Serving up a fun “twist” on ice cream, Capitals Ice Cream in Oklahoma City’s Midtown District allows you to pick toppings such as fruits, cereal, candy, cookies, and more to ‘swirl’ into your ice cream. I interviewed Landon Ferguson for Uncovering Oklahoma about what you can expect when you visit their dreamy ice cream shop that also includes coffee and beer.
The Red Earth Festival is held each year at the Cox Convention Center in Downtown Oklahoma City next to the Myriad Botanical Gardens at the intersection of Broadway and Sheridan.
Start your Friday by experiencing what has been referred to as “America’s Most Unique Parade” as hundreds of participants including tribal leaders, princesses, floats, Veterans Groups, and drum groups circle the beautifully-landscaped Myriad Botanical Gardens to celebrate the opening of the festival.
Native artists travel from across the country to participate in the prestigious Red Earth Juried Art Market. Red Earth attracts America’s best Native artists who fill the climate-controlled Cox Convention Center Exhibition Hall in the heart of Oklahoma’s Capitol City.
On Saturday and Sunday, The Red Earth Pow Wow features hundreds of dancers in full tribal regalia as the fill the Convention Center Arena during exciting competitions and exhibition dances.
The Red Earth Festival will take place on June 8-10, 2018.
A spinoff of Pub W, The Winston is a new addition on Main Street in Norman, Oklahoma as a more modern, contemporary version that’s bar forward as well as being more adventurous on food. Brandon Kistler, the Concept Head for The Winston of Hal Smith Restaurants, talks about this new restaurant and what guests can expect.
Personally, Leslie and I both loved the spicy duck wings. So good. It’s nice to see new things spreading out in Downtown Norman. There’s a breakfast-focused restaurant coming soon next door to The Winston called Neighborhood Jam. I haven’t been to the Edmond location yet. Getting up to drive to Edmond (about an hour drive) for breakfast is not an easy task.
Guest Host Heide Brandes returns for a chats and snacks segment with Jade Yushan Han of Wagyu Japanese BBQ in Oklahoma City. Heide and Jade discuss many of the food options as well as how to use the imported Japanese grill at the center of each table to cook your own food. Heide also tries several dishes including Mochi Ice Cream, Ahi Tuna Steak, and beef tongue.
For this video, I wanted to showcase the actual dining experience because this concept of cooking is new to people in Oklahoma. After the failed Kickstarter campaign for Colorful Escapes, one of the things Heide and I discussed in our new strategy was to make other videos together to build our team brand.
This video is about 20-minutes long as it does demonstrate the restaurant. You can also get the gist of things within the first half of it. Hope you enjoy!
