I got to have some fun on the edit with this story, giving a unique flair for the episode. I hope you all enjoy it and get to check them out if you’re into craft beer. I’m working on a pie episode for next week and I’ve filmed four pie places so far, with one more scheduled for Saturday. I’m also doing some interviews in Norman with Yellow Dog Coffee and Sergio’s. Client work has been keeping me busy hence last week’s event recap videos. I do hope to share the stuff I’ve been working with Oklahoma Contemporary with you soon. The new building and upcoming opening exhibition are amazing. 

While I’ve been busy with client projects and miscellaneous matters, I haven’t been able to release proper episodes for Uncovering Oklahoma this week, however, I have two event recaps.

First up, sponsored by deadCenter Film Festival, is the recap of Glitter Ball 2020 at Factory Obscura. As Oklahoma’s largest film festival, deadCenter is the best place to see exciting new short films, insightful documentaries, hilarious comedies, scary monster movies, and the best independent films from around the world and all over Oklahoma.

On Wednesday, my wife and I went to the Tower Theatre for the Will & Wiley preview event. Crafted and canned by COOP Ale Works, Will & Wiley is the first hard seltzer distributed by an Oklahoma craft brewery. The seltzer has four natural fruit flavors and will be available in select retailers throughout Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Arkansas beginning March 2020.

Be sure to visit the Uncovering Oklahoma website has I updated its look earlier this week. I reached out to about ten places in Oklahoma City with pies for a pie-themed episode I’m filming next week. Going to be a whole lot of pies. I also got two other interviews scheduled as well, so stay tuned!

For the first time, I collaborated with Chris Cox from The House OKC as he tried spicy dishes in Oklahoma City. In this first installment, Chris and I visited Truong Le at Chick-N-Beer in the Uptown 23rd District for their “Peppers Galore” in both traditional wing and vegan variants. Then we went to the Plaza District to interview Jeff Chanchaleune about Goro Ramen and tried their Spicy Miso Ramen.

Both dishes we tried packed some heat while still having some strong flavor. I recommend both of them, depending on what you’re in the mood to eat. We tried to get a third place, but our schedules didn’t line-up to pull that off. We got some ideas for another installment of spicy dishes and we’re in the process of soliciting more.

This week on Uncovering Oklahoma, I collaborated with Apollo Woods of OKC Black Eats for a mini-series of stories for Black Restaurants Weeks. Since each video averaged 15-minutes, I decided to release the stories throughout a three day period.

We first visited OklaSoul, a restaurant that puts the soul in food; Clean Juice, a juice bar with USDA Certified Organic cold-pressed juice cleanses, smoothies, acai bowls, and more; and ended with Carican Flavors for Caribbean American food in Oklahoma City’s east side.

I loved that we got to showcase a variety of foods. Since Apollo had been doing lots of interviews for the Black Restaurants Weeks event, he wanted to do something different. We did the interviews in the kitchen and even did some cooking at OklaSoul. I especially liked how Sharon of Carican Flavors gave a tour of what she was cooking. The experience has given me some ideas for doing restaurant interviews differently.

I joked on social media that I felt like I made a back-door pilot for Apollo’s own Food Network show. I’m going to edit all three stories together to fit a 30-minute timeslot, hand it over to Apollo, and see what happens. 😎
