Zero-Proof Cocktails with Bevographer

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’s Mix-Tape Phase 2

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!

New State Burgers & Spirits

Focusing on quality instead of quantity, New State Burgers & Spirits in Oklahoma City brings a service–focused burger to the Plaza District. Jay Iaquinta, Jordan Harris, and Tyler Maune discuss what you can expect to enjoy when you visit New State.

I had the Hot Hamburger during my visit there and that was delicious.

Oklahoma State Fair Food 2019

I visited the 2019 Oklahoma State Fair with Meg Cathey and Tabbi Burwell of Visit OKC on opening day to sample some of the new and award-winning fair foods. We managed to visit eight places – The Urb Express, Cutie Pies Concession, Cookie Dough Monsters, Minneapple Pie, Project Krave, Freed Family Farm, Cheese Curd Tacos, and Oklahoma Pork Council – before we got too full.

The 2019 Oklahoma State Fair starts September 12th and goes through the 22nd.
