McGill’s is fine dining at dinner, upscale dining at lunch. Either option, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful. You won’t be disappointed. This spring I have been doing in-person stewardship visits with our club seat holders. It gets me out of the office, and allows me to meet with our donors on …
Karsten Creek Golf Club is the home of Oklahoma State Golf, and features a full-service restaurant. The food and stunning views will keep you coming back. Football and men’s basketball is what drives revenue in college athletics, so other sports often get the short end of the stick when it comes to donations. Our current athletic …
Oklahoma is known for its BBQ. I don’t eat it a ton, but I’ve definitely had my fare share. I would say the biggest down side is by the time you leave the restaurant, you smell like BBQ for the rest of the day. I was meeting a donor in Edmond for lunch earlier this …
Last week I was in Oklahoma City for appointments. I didn’t have a lunch meeting scheduled, so I was on my own. I had been craving sushi the previous weekend and didn’t get to have any, so I knew I needed to have it for lunch. I couldn’t find a place I wanted on restaurant.com, …
Locally owned, El Golfo Restaurant in Silver Spring Maryland serves up delicious food in a family atmosphere. Stop by on Wednesdays for Jazz night! One of my favorite weekends of the year while working for Maryland Football was the spring game weekend and letterman golf outing. Sure it was a lot of work to put on …
A couple weeks ago I was on Facebook, and saw that someone had commented about a place in DC called Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken. I like doughnuts, but don’t eat them very often because I don’t want to look like one. I do, however, have an unhealthy obsession with fried chicken. And when I looked further, …
Oklahoma City has a lot of wonderful restaurants. For delicious food and mimosas for a great Sunday Funday, try Stella Modern Italian Cuisine. I was raised Catholic and went to church every Sunday as a kid, but I rarely go now. There’s honestly not really any reason that I don’t. So I decided to try …
Tony always makes breakfast on Sunday mornings for me & Joni before I leave Dallas. I’m not sure if he does it all the time, but he does it when I’m there, so that is the most important. Breakfast tides me over until I get to OKC, and then I’m ready for lunch. I looked …
I was pleasantly surprised when I was on restaurant.com a couple weeks ago and saw that they offer certificates for Farina’s Winery & Café. I had been there once with Joni last summer, and it’s one of her favorite places. They only offer $25 or $50 certificates, but we were pretty confident we wouldn’t have …
If there’s one thing that Joni and I do well, it’s eat. And drink wine. We discussed options of places to eat dinner, and I looked at restaurant.com, but nothing jumped out at us. Joni suggested The Classic Café. She said they usually go there as a special-occasion dinner, but since we hadn’t seen each other …
I’ve made it my new mission to get out of Stillwater more often. I like living here, and have made tons of great friends, but there’s only so much to do. This town really caters more towards families and college kids. And besides, OKC is really growing. Spending more time there the last couple months …
On Monday I had a lunch appointment with a couple who has club seats. They recommended Cafe 501. I had been there once before, and had an average experience. But I wanted to give it another chance, so I agreed. Originally we were scheduled for 12:30, but since I didn’t have an appointment right before …
I drove back from the Big 12 tournament on Saturday. The drive home always seems to take a million times longer than the drive there, no matter where you’re coming from. I always get really tired–and hungry–right about in Wichita, so it’s the perfect place to stop for a little pick-me-up. For some reason the …
College basketball has always been one of my favorite sports. I’ve never really liked the NBA, because to me too many teams don’t really kick up their game until the playoffs. And there’s so much other “stuff” happening when you go to games in person. College is about the game, the energy and excitement of the students, and the …
A couple weeks ago I was in Tulsa meeting with donors. I didn’t have a lunch appointment scheduled, so met my friend Shawn. He had talked about a place called Ri Le, a local, family-owned Vietnamese restaurant. I love local, love Vietnamese, and love trying new things. Its on 91st, right near to the Whole …
