroom and Swiss Burger” is exactly that and maybe my favorite.

Lastly, the “Cowboy Burger” has bell peppers, onions and special sauce for a little extra kick. 

Of course any of these fantastic burgers can be customized with great add-ons such as bacon, avocado and the popular extra patty for the really big eaters. 

            I have tried all four and they are all fantastic! 

            These classic, flat top griddle burgers are served on a warm buttery soft bun which really makes them delicious and puts them over the top for a burger eating experience. 

All the traditional burger sides are available and I tend to rotate the tater tots and onion rings while the rest of my crew really like the french fries. 

            They also have great cheese curds if that is something you like. I would suggest the cheese curds as an appetizer and it's pretty shareable for a couple of people.

In addition to the great burgers, BG10 Cafe also serves up several other items including a popular Ribeye sandwich, a great Philly Cheesesteak and several other cold sandwiches, wraps and salads.
