Girls Weekend Getaway in OKC with OKCU

Bri from Oklahoma’s Credit Union is back for an episode for an itinerary for a great girls’ weekend getaway in Oklahoma City. We start with a brunch at 30th Street Market, do some shopping in Midtown, make a glass flower at Blue Sage Studios, stay the night at Bradford House, and then end the adventure with a relaxing spa session at Purity Day Spa.

For the glassblowing segment at Blue Sage Studios, I didn’t do any editing tricks to speed up the action so you get a real feel for the session. With the constant instruction and some level bumps in the music, the pace flowed great, and I think people will be inspired to take a lesson.

Thank you to Oklahoma’s Credit Union for sponsoring this episode of Uncovering Oklahoma.

Just Put An Egg On It

I visited with Irese Harris, owner of Just Put An Egg On It, as she made a Steak Bowl. You can find this restaurant concept inside The Parlor in Oklahoma City.

Sedalia’s Oyster & Seafood

Sedalia’s Oyster & Seafood redefines seafood dining with its ever-evolving menu inspired by Spain and France. From weekly-transformed oysters to innovative dishes like Sichuan-infused focaccia, guests embark on a flavorful journey, curated with care, creativity, and an impressive wine-focused experience.

I’m really digging the whole “talking while working” format, although technically, Zach was fairly stationary while I was asking my main questions. However, the cutting between the different dishes really livens up the pace. I’m also looking at doing some Tom Scott-style videos about popular attractions. I’ve reached out to one place with plans to show parts the public doesn’t get to see.

Apart from serving delectable dishes, Mrs. Tee emphasizes the importance of infusing love into her cooking. She is inspired by the nurturing spirit of her grandmothers and believes that every meal is a testament to the warmth and care that defines family and cultural connections.

Located in Moore, The Crimson Melt is a restaurant owned by Ashontay Owens, a retired Air Force fire chief. It is more than just a place for grilled cheese sandwiches. The Wall of Heroes inside the restaurant pays tribute to first responders, creating a unique culinary experience. The restaurant offers a limitless variety of grilled cheese sandwiches that patrons can customize to their liking. The menu also features signature sandwiches like the Shift Fridge and KJ Pyledriver, which showcase creative topping combinations. The culinary journey doesn’t end there, as the restaurant also offers signature shakes such as the Probie, which is a s’mores-inspired delight.

Apart from its menu, Mr. Owens emphasizes community support by raising awareness for mental health in first responders. The Crimson Melt encourages intentional spending, turning every meal into a charitable contribution.
