Stacks Restaurant serves up delicious food in the heart of San Francisco. Don’t miss out on their brunch, but get there early to avoid the line! Last week was my Association of Luxury Suite Directors (ALSD) Conference. It is in a different city each summer, and this year was San Francisco. The sessions began on Monday afternoon, …
For authentic Mexican food in Oklahoma City, check out La Oaxaquena. You may need a translator as well, since the menus are in Spanish! In January I began doing in-person stewardship visits with our club seat holders. Our major gifts staff does a great job of stewardship with our top 150 donors; but because they are a small …
The Pump is a bar with a food menu. A great bar with an outdoor patio and games! Perfect for a Sunday Funday. Make sure you try out the delicious food as well. I discovered the Uptown 23rd Farmer’s Market about a month ago when I saw a post about it pop up on Facebook. I love …
I’ve talked before about my love for farmer’s markets. I love the idea of buying from local farmers and producers, rather than big chains and corporations. There was one in Baltimore I went to quite often when I lived there. It was a hike from my house in College Park, but to me it was …
A couple weeks ago my friend Bob was in town. We’ve become really great friends over the past couple of years. As a matter of fact, some people have asked if he’s my boyfriend/husband. Nope, none of that. Just fantastic friends. Bob was craving sushi, and of course I’m always up for sushi. One of …
You may not think you’ll find delicious Mexican food in a tiny Oklahoma town. That just means you’ve never been to El Mexicano in Perkins About 2 weeks ago I was meeting a friend for lunch. He lives in Cushing OK, and there is really nothing between Cushing and Stillwater other than Perkins, so we …
Take a step back in time at Celebrity Restaurant in Tulsa. Opened in 1963 as a private club, it remains in the Samara family to this day and continues to serve outstanding food. This spring I’ve been doing in-person stewardship visits with a number of our club seat holders. It gets me out of the office, …
Yukon is the Czech capital of Oklahoma. Who knew?! What I do know is that you must check out The Miller Grill, voted best restaurant in town. I only eat red meat occasionally, until I’m getting ready to donate platelets. Don’t get me wrong, I love red meat and could it eat regularly. I’m just trying …
Last weekend I visited my friends Joni & Tony in Flower Mound, TX. I usually take my time Sunday mornings: no alarm, go running, have breakfast, sometimes hit Central Market, and leave late morning. But last weekend was different. Oklahoma and Texas have had so much rain this spring…tons more than normal. In May it …
Even though I had quite a few samples at the Dallas Farmer’s Market last Saturday morning, I didn’t go crazy on them; I knew that by the time I got back to Joni’s house it would be time to start thinking about lunch. My original plan had been to leave the market by 11, but …
I love farmer’s markets. About 15 years ago I discovered one on the north side of Baltimore. It was an hour’s drive from my apartment in College Park, and my mom thought I was nuts for driving that far when there were other markets much closer. But this one was huge. They had dozens of …
On Friday after our long lunch, it was high time for a nap. Joni and I both crashed as soon as we got back to the house. A little later that evening it was time for our next meal. Tony owns his own business and works from home, so it’s normally just me and Joni …
As the sister restaurant to Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse, it’s no surprise that Del Frisco’s Grille takes food and atmosphere up several notches from your regular casual dining restaurant.
Most of my donor visits this year have been with club seat holders, but I have had a few meetings with suiteholders. This was the case Friday morning, when I met with a brand new client in Dallas. I figured since I was in Dallas anyway it would be a great opportunity to meet and …
As I mentioned in my most recent The Week That Was post, over the weekend I went to visit my friends Joni and Tony in Flower Mound, TX. I don’t get to see them very often outside of football season, and I’ll take any excuse to go to Dallas. By the time I arrived at …
