ere’s the best food advice I’ll ever give. One does not simply go to Nic’s Diner. Nay. It’s an event to train for. I skipped dinner the night before, breakfast, second breakfast and elevensies before I visited the burger hotspot for the first time ever. Dave Cathey was there to hold my hand throughout the whole experience. We showed up 20 minutes before closing time and were greeted with a line around the restaurant. Darn my socks. But let me tell you what, the wait was well worth it. Owner Justin Nicholas hit me with a barrage of questions that led to the creation of the best burger I’ve ever had in my life. Yeah, that’s right. THE BEST. I’d say biggest, too.

NATHAN POPPE And I’ve had my fair share of meaningful moments with burgers. I’ll never forget that Sonic Island Fire Burger I had after graduating high school. Nor will I forget that burger I took to Prom. Y’all were good to me, but Nic’s was just better. My favorite thing about Nic is his rad attitude. The dude just cares about people. He made an effort to make sure every one of his guests was happy. Some days I don’t even make eye contact with anyone at work or even at the road when I drive home. Nic also believes in hard work and getting off of your ass to get things done. I can appreciate that. It’s really the only way to be a champ. Nic was also kind enough to show Dave and I his new location in downtown Oklahoma City. Don’t fret, he isn’t closing his old location in the Ten-Penn district. No, the new Midtown spot will be a totally different animal. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Heck, even a bar. It’ll be the beefiest version of Nic’s ever. I guarantee it. A special thanks to Dave Cathey for his genuine and inspiring cover story. He really captured the spirit of what makes Nic’s great. It’s the sort of story that comes from understanding how hard work and repetition really makes a difference in the fast-paced food world of Oklahoma. Also, our designer Ebony Dallas went to the trouble of coloring in a bunch of my doodles for the cover art. Thanks for that. I left my markers at home again. I’m sorry/not sorry at how hungry you’ll get after checking out these pages.

BO Now’s been a total gamechanger in the Carney household of one. After guzzling (or rather, re-guzzling) “Game of Thrones,” my attention turned to “The Wire,” the network’s much-acclaimed and ethically knotty mid-aughts police drama, where the good guys aren’t so obvious to spot and the drug dealers keep pet fish. (Seriously, how is it possible not to empathize with somebody who cares as much about his fish as Wee-Bey does?) Like a Flying Lotus record it’s dense, a thick strata of show formed by its many, many characters’ thin layers of perspective. But the overwhelming volume of differing perspectives on crime and policing in Baltimore isn’t what makes “The Wire” great. What makes “The Wire” great is the voice and empathy it gives to the natives of traditional crime dramas’ outskirts, the junkies, the paper-pushing desk police, the muscle. Their inclusion expands our perspective. And so it is with Action Bronson, a relatively minor character in the field of modern hip-hop whose debut “Mr. Wonderful” exists within that universe but, much like “The Wire,” examines it from the perspective of some of its smallest inhabitants.
MATT CARNEY All about creating a deeper relationship with music.
Pimps and mob bosses need not apply. Bronson examines a seedier side of New York City (“before they turned it into a bike lane”) through the eyes of its addicts, johns and immigrants, rapping in front of a noirish backdrop production that throbs and twinkles the way the best Wu-Tang Clan records do. (It probably bears mention here that Bronson’s vocal tone is so similar to Ghostface Killah’s that the latter emcee recently said in an interview that sometimes he mistakes Bronson songs for his own.) With a litany of references to sports and cooking (“Chuck Knoblauch / spicy coconut curry from the Thai spot”) sprinkled into its tough guy talk, “Mr. Wonderful” is as delightfully bizarre a major-label rap debut I’ve heard in a while, every bit as imaginative and spontaneous as his “Blue Chips” and “Rare Chande-
liers” mixtapes. Bronson expands his palette here beyond tough talk too, affecting a cosmic bluesman persona midway through the record before emerging arms raised as a sort of folk anti-hero on “Only in America” and “The Passage,” a live recording from a show in Prague complete with fans loudly chanting his name. “Easy Rider” caps off the record with Bronson riding a Harley off into the sunset. Sometimes the meek really do inherit the earth. Meanwhile, another great new record from a fringe perspective is “Painted Shut,” the second release from coarse-voiced Frances Quinlan, who fronts Philadelphia indie-folk-rock band Hop Along. In a genre bloated with pretty-eyed boys harmonizing about trips to the west coast, Quinlan sings in fits and spurts like her throat’s wrapped in barbed wire and speaks so plainly about abuse, confusion and failure
that it hurts. It all ain’t ugly, though. “Painted Shut” is loaded with tender, pretty moments of reflection and vulnerability that you would expect from a Saddle Creek record. “Powerful Man” is probably the best song on “Painted Shut” and it serves as the album’s crux. Its narrative runs pretty straightforward: A teenage Quinlan and her friend witness an act of domestic abuse —a man striking his son — and are turned away in their attempt to report it to a teacher. But the cracks and breaks in her voice say everything you need to know about how alienating and frustrating that failure was to Quinlan. But the song takes that feeling of powerlessness and transforms it into power, the kind that gathers and mobilizes. “Powerful Man” feels very much to me like a young woman kicking and clawing against a patriarchal society with all she’s got.

W
hy limit your creativity to one discipline — one box? Why not limit, less? These are the questions that come to mind post observing interdisciplinary artist Molly O’Connor perform as Emily Kzany, the teenage Goth poet, and now witnessing her breadth of work lining the walls of The Project Box. Her latest show, “Relics from the Akashic Prairie,” is on display through June 27 at 3003 Paseo, OKC. “Relics from the Akashic Prairie” is a body of work inspired by dreams, spiritual readings, random thoughts and moments of synchronicity,” O’Connor said. If you have not had a chance to check it out, here is a preview straight from O’Connor. Q: How would you describe your personal artistic practice? Molly O’Connor: Sporadic, due to working full time and other commitments. How-

ever, I think I am often collecting and incubating ideas and gathering information that can play into a work of art. My work as an artist involves performance, visual work and creative writing. One very valuable lesson I learned while studying in Holland is that artists don’t need to limit their identity to the materials they use. For example, we often refer to artists solely as “painters” or “actors” or “musicians.” So, I often think about what message I would like to give through the work and then figure out what technique, materials and style of presentation works best. Sometimes that is a performance or sometimes it’s the creation of an object. Q: How has your artwork evolved over time? O’Connor: I think there are things that show up in my work time and time again that I can just acknowledge are part of

my style. This visual art show, Relics from the Akashic Prairie, is a new endeavor and challenge for me. One thing is for sure: as long as I am here to evolve, my artistic process will as well. Q: What was your inspiration for “Relics from the Akashic Prairie?” Please share its meaning. O’Connor: The concept for this show emerged after about two months of making art that I didn’t like. So, I think there was maybe some time needed to simply work in the clay and be playful, to not like what I was making and then to destroy it and be able to let go of the original concepts for the show and start over. A trip to the wide open prairie in the middle of Kansas during March reminded me how fascinated I am by places that have a strong presence and spirit, even if they are not especially populated by a lot of people. You get the sense of immensity in a place where the sky is endless and fields roll on for miles. Also, recently I began learning more about the concept of the Akashic Records, or “the Book of Life.” I am fascinated with the notion that all things and beings are connected, and somehow “The Akashic Prairie” be came an idea. Q: Please describe your process for creating art. O’Connor: I think I require lots of time to incubate ideas and play with the materials before designing and working towards an actual product. I journal daily and like to sketch. I feel like taking walks or spontaneous “artist dates” to thrift stores,

random places or small towns help open my mind to new creative ideas. I like to see other work to get ideas. Designing an entire show seemed a bit intimidating at times, but it came together step by step. For the works in this show, I often worked in the studio room late nights or on the weekends. The work took over the studio space and I had to also use my kitchen table and living room as a place to assemble the works. All of the pieces are constructed with mixed materials such as clay, glass, paint and wood. So, at times all of it was sort of in process like an assembly line. Q: What message do you hope to convey through your work? O’Connor: Joy, mostly, because that is what I experienced while making the work. Some of the pieces are based off of specific thoughts that have emerged in dream states or meditation. So, I tried to create a visual representation of a phrase or thought that I found significant. I feel that something as mysterious as the Akashic records (or Book of Life) are not out of reach for us. We all have a divine direct connection and the ability to tap into a higher awareness. I hope that the work brings that to light. Q: Does your work as a performance artist and a sculptor/mixed media artist overlap? If so, how? O’Connor: At times. As a performance artist, I feel I am also trying to create a very striking visual scene or experience. So, I often put a lot of
thought into costume, colors or scene choices for the performance work. Most of my performances are comical and are character-based. One character I created, Emily Kzany, is a teenage goth poet. So, her look reflects that. But the work she creates includes creative writing and drawings. Q: Do you have a favorite piece in the show? Please tell us about one. O’Connor: Gosh, there are a few pieces that I do feel resonate more with me at times. Some of the works that I almost destroyed along the way of production actually turned out to be some of my favorite, like “Marg” or “Dwelling in the Unknown.” Q: What was your defining moment as an artist? O’Connor: I don’t think I ever have had this! I am still learning. I have had lots of moments where I have gone to bed and my house is cluttered up with art supplies and works in process and I think, “when am I going to start living like a grown-up?” and then I consider that I am happy amongst the chaos. Q: When and where can the public view your art next? Any planned shows? O’Connor: I will have a piece in the OVAC 12 x 12 show. Maybe I need to get back in the studio and make some more work! — Ebony Dallas, ArtSpeaks writer and designer

band q&a
BAND TITLE
Pleasing sensation felt with new lineup Q: How does the fact that you’re a visual artist by day affect how you approach the aesthetic of Feel Spectres? Goad: That’s really hard for me. I’m a visual artist for a living, but it’s always been hard. Probably any designer would tell you this: It’s hard to do stuff for yourself. It’s easier to do it for clients for some reason. It’s certainly good that I have that skill set, I guess. We’ve worked with other designers who have done posters. I love that, because that’s one less thing I have to do for that show. I’m not a complete control freak about that stuff. I just definitely want it to be good. That said, I probably do 75 percent of our flier stuff and all the artwork for the records. Q: One of the things I like about Feel Spectres — and I’m kind of attributing this to your ages — is the pacing of this band. You’re not playing four shows a week, and you have good artwork, and your releases were real studio albums. Is all of that purposely meticulous? Goad: Our ages are fairly different. I’m 45, and Al is 48. Tory and Alaina are younger. There’s about a 15-year separation between the boys and the girls. We have families and not much time to do shows. I’m busy with my art career. It’s funny you say that. I kind of feel like we saturate too much. We’re playing this week two nights in a row, which is rare. We never do that. I always thought it was cool when I was in college that bands like Glue or the Flaming Lips, back then, they would never play here. There might be a Lips show every couple of years, and it turned into an event, sort of. It’s not by design. I like that we don’t play that often. And it’s tough for us to go on a five-week tour; everyone but me has kids. We aren’t in a position to do that, and I don’t want to do that.
O
klahoma City mod rockers Feel Spectres are at once retro and futuristic, a feel-good, spacey pop party fronted by guitarist/vocalist Matt Goad, also a popular Oklahoma visual artist, along with drummer Allen Cory, guitarist/vocalist Tory Ayers (Euclid Crash) and bassist Alaina Avants. Q: Is Feel Spectres primarily your project? Matt Goad: Actually, I’d give the credit to Allen. I got to know Al, and I knew he was a drummer. We became friends and drinking buddies, and one day, he just said, “This is stupid. We need to play together.” He really is the one who started it. Back then, it was us and Mike and April Mays.
Page 12
June 17 June 30, 2015
Q: That was the lineup on the first record, but the last one has Tory and Alaina. When and how did that lineup change happen? Goad: Tory used to come to American Boyfriends shows. She was in a band called Euclid Crash. A lot of kids gave me their tapes back then, but she was at all of our shows, even the ones no one was at. I got to know her, and we became friends. When Mike and April told us they wanted to leave to focus on other things, I wanted to keep it going. We had a bunch of new songs, so I let it sit for about a month, then asked Tory if she’d be interested, and she suggested Alaina. They came over, and I gave them CDs, and a week later we had a band again.
Q: Are the Feel Spectres songs primarily yours? Goad: Tory’s a great songwriter, but I know she’s treating this like my vision. I would love if she wrote more, but it often ends up being me bringing the song ideas, and we work them out together, but we all have credit on the songs. Q: “Meet Your Double” was released in August 2014. Have you written more since then? Goad: I write songs as part of a habit or a tic. When I’m watching a movie at home, I’ll sit with a guitar, and after six months or so, I have a handful of songs for us to pull from. Right now we have six new ones that aren’t on the last album. We’ll have another record out hopefully by the end of the year. — Becky Carman, for LOOKatOKC

New ‘Jurassic’ creation lets the good times roar
R
eptiles aren’t well-known for their intelligence. Neither are today’s blockbusters. So, dinosaurs and a big budget should get along famously, right? Meet “Jurassic World,” the fourth and most advertised of the CGI-heavy series that treats genetic science similar to how Vin Diesel’s driving treats physics. Totally off-the-wall. Much like each progressive entry of the “Fast & Furious” franchise, “Jurassic World” is the biggest, dumbest and most blatantly entertaining one of the bunch. Why? Because blockbusters force themselves to top their predecessors. It’s their trapping. I guess that’s just human nature. I can’t help but think back on Jeff Goldblum/Ian Malcolm’s logic back in the “Jurassic Park” days. “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.” But I know why this flick got made. It’s hungry for box office glory. In 1993, director Steven Spielberg’s first entry stomped into theaters, swallowed worldwide box office records and nabbed three Oscar wins. I wouldn’t count on Oscar gold this time around, but “Jurassic World” is built as an instant crowd-pleaser. The latest prehistoric entry rejoins the original park after it’s grown into a seemingly well-oiled, island-wide attraction. Business is big on Isla Nublar, but it needs to be bigger. The $7 sodas aren’t covering raptor food like they used to. So, the owners brainstorm and invent the Indominus rex (fun to say, hard to train). She’s a genetically engineered dinosaur with the temper of a bratty toddler and the
Page 14
June 17 June 30, 2015
size of a semitruck. Well, once she gets loose, it’s up to Owen Grady (Chris Pratt, in full hero mode) and the criminally underserved parks operations manager Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard, reduced to full babe mode). I’m pretty interested to know Pratt’s workout routine, because he’s the only human character on the entire island that’s able to carry the film. It’s all on his shoulders, and I was all but cheering for a dinosaur to eat Howard’s character. Sorry, Ron Howard. A pair of youngsters (Gray and Zach Mitchell, forgettable) and their aunt (Howard) are mostly ornamental here. Their job is to scream and RUN. And there’s plenty of frights to go around. It’s easy to forget, but the heart of these dinosaur films is steeped in horror. I’d argue that the “Jurassic Park” series is the most likable horror series ever created. I think that’s mostly because its villains are so incredulous, and they look amazing. It’s funny how “World” and “Park” differ in their approach to horror. Remember all that buildup and suspense back in the ‘90s before you could see the Tyrannosaurus rex for the first time? It’s like waiting until New Year’s Eve to open your Christmas presents. Horrifying. “Jurassic World” is into spoiling its audience. More dinosaurs. More explosions. More teeth. It tells you what you got for Christmas in November and lets you open half your presents early. “Jurassic World” wants to harness those classic frights and be mean, but its got more bark than bite. Overall, it’s just less a less memorable movie experience. It’s also amusing how scary “Park” was
when only a handful of people actually die. It was a story of survival. “World” kills people in its sleep. I found myself laughing because the violence and death scenes were so over-the-top and ridiculous. Strapping cameras to the heads of raptors? Excuse me while I pass out laughing. I felt like Dr. Evil was directing this film sometimes. For a movie that tries to recapture the spirit of the original, it sure falls short, especially when almost every action setup is a explosive battle royale. The doom of seeing a cup of water shake or even just glimpsing the shadow of a raptor is scarier to me than running into the Indominus rex over and over again. And don’t get me started on the time that the film wastes explaining flimsy logic like weaponizing dinosaurs for military-style missions, or when the park’s owner lectures the head scientist about creating too awesome of a dinosaur. Whatever, dude. You ordered it. That’d be like demanding a cheeseburger with extra cheese and slapping the McDonald’s cashier because there’s cheese on your burger. Nonsense. I could poke holes in “Jurassic World” all day. However, it doesn’t change the fact it’s still massively entertaining and a perfect fit for the summer movie season. Just don’t expect this entry to fossilize into a classic. This is purely blockbuster fun cranked to 11 with raptors with friggin’ cameras strapped to their heads. If you want a good time, then turn off your brain and let the good times roar. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor

McCarthy hits career highlight with new action/comedy vehicle
T
he laughs are lethal in “Spy,” the latest comedy entry aiming to lampoon the self-serious spy genre. Omnipresent comedian Melissa McCarthy not only manages to turn the genre on its head but also dropkicks it in the face while shouting all the curse words ever. Kudos to her. We’re halfway through the year, and she’s handily becomes the lifeblood of what will easily remain the year’s funniest comedy. Susan Cooper (McCarthy, turned up to 11 here) is a CIA analyst stuck behind a desk. She’s the eyes and ears of Bradley Fine (Jude Law, playing an overzealous James Bond-type) and saves his hide from the safety of Langley. Unhappy all cooped up, she volunteers to finish Fine’s deadly mission of thwarting the sell of a nuke.

But the plot is the last thing on this flick’s mind. No, it’s the jokes. And they fly just as fast and furious as the steady stream of action. If you didn’t dig the feminist undercurrent in “Mad Max: Fury Road,” I not only feel bad for you but also suggest you’ll need to stop reading now. McCarthey kicks tail and even gets to grow as a character. A progressive, smart female empowerment story gets plenty of screen time and, most importantly, it totally works here. It makes things things feel fresher than usual, too. McCarthy finally delivers what was lacking from her uneven run of lukewarm, post-”Bridesmaids” comedies that were destined for Netflix (“The Heat,” “Tammy,” “Identity Thief”). This pretty much erases those movies, because “Spy” displays her timing and talent perfectly. I’d
even argue her secret agent work here is just as entertaining as a Bond or Bourne film. I’d also throw a lot of credit toward director/writer Paul Feig (“Bridesmaids”), who knows how to bring out the best in McCarthy. It’s also Law and Jason Statham’s most likable, interesting work in years. “Spy” drags a tickle in its third act and nothing wholly original is on display, but when you do so much comedy right, nothing feels too wrong.

Oklahoman filmmakers changing the film industry with ‘Blueberry Hall’
Cast and crew shooting a “Blueberry Hall” classroom training scene in Guthrie’s Temple of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
A
nyone who’s never been on a movie set probably has an idea of what it’s like: bright lights, diva actors and brooding directors. It all seems otherworldly, like some magic behind the curtain. “Blueberry Hall” shatters those misconceptions. The film follows Ian (Matt Holmes), a college debate student. With his sidekick Dustin, played by Josh Bonzie, an Oklahoma native, he gets wrapped up in the world of prescription drug use to reach his goal of a free ride to Harvard Law School. The film was shooting May 28, at the Scottish Rite Temple in Guthrie when I got to hang out on set. This temple is reportedly the largest masonic temple in the world. Every massive room is like a work of art from a different century. Intricate murals and stained glass windows so tall they could almost disappear into the clouds. They weave in and out of each other, making the building a visual storybook of architectural history. I made my way to the room they’re filming in for the day: four white walls with two windows and a door. Roughly 30 people are filed into a room that is slightly lack luster than the spectacular rooms I was taken through before. The scene is set up to be a classroom; three long desks with chairs surrounding. Inside, it’s a constant buzz of actors practicing lines under their breathe, the occasional chuckle from a joke or the discussion of camera
Page 16

placement. Finally, someone gives the order of silence. After that the only people to speak are the actors to read lines, the director and the man that whispers “action.” Actors read their lines and there’s an occasional break in character. “Cut, reset, action.” After repeating this process from three camera angles for what seems like an eternity, it takes an hour and a half to wrap a scene that was a minute long and that’s being generous. The average, almost bland work space is offset by the work going on, like a colony of bees; everyone has their own task, and a common goal. The team works diligently and hushed. Keshav Tyagi, director, producer and writer for the film, says it’s that kind of teamwork that helped create the southern gothic film. “It’s a really cool team aspect to meet and be creative then go our separate ways to produce that, then come back and we have something built from truly the ground up,” said Tyagi. Tyagi, a man with many hats, seems very confident in the work he and his cast and crew are doing. But ask him to do something like this a couple of years ago, and he may not have taken you up on it. The film scene in Oklahoma has evolved in the past five years, and Tyagi says he has the people that created homegrown films before him to thank for keeping the film industry in Oklahoma growing. Without them,
he says he wouldn’t have been able to do what he’s doing now two years ago. One of those people that came before him is Ty Dickenson. Founder of independent film production company, Okiewood, Dickenson is Tyagi’s assistant director on “Blueberry Hall.” A reason Dickenson and others have pioneered the film industry in Oklahoma is their past experience in Hollywood. “There’s a high level of pretention in the film industry,” said Dickenson. “Here we can get out of the way of ourselves and joke and relax.” The experience Dickenson and others who worked on the film had from film industries in Los Angeles and New York helped them take all the rules they learned and break them however they wanted. One rule they’ve decide to create, is to keep Oklahomans in the film industry employed. “99 percent of us are Oklahoman,” said Dickenson. “One actor is from LA and he is my friend. We are creating a family here.” Bonzie has seen enough movie sets to know the importance of the family dynamic. “America: Imagine the World Without Her,” “The Posthuman Project,” and countless plays at the University of Oklahoma are just some of the productions on his resume. “I’ve worked with a lot of the crew members before and, I’ve got to say, this is probably my favorite crew of people to work with,” said Bonzie. “Everyone is just so open and generous with their time.” Generosity helped actor Kasey Weir, who plays Ian’s love interest, Michelle, shed her insecurities. “As I was driving to set for the first day I was really nervous,” said Weis. “But the second I got on set all of that melted away. Everyone is rooting for each other, which is a really good atmosphere to work in and be vulnerable.” “Blueberry Hall” was accepted into the Oklahoma Film Enhancement Rebate Program, which offers a cash rebate of 35 to 37 percent on qualifying Oklahoma expenditures to film and television productions filming in the state. The rebate is funded by state tax dollars, and it’s Dickenson’s mission to pay that forward. “It’s the Oklahoman’s that are letting us use their tax dollars, so let’s put it back into our state and create something here,” said Dickenson. “Let’s not depend on other people for jobs, let’s create our own jobs.” The family aspect on set is like a palpable connection that flowed through them, or an inside joke that any outsider would want in on. “Blueberry Hall” and the people that created it are changing the game of film production, by just being generous and driven Oklahomans; no divas to be found. — Leilah Naifeh, for LOOKatOKC

The bar closed Memorial Day weekend with a notice sent out via social media it would reopen “in a few days.” Tuesday, both Greg Seal and Sweet confirmed the separation. “It is with a heavy heart that I announce that I am no longer associated with Grandad’s Bar,” Seal said. “I look forward to my next adventure. … It was a lot of fun for a while but it’s time to move on.” Seal opened Grandad’s, 317 NW 23, in 2012 just as Uptown’s revival was taking root with the opening of restaurants and shops. The old-style beer bar featured a living room set dating to the 1970s, corrugated steel decor and a 1938 Frigidaire refrigerator.

The beer bar prohibited smoking and featured country, western and bluegrass acts weekly. More recently, Seal opened up a special event room in the building’s second floor. Such offerings, however, were apparently not enough to make the bar financially viable. “I was involved in helping Greg getting the bar open, but operations were left to him,” Sweet said. “It’s a tough task to ask someone who has no business experience to take over full operation of a bar. I’ve asked Greg to step back and I’m stepping forward from my position as a silent partner to bring in new people to run it.” Bricktown success Those new partners will be Anna and Drew Mains, operators of Knucks Wheelhouse and In The Raw, restaurants along the Bricktown Canal. Sweet praised the Mains for their success in reviving In the Raw after they bought the then-struggling sushi restaurant three years ago.
Sweet, who lives in Heritage Hills and has a law firm in Automobile Alley, said announcements will be made in a few weeks on what changes might take place at Grandad’s. Live music will still be a part of the venue, but with less frequency, Sweet said. “We feel there is a real untapped potential for a craft cocktail feel in Uptown and yet keep the bar rooted in being on Route 66,” Sweet said. “We’re talking to (marketing consultant) Brian Winkeler about branding. We do believe Grandads’s has a decent brand, but we’re looking at something that is not just a beer bar. We just wanted to close it down and make the transition from Greg to the new partners. We want to make it more customer friendly and comfortable. We’ll, be doing a full refresh of the bar.” — Steve Lackmeyer, for LOOKatOKC

evelopment announcements are coming out at a rapid pace for the west fringe of downtown, an area that just a dozen years ago was written off as being too plagued with crime and blight to ever make a comeback. In just the last couple of weeks, the future for the area around the landmark 99-year-old Fred Jones Assembly Plant at 900 W Main has changed dramatically. Recall that the former Ford Model T assembly plant is being redeveloped into a 21c Museum Hotel, which will feature a full-service hotel, a contemporary art gallery open to the public at all hours, restaurant and lounge. On the surrounding property to the east, north and south, developers Mark Beffort and Andy Burnett are working on plans to building housing and retail. Development to the southeast of the assembly plant, meanwhile, will turn two old warehouses into an upscale restaurant and music hall. Much of this development will create new gateways from Classen Boulevard into greater downtown on both Main Street and Sheridan. A transformation of the 700 block of West Sheridan into restaurants, offices and retail from “skid row” into the popular Film Row is nearly complete, and development yet to be announced will likely go west and connect with the Fred Jones Assembly Plant block. The Sheridan Avenue streetscape, meanwhile,
Page 18

is changing as well, with construction nearing completion on the new police headquarters and renovations underway on the old Main Street Arcade, 629 W Main. The street still has quite a few surface parking lots – but active discussions are continuing on how best to consolidate those lots into structured parking and create even more opportunities for in-fill development. A new municipal courthouse is set to be built at Shartel and Couch Drive, and one block east another surface parking lot, 627 Couch Drive, will be replaced by the 34-unit Civic Center Lofts. To the north we have another area that a dozen years ago was considered a long shot – an area between NW 10, NW 6, Classen Boulevard and Shartel that is commonly referred to as SoSA (South of St. Anthony). The neighborhood is already home to one of the city’s largest collection of modern contemporary houses with another two dozen either being built or under design. One of the largest stretches of empty land in the area, fronting NW 6 between Shartel and Frances Avenues, is now set to be developed into 14 forsale townhomes. Further east at NW 5 and Lee Avenue, the Bob Moore Auto Group is set to turn its collision center into a modern headquarters. The big boundary to jump is now Classen Boulevard, which is already seeing a revival with construction of a new headquarters being built at NW
12 and Classen for Catholic Charities of Oklahoma and a renovation set to begin soon, turning an old tire center into a diner at NW 6 and Classen. The former CMR building on the west side of Classen at NW 6, meanwhile, is set to become the new Oklahoma City Public Schools headquarters. The revival will continue in the most unlikely spot – former gas stations and blighted properties between Classen and Western Avenue, NW 9 and NW 12 that were long magnets for prostitutes and drug dealers. We’ve seen some success by urban pioneers in the area, most notably the Istvan gallery at 1218 N Western. The gas stations are now closed, and I suspect will soon be history. If these blocks are redeveloped, we are led straight into the Classen-10-Penn neighborhood and the 16th Street Plaza District, two areas that are thriving after decades of neglect. And it is along McKinley Avenue, at NW 15 and NW 16, where my latest story reveals plans by developer Ben Sellers to build mixed-use housing and retail along the dividing line between Classen10-Penn and the Plaza District. The urban core revival, once limited to downtown, is spreading in all directions, and this westward momentum so far shows no hint of slowing down. — Steve Lackmeyer, for LOOKatOKC

he seven most common words I hear in my capacity as Food Editor for The Oklahoman are, in exact order, these: “Where is the best place to get ...” The eighth, and sometimes ninth, word(s) in this common query include “barbecue ... a steak ... Mexican food ... pizza ... a burger?” The only one of those questions I answer without hesitation is the last one, “a burger.” Answers to the others often depend on where I’ve eaten most recently. But the burger answer has never wavered since 2009: “Nic’s Grill.” The only reason it’s been since 2009 is because that’s the first time I was able to make it to Nic’s Grill, 1201 N Pennsylvania Ave., early enough to beat the line and get a seat.

Nic’s has been featured on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” and the subject of dozens of articles and blog posts for its burger prowess. Actor Colin Farrell loved it enough to wax poetic about it on “The Tonight Show.” As great a ride as Justin “Nic” Nicholas has had over the past 17 years, he’s had an itch to see if he could build on his success with a full-service restaurant. He’s wondered if he had what it takes to go bigger. I have good news and better news. The good: Come fall, Nicholas is going to get his chance. The better: for those of you who’ve never had a chance to eat at Nic’s Grill, you’re going to get your chance when Nic’s Diner and Lounge opens in Midtown.
THE DREAM Back in March, Nicholas told me about

his plans and even walked me through the brick building he leased in October when work began to get the property up to code and ready for business. Nicholas explained — in remarkable detail — what would occupy every square foot of the place as we walked through. “Over there’s gonna be library cabinets ... these walls will be painted periwinkle ... here’s gonna be big lounge chairs ... the kitchen’s gonna be right here ... We’re gonna put the walk-in on that back wall, might have to cut a hole in the wall ... downstairs is gonna be the lounge ...” And on it went for more than an hour, Nic’s mind almost always a half-step ahead of his tongue. In the approximately six hours of conversation Nicholas and I have shared since the last week of March, it’s become clear that he thinks of almost nothing else but opening the new restaurant. After close to two decades, his ability to serve the best burger in town has become second nature, allowing him to peer into the future just enough to negotiate a deal, draw up plans, hire contractors and put into motion the construction of his dream restaurant. But for now, Nicholas holds court in the burger habitat of his creation.

June 17 June 30, 2015
THE REALITY Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, Nicholas doesn’t stray from his griddle too often. He waves his spatula like it’s an extension of his hand as he juggles conversation and proselytizing with a griddle piled with onions, bacon, jalapenos and mammoth patties of beef. When folks walk in the door, Nicholas asks whether they’re eating a burger or pork chops or whatever the daily special might be. Once seated, either Nicholas or Jovon Bunkley will get the particulars: Cheese? Onions? Peppers? Curly fries? Something to drink? Sometimes, if Nicholas hears an order that doesn’t sound right, he might gently become the diner’s burger spirit-guide. “Just meat and bread?” he asked a woman seated next to me, trying his best not to sound incredulous. “Don’t embarrass me,” she giggled. “It’s OK, it’s OK,” he said. “But they tell me the onions are pretty good on ’em.” She hesitated briefly before conceding, “OK, I’ll try the onions.”
“I can put ’em on the side,” he assured. “That’s OK,” she said. “Sir, you said you wanted bacon on that, right?” he said as his attention pivots better than Enes Kanter. “Right.” The plate topped with a brawny cheeseburger marauded by fried onions and thick bacon hit the counter before the man confirmed. About that time, Bunkley delivered six more half-poundish balls of raw hamburger in time for Nicholas to smash into patties, give a good crisp crust and serve tender and juicy in the middle. There are no fussy toppings, no sweet potato fries, not even onion rings or milk shakes. Just the same grade-A burger people line up Monday through Friday to get and appreciate so much they don’t even complain about Nic’s not being open on the weekend. Or for dinner. Once the burger arrives, seasoned Nic’s diners know to eat quickly or risk the bottom bun vanishing under the weight of rapidly releasing juicy goodness, aka grease. So, if Nicholas engages you in conversation, which is inevitable if you’re seated at the counter, he will not be offended if you

gobble as he gabs. “You eatin’ today, Cathey?” he asked an instant later without turning around. “Everything on it plus jalapenos,” I tell him, though I doubt he needed that much detail since my order never, ever changes. Nicholas knows I’m there to finish what we started back in March, when he asked me to hold off on writing the story a couple of months so he could talk to some folks before word got out. But that doesn’t break his rhythm. At 46 with a troublesome back, Nicholas can feel the end of service, and he’s in a dead sprint to get there. But if he was anxious to clear the place, no one dining could tell. He wouldn’t allow it. His recipe for hospitality is the same as for making the best burger in town: give 100 percent. “I try to treat everybody who walks through that door with respect, no matter what,” he said. “They have no idea how appreciative I am. I know they don’t have to eat with me because there’s a lotta places to get a burger out there. So, I try to treat ’em with respect, give ’em 100 percent and try my hardest to make ’em a good burger.” Nicholas is as diligent about keeping a positive
LOOKATOKC.COM
attitude as he is about serving great food. “You won me over with the onions,” said the lady to my right as she prepared to leave. “You liked it?” “It was delicious.” Nicholas spun around from the griddle to ask her a question he asks nearly all of his satisfied customers: “You be ready for another one tomorrow?” They never say it, but you’d be surprised how often the answer is “yes.”
NOT FAR FROM THE TREE Regardless of how many curveballs Dina Dillinger dodged or endured while raising her two children, the one thing she never did was quit working. She had no other choice, raising two children on her own and lucky enough to have a trade she could use to support them. Her effort didn’t go unnoticed by her son Justin Nicholas. “Whenever I think I got it bad or something’s not going the way I want, and feel like quittin’, I always just think of her and how she always worked,” Nicholas said. “She’s been doin’ hair 50 years — still
does it today. A lot of them ladies, she’s been doin’ their hair since before I was even born.” Even in those days, as a youngster growing up in a humble, rural home outside Chickasha, he dreamt of opening his own restaurant. But opportunities to chase that dream weren’t in great supply. So, he went into business doing something he knew: yard work. Nicholas doesn’t call it a landscaping business, he calls it a “lawn-mowin’ business” because “I didn’t have time for landscaping, and it was just me.” His sweat earned Nicholas enough money to buy a couple of properties he was able to flip into a profit in the mid-1990s, which led him to a shabby property in Oklahoma City’s Ten-Penn area, near NW 10 and Pennsylvania. Between the main house and Pennsylvania Avenue sat a little 22-by-22 lunch counter that had once been a popular spot called Marsha’s Cafe, then Marsha’s Sister’s Cafe, then back to Marsha’s Cafe before closing for good a couple of years before Nicholas found it. “Big part of the reason I wanted the place was the restaurant,” he said as the empty seats began to refill with less regularity. “I’d always dreamed about having my own restaurant. Always loved to

cook, and always loved food. I thought if I worked at it I could get pretty good at it.” The place was in rough shape, but luckily Nicholas got his work ethic from his mother. He’s made numerous repairs and improvements himself, including black-and-blue awnings and some landscaping, which shows an artist’s touch around the outside. “I remember the first time I showed the place to my mom,” he laughed. “She was pretty worried I didn’t know what I was doin’ — and I didn’t! “But we got it lookin’ pretty good now.” Nicholas said it took him “three or four years” before he became proficient as a burger maker. “I thought they were better then, but folks who been coming since then tell me they’re just the same.” By 2005, Nic’s virtuoso burgers were drawing a steady crowd out the door and around the corner, leading to a visit from Guy Fieri in 2010. Nicholas credits Fieri’s visit with changing his life forever. After that, diners came in droves from all over the country, and it hasn’t slowed down. Two years ago, he entered a contract with the Holloway Restaurant Group to sell Nic’s burgers at Icehouse in the Myriad Botanical Gardens. The version sold there is a close facsimile, though a touch smaller. When Nic’s Diner and Lounge in Midtown, 1116 N Robinson Ave., opens in the fall, he will serve
Page 26
June 17 June 30, 2015
the same burgers, pork chops, chicken-fried steak with transcendent cream gravy and add a few new items. The new place will offer full service and include an expansive basement bar. Back will be the breakfast service he had to abandon for health reasons two years ago, and dinner will, at long last, be served. “For a long time I wondered if people would come if we give ’em a a little nicer place to sit, good service, a little more classy atmosphere but with my food. You know, just a nice, quiet atmosphere with comfort food, stuff people love. I wonder if they’d come.”
TIME WILL TELL After the last customer exited, Nicholas invited me to join him for a basket of hand-cranked curly fries over a bed of shredded cheddar cheese, fried onions, peppers and bacon. For the first time in nearly an hour, he took a breath and relaxed — but only for a second. He pointed to a large television hanging on the north wall. He’s proud to tell the story about how his customers pooled their money to replace the original set. “When I first opened I had an old 36-inch TV, and man it was heavy,” he said. “The picture wasn’t too good on it, so customers pooled their money and bought me a 44-inch set — kind of a show of
appreciation. Then, couple years ago we got this 55-inch.” If folks are inspired to give more than the money they owe, it’s a pretty good sign they feel they’re getting more than the burger and fries they ordered. Earlier, two gentlemen told Nicholas as they stood to leave that they had driven in from Yukon because they “heard how good a burger he made.” “How’d we do?” Nicholas asked. One of them placed his thumb and forefingers to his lips, kissed them toward Nic and said, “Best I ever had.” His partner agreed. As usual, Nicholas asked if they’d be ready for another tomorrow. “No, but we’ll be back,” the man said. “We’ll definitely be back.” The last couple out of the restaurant that day were a father and daughter who’d made the trip up from Ada, home of the iconic Folger’s Drive-In, which has been open for decades. “How’d it compare to Folger’s?” I asked the young lady. “Oh,” she gasped. “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to eat a burger anywhere else.” Come fall, she’ll have at least one other place.

Oklahoma City barber raising funds to open state’s first mobile barber shop
T
he 26-foot, 1960 Airstream Land Yacht that barber Bruce Waight envisions transforming into a barber shop on wheels needs some work. The Airstream has been sitting for a few months in a field outside Jones and is filled with as much dust as it is 1960s charm. The floor is chipped and warped and a toilet bowl is sitting in the dining area. Waight dreams of transforming the Airstream into Oklahoma’s first mobile barber shop. He’s started a crowd-funding campaign to raise $20,500 to remodel the RV. Inside the Land Yacht, Waight envisions a waiting area and three chairs that he will lease out to barbers. He also wants to be able to set up chairs and table games under an awning outside of the mobile barbershop. Waight knows the trailer needs a lot of work. He searched for months online to find the perfect vintage, aluminum RV for the project. “It really needs some TLC right now,” he said. “But I wanted that iconic Airstream, sleek, stream-lined look.” Waight wants to take the mobile barber shop to local nonprofits, to cut hair for people who might not have their own transportation to make it to a barbershop on a

regular basis, as well as at local events. “Especially for black people, the barbershop is a center of the community where a lot of men-
toring and counseling happens,” Waight said. While mobile barber shops have gained popularity in other states, including California and Texas, barber shops on wheels are still not permitted by state law in Oklahoma. Waight has been working with the Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering to change the law that would allow him to launch his mobile barbering venture. A proposal that would allow mobile barbershops is in the works and awaits approval by Gov. Mary Fallin, said Sherry G. Lewelling, executive director of the Board of Cosmetology and Barbering. Barbers are subject to surprise inspections by the state and the logistics of a drop-in inspection at a mobile barber shop was one of the reasons that such units were banned in the state, Lewelling said. Under the new proposed regulations, mobile barbers would submit their scheduled locations to the the state so an inspector can drop in at any time. “We’ve had several inquiries about this, and we just feel like it would serve good purpose to the community, as long as we can keep up with them and they are available to that unannounced inspection,” Lewelling said. — Briana Bailey, for LOOKatOKC
