Oklahoma City Chili

On February 21, 2019

In preparation for National Chili Day next week, I visited three restaurants in the Oklahoma City metro that serve bowls of chili as part of their regular menu. For this story, I traveled to Flint in Downtown Oklahoma City for their Bison Chili, The Red Cup in OKC for their vegetarian chili, and The Diner in Downtown Norman for their Championship Chili. The chili featured from each place is completely different from each other. Not only do all of these venues offer bowls of chili, but they also feature it on other menu items such as burgers.

National Chili Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in February, which will be on February 28th for 2019.

Be sure to read the full story at Uncovering Oklahoma for more information about these places, including some recommendations to other places.

I’m planning on doing more themed videos in the future for Uncovering Oklahoma. It gives me a chance to feature older, more established places and to revisit places I haven’t been to in a while. After all, just because a place has been around, doesn’t mean that it’s not new to someone else. As for future themes, National Corn Dog Day is coming up next month…

Chalk

Bringing luxury and comfort, Chalk in Oklahoma City’s Chisholm Creek elevates the typical sports bar experience by welcoming all sports with scratch made food. Chalk also features a state of the art video system with 100 screens, totaling 1,600 square feet of screen surface. You can’t throw a ball inside there without hitting a TV.

I was first invited to Chalk for a media preview event last month. Also invited were several of my media friends, so we got a booth together and hung out. I’m not a sports person, but Chalk is a fun place to hang out and the food is really good. My favorite was their lasagna rolls, which should give you an indication of how different they are. Chalk is more appetizer focused so guests can order a la carte.

Chalk is located at 1324 West Memorial Road in Oklahoma City. Learn more about Chalk at chalkokc.com

I’ve already filmed next week’s featured video for Uncovering Oklahoma, which will highlight three different restaurants for their chili. I’m planning to do more themed videos this year, which will give me a chance to showcase more established places.

Ganache Patisserie

Started by husband and wife Laura Szyld and Matt Ruggi, Ganache Patisserie is a European style café and bakery where you can take apart the balance of flavors in your mouth. When you come to Ganache in Oklahoma City’s Chisholm Creek district, Matt encourages guests to enjoy every flavor and relax.

In this Uncovering Oklahoma story, I interviewed with Laura Szyld and Matt Ruggi about what visitors can expect from Ganache Patisserie, including what makes their place great for a date night. This video wraps up my mini-series that focuses on date ideas leading up to Valentine’s Day. Although, some may consider next week’s story date-worthy.

Ganache Patisserie is located at 13230 Pawnee Drive in Oklahoma City. For more information, visit them at https://www.ganacheokc.com

I was invited to a media tasting preview event at Banquet Cinema Pub in Oklahoma City on February 1, 2019. In this adventure vlog, I sat down with the owner to learn about what they have planned.

I’m planning to do more personal vlogs this year, using my channel for more casual stories, but also updates on what I’m working on.
