Ghost Stories along the OKC Streetcar

Author and host of the Oklahoma City Ghost Tours, Jeff Provine lead Caitlin Ford from EMBARK on a ghost tour along the streetcar route. Stops include Automobile Alley, Downtown, Bricktown, and Midtown.

If you haven’t already listened to the Tales Unveiled episode, we recorded that the same day as this video. Once we finished the video at Scissortail Park, we started the podcast right there.

I want to give a huge thank you to EMBARK and the OKC Streetcar for sponsoring this episode of Uncovering Oklahoma! Their transportation options connect people with their community, while easing traffic congestion and improving air quality. Learn more at embarkok.com and then explore the city using public transportation.

We’re planning more branded videos in the future. We’re talking about doing one for Downtown in December, so I’m excited to see where this partnership leads in the future. 

Freezing Cow

Apollo Woods of OKC Black Eats guest hosts this episode of Uncovering Oklahoma where he interviews Sean McCoy and Jordan Lowe of Freezing Cow in Oklahoma City. In addition to being rolled ice cream, Freezing Cow has non-dairy and keto options.

Visit Freezing Cow for yourself at 6401 Northwest Expressway in Oklahoma City or their website at FreezingCowOKC.com

The Burger from The Museum Cafe

Creative Burgers Vol 2

In this second installment of creative burgers in Oklahoma, Justin Coleman and Undrell Maholmes go on a taste adventure to S&B’s Burger Joint at their original location in Oklahoma City, then travel to Yukon for the Eggcellent Burger at The Miller Grill, make a quick stop for ice cream at Vacca Territory along Route 66, and end back to OKC for The Burger at The Museum Cafe at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.

Watch the first volume of creative burgers for more restaurants with great burgers. We do have plans for more volumes next year. We did discuss the idea of doing a Route 66 burger special. If you love what we’re doing, join me on Patreon for early access to my episodes as well as bonus content.

Happy Adventures!

The Collective Kitchens and Cocktails

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!

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!
