Guest host, Jabee, interviews all ten of the premiere restaurant concepts at the Oklahoma City food hall, The Collective, in the Midtown district. We visit with Black Cat, Cafe D’Lasie, Local-Homa, Oh Baby, Okie Pokie, Press Waffle Co, Shaka, The Flying Pig, The Fried Taco, and Theo’s Doughnuts.

This episode took several trips to complete. Jabee and I managed to get all but two of the restaurants interviewed in one day. I went there various times collecting b-roll here and there, including getting some last-minute pick-up shots to complete the story. Featuring 10 different places was quite a challenge.

I got some ideas for how I can do things differently for the next food hall episode. Hope you enjoyed this video!

I explored Oklahoma City’s emerging zero-proof cocktail scene with Chris and Miranda Hodge, a.k.a. The Bevographer. Miranda interviewed Gabbi Lee at The Daley, stopped by Barkeep Supply for a drink, then headed to Ponyboy to talk with Alex Larrea, and made a final visit Jake Holt at Ludivine. We also discussed the difference between zero-proof cocktails and mocktails and did a taste test of the drinks.

This was such a fun collaboration and a great topic that needs to be shared. I hope this video inspires other bars to add some zero-proof drinks to their menu. It’s a great option for those who wish to be sober and patronize a business while out with a group of people.

If you want a deeper dive into the philosophy of zero-proof cocktails with the bar managers, my patron supporters can watch the full-length interview sessions. Uncut, the three interviews totaled over 20-minutes – and that didn’t include the taste tests or any of the location introductions. I’m proud of how well the final edit turned out.

I hope you enjoy this episode! I’m pushing for more collaboration episodes, so stay turned!

Factory Obscura, the art collective responsible for multiple temporary, immersive art experiences across Oklahoma City, has opened Phase 2 of its Mix-Tape experience, which features a 6,000-square-foot, hand-crafted, immersive art experience at its first permanent location on 9th Street in Automobile Alley.

In this Uncovering Oklahoma story, I interviewed Kelsey Karper, Factory Obscura co-founder and director of logistical creativity and show footage from their opening night event.

This place is worth a visit!
