Downtown Tulsa is home to one of the finest collections of art deco architecture in the country, ranking with cities such as Miami and Chicago. Our iconic beacon, the BOK Center, is a major catalyst for drawing visitors and Tulsans alike for concerts, sporting events and more. ONEOK Field, home of our city’s baseball team—the Tulsa Drillers— has proven to be one of the major players in the revitalization of downtown along with the Philbrook Downtown and the Woody Guthrie Center. These new developments mesh well with already established entertainment venues such as Cain’s Ballroom, Brady Theater and the Tulsa Performing Arts Center.

If you’re looking for outdoor activities, Tulsa offers plenty of exciting opportunities for outdoor fun and recreation. Take a stroll down the scenic paths winding along the Arkansas River and take in the beauty of our famed River Parks.

uring Wicked’s opening number, “No One Mourns the Wicked,” the bubbly Glinda ponders aloud: “Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?” Over the course of the nearly three hour production that focuses on a post-feminist, socially conscious reinterpretation of the story of Oz’s Wicked Witch of the West, feel free to draw your own conclusion.

Juggling winning irreverence with heart and thoughtfulness, the three-time Tony Awardwinning production has for over 10 years been providing spin control on what really caused Dorothy Gale’s green nemesis to come off so cruel and heartless in pursuit of reclaiming “stolen” ruby red slippers in 1939’s The Wizard of Oz. Based on the best-selling 1995 revisionist novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked not only takes some brilliantlyexecuted liberties with the source material, but also tackles aspects of social injustice with just enough levity to provide thought provocation without a broom beating you over the head.

Helping sell the victimization of poor Elphaba is Emma Hunton.

With credits that include the Broadway company of Spring Awakening (Ilse) as well as the Off-Broadway company of Rent (Maureen), Hunton is a relative newcomer to the Yellow Brick Road. The 22-year-old New Yorker donned the pivotal black hat on April 23, 2014 after Alison Luff left the Emerald City company. In a relatively short time, Hunton proved she had the chops to portray a courageous figure strong enough to stand up against corruption no matter the cost. Brilliantly talented, Hunton drives home her character’s passion and angst with vocal mastery on standout numbers like “No Good Deed” and “Defying Gravity.”

What drew you to the bright lights of Broadway?

Theater was just a place my mom put me to help me get rid of energy. But I always knew I wanted to be an actor. I was home schooled a lot as a kid and it was a great way to make friends and meet new people. I moved to New York from California when I was 16 and have never looked back.

For your age you’ve already had some fairly sizable roles, but nabbing the lead in Wicked had to be a game changer.

Definitely. I had worked with Joe Mantello (director of the original production of Wicked that premiered on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre in 2003), and he had been trying to get me to come in for a role for a couple of years. My agent set up the audition and I was booked that night to replace Alison.

How did you prepare to become Elphaba?

Before I even rehearsed for it, I stopped drinking alcohol and caffeine; drank only water. I did my warm-ups every day and made sure my voice was in top shape. I tried to make sure I approached the role from the right place. I didn’t want to ruin my voice because it’s a very hard show to sing. You also have to be in shape, because it can be demanding physically as well.

While very likeable and sympathetic, your Elphaba definitely has a sarcastic and dry side. Is that you or the green coming through?

I definitely have a sarcastic, snarky side to me.

I wouldn’t say I’m as explosive or as antsy as she is.

Did you feel any pressure taking on such an iconic role?

There’s never pressure from people who are close to you like your agent or your mother.

The pressure comes from what you put on yourself. This is a wonderful company and since day one, everyone has told me to not worry, that I’d find my pace. The fan base is very wide and passionate so there are a lot of expectations out there. You hope they will appreciate what you’ve done with role.

Overall, I’ve received mainly positive feedback so that makes me feel like I’m doing a good job each performance.

Wicked has been around for 10 years, and I’m not sure there is anything new you can do that hasn’t already been seen. But with that being said, with any role you want to put your stamp on it. I try to come at it with an honest

With tragic stories of bullying becoming more prominent in today’s society, how do you feel the underlying message of self-respect and strength are portrayed over the course of the production?

It’s interesting because I was bullied as a younger kid at school. It’s something that can be awful and dangerous. You feel isolated on stage and feel like everyone is looking at you like you’re the weird one. It’s almost funny having those people who really care about you off the stage acting so mean. It’s a strange dichotomy. The material in Wicked really lends itself to getting your emotions out. It’s fun to explore how you deal with those situations. Elphaba uses her wits and sarcasm to get over what can be unsettling or hurtful situations.

What’s great is to meet people after a show who are touched by the message. It means a lot to me that they can share their stories especially after I’ve shared myself with them.

As someone who has played damaged characters including Elphaba, what is it about those roles that attracts you?

Not that I have everything together, but when you have a good deal of structure in your own life, it’s fun to play someone on the other end of the spectrum. It’s definitely more fun to watch someone trying to get his or her life together on stage, then someone who’s got it all figured out. Maybe it’s a good match. I

7 think those roles are interesting and I enjoy going on the journey with them. I try to show other sides to those characters. It’s like when people call me the wicked witch, I like to tell them no, I’m the misunderstood witch.

For having little rehearsal time with your counterpart Gina Beck (Glinda), you guys display a lot of chemistry on stage.

I didn’t know Gina prior to getting here, but we have a very similar sense of humor so we get along well. She is very close with Alison Fraser (Madame Morrible) and I didn’t want to come in and intrude on that relationship both on and off stage. But she was very excited to meet me. I’m glad we get to take this journey together. This is her first United States tour. We’re both playing two roles that are based on friendship so there had to be some underlying truth to that. There is something about being on tour that makes the show very fresh. We get nervous for each opening. We’re all like a little family and get to share in everything on the road. I’m sure a lot of that plays into how we feed off each other on stage.

Oh no. I try to watch everyone else’s performances as little as possible. I don’t want to replicate something that’s not supposed to be up there. I approach it from a new perspective as much as possible. At the same time, the Elphaba world is small and those of us who have been fortunate enough to play the part tend to stick together. It’s kind of like a sorority. There are always awfully strong women who can offer advice to me if I need it.

We definitely look out for each other for sure.

and open heart every night. I don’t do the same thing every day. Sometimes people with say things differently and it causes a different response from me. I am one of the youngest Elphabas they’ve ever had so I like to hope that I’m doing it justice.

Once back in Tulsa, Shillingford began to assemble his dream team that would soon help make his aspiration of owning his own restaurant a reality.

With a focus on freshness and traditional island recipes, Sisserou’s brings the flavors of the Caribbean to daydreamers. By Taylor Sides

ith a new summer season just a few short weeks away, Tulsans are likely planning vacations to far-off destinations where the water is blue and the sand is white … or at least daydreaming about the island weather from within the confines of their cubicles. Some of us don’t have the time or money to drop everything and jet off to somewhere exotic, but it doesn’t mean we can’t make the best of what we have here at home.

Eben Shillingford understands that better than anyone.

Shillingford is the owner and manager of Sisserou’s, the newest restaurant in Tulsa’s Brady Arts District.

Sisserou’s isn’t your run-of-the-mill restaurant concept. With a focus on freshness and traditional island recipes, Shillingford and his staff bring the flavors of the Caribbean to all of us daydreamers.

As a dual citizen, Shillingford has roots in both the United States and Dominica, a beautiful island in the

Caribbean where his family hails from. A true Tulsan at heart, he attended Union High School and Tulsa Community College. While taking classes at TCC, Shillingford started working at Paddy’s Irish Pub as a dishwasher. It is there he discovered his love for the culinary arts; he even tried his hand in creating some menu items.

From there, he went on to work in the kitchen at Garfield’s and then as a server and bartender at Grady’s American Grill. Shortly thereafter, he decided to transfer to the University of Oklahoma. During his time at OU, Shillingford worked at the Metro Wine Bar & Bistro and Charleston’s. He was promoted to management at Charleston’s and transferred to Fort Worth.

“I always wanted to open an American restaurant in the Caribbean,” Shillingford shares. “I even had the opportunity to do so in 2007, but too many people had their hands in the property, so I decided to return to Tulsa.”

nce

Once back in Tulsa, Shillingford began to assemble his dream team that would soon help make his aspiration of owning his own restaurant a reality. And who better to have on his team than those closest to him—his family. Shillingford reached out to his father, mother, wife, Natalie and sister, Ilana. “Natalie, who runs FlyingChef.com, helped me form the business plan and create the menu. My father assisted in contracting. My sister came on as co-owner and accountant and designed the interior, and our mother picked the name,” says Shillingford.

A one-of-a-kind blend of authentic

Sisserou is the name of an endangered species of parrot indigenous to the island of Dominica. A truly beautiful creature with colorful plumage of dark purple, dark green, hints of red and brown, the Sisserou seemed an appropriate “mascot” for a Caribbean family’s restaurant. Splashes of the Sisserou’s colors can be found throughout the restaurant.

Craving a different dinner? “We have the only whole snapper in town,” Shillingford says. “It’s carved table side.” A true ocean excursion, Sisserou’s whole fresh red snapper for two is stuffed with crab, shrimp, herbs, breadcrumbs, lemon and spices and then baked until tender. This signature dish is carved and served table side to be enjoyed with a pineapple sauce. Because this entrée has a longer cook time, Shillingford invites you to order ahead to avoid a long wait.

European and American influences, this menu has it all.

of lime, orange, garlic, and oregano, and then slowroasted until tender. It is then shredded and placed inside a lightly toasted Cuban loaf drizzled with Sisserou’s signature habanero mayonnaise and topped with ham, Swiss cheese, sweet pickles, and country Dijon.

Other popular menu items include the coconut shrimp, mahi mahi, stewed oxtail, and, of course, the Caribbean classic: jerk chicken.

“We keep it vibrant and contemporary with both the décor and the drinks. In a way, the drinks match the décor,” Shillingford continues.

As a dual citizen, Shillingford has roots in both the United States and Dominica, a beautiful island in the Caribbean where his family hails from.

Take the molten lava eruption, for instance. This signature drink for two is not only colorful, but is everything one would want or expect in an island-inspired drink. With Bacardi pineapple, Malibu coconut rum, 99 Bananas, Captain Morgan, pineapple juice, orange juice, simple syrup, grenadine, and fresh-squeezed lime and orange juices splashed over dry ice, this drink truly erupts.

The drinks aren’t the only menu items making a splash at Sisserou’s.

Head chef Ben Alexander is making waves of his own in the kitchen. With only the freshest ingredients and seafood, imported from Key West three to four times a week, Alexander puts out plates so authentic and tasty, one would swear they were eating beachside in the Caribbean. “Ben, who has become a very close friend of mine, has found a way of converting home recipes into restaurant delicacies.” Shillingford raves.

This food is capital G-O-O-D, good! A one-of-a-kind blend of authentic Caribbean cuisine with a touch of European and American influences, this menu has it all. For lunch, Shillingford recommends their Cuban sandwich made with tender pork shoulder, marinated in a traditional Mojo blend, which is a combination

Sisserou’s opened at the corner of Archer and Main Street on April 1, 2014, and, in just two short months, has been met with rave reviews, earning a 95% rating on Urban Spoon and gaining its fair share of regulars who just can’t get enough. Whether you come for the atmosphere, housed under high-open ceilings and behind massive windows that let in plenty of sunlight or for the feature menu items dished out each week, Sisserou’s has plenty to tantalize your taste for the Caribbean.

These colossal creatures were designed by Billings Productions of McKinney, Texas. Each dinosaur is built on a steel frame, and their exterior is covered with intricate rubber skin, giving them their lifelike appearance. Outfitted with state-of-the-art electronics, they have the ability to produce realistic movements. They can bite, roar, and even spit water.

The hitmaker has almost single-handedly returned pop music to its R&B and funk roots with radio smashes like “Locked Out of Heaven,” “Moonshine” and “Treasure.”

Named Billboard magazine’s 2013 Artist of the Year, Mars is a genius with hooks who cut his teeth as a guest on tracks for CeeLo Green, B.o.B. and Travie McCoy. With 130 million singles sold worldwide, the 18-time Grammy Award nominee and winner has made music history more than once, including such milestones as scoring his first five Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers faster than any male solo artist since Elvis Presley.

During his shows on the Moonshine Jungle tour, Mars is usually all over the stage during his ‘70s-inspired show, demonstrating skills on guitar and drums as well as the showmanship that comes from a lifetime immersion in music.

From lovebird favorites like “Marry You” and “Our First Time” to the undeniable “Grenade” and “When I Was Your Man,” Mars’ unenhanced vocals serve as a reminder of why he’s among the best male vocalists that the music industry has to offer among his lip-synching contemporaries. Add the sophistication of his melodies and lyrics, which are well represented on “Just the Way You Are,” and you have music’s great pop hope.

Tulsa Performing Arts Center The king of observational humor, entertainment icon Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy career was parlayed from a knack to tell stories full of wry commentary in a soft-core satire manner.

He succeeds on a mainstream level thanks in some part for routines that eschew profanity for brilliance.

His career took off after his first appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1981. Eight years later, he teamed up with fellow comedian Larry David to create the most successful comedy series in the history of television: Seinfeld. The show ran on NBC for nine seasons, winning numerous Emmy, Golden Globe and People’s Choice awards.

Seinfeld has also starred in, written and produced movies (Comedian, Bee Movie), directed and produced a Broadway hit (Colin Quinn Long Story Short), and written two books (Seinlanguage and Halloween).

Tulsa Performing Arts Center Janet Rutland Sings the Sixties is the Sand Springs songstress’ 10th cabaret show for Summer Stage.

In putting this show together, she collaborated with Top 40 guru Steve Clem on the decade’s songs as well as historical events. “This music is a real heart punch,” says Rutland.

“You can remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you first heard these songs. It’s a trip.” Rutland will perform songs by Dusty Springfield, The Mamas and The Papas, Bob Dylan and more.

Tulsa Performing Arts Center Entertainment Weekly calls Wicked “the best musical of the decade.” Winner of 35 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, Wicked is Broadway’s biggest blockbuster. Long before Dorothy dropped in, two girls met in the land of Oz. One, born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good makes for a story you won’t want to miss. It is based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, a parallel novel of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and L. Frank Baum’s 1900 classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Capitalizing on a deep well of nostalgia for all things Oz, allows for some hilarious in-jokes as the two young women are thrown together as roommates at Shiz University. We may think we recognize them as the simpering Glinda the Good and cackling Wicked Witch of the West, but for most of the show they are simply Galinda and Elphaba, two girls navigating the tricky waters of friendship, gossip, boys, sorcery, animal abuse, and corrupt government—you know, typical adolescent stuff. Intricately detailed sets, whimsically off-kilter costumes, and fanciful wigs still provoke gasps from the crowd, and fantastic lighting effects ratchet up the drama for the witches, animals, and denizens of Oz.

Jesus Christ Superstar Arena Spectacular

BOK Center (Tulsa) Jesus Christ Superstar, the global phenomenon that has wowed audiences for over 40 years, is re-imagined for the 21st century as an arena rock spectacular. The biggest ever North American arena tour of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s groundbreaking rock musical features extraordinary cast of rock, pop and R&B superstars. Brandon Boyd, Grammy-nominated lead vocalist of rock band Incubus, is confirmed for the role of Judas Iscariot; *NSYNC vocalist, JC Chasez, will play Pontius Pilate; Destiny’s Child member Michelle Williams will take the female lead as Mary Magdalene; English singer-songwriter and lead singer in Public Image Ltd. and Sex Pistols, John Rotten Lydon, will play King Herod; and British actor and singer Ben Forster, who won England’s ITV Superstar competition in 2012 and played the lead role in the United Kingdom and Australian arena tours of Jesus Christ Superstar, will revive his role as Jesus. With over 50 cast and musicians on stage this is one arena show that can’t be missed.

The musical started as a rock opera concept recording before its first staging on Broadway in 1971. The musical is loosely based on the Gospels’ accounts of the last week of Jesus’ life, beginning with the preparation for the arrival of Jesus and his disciples in Jerusalem and ending with the crucifixion. It highlights political and interpersonal struggles between Judas Iscariot and Jesus, struggles that are not in the Bible narratives. The resurrection is not included. It therefore largely follows the form of a traditional passion play.

The work’s depiction offers a free interpretation of the psychology of Jesus and the other characters. A large part of the plot focuses on the character of Judas, who is depicted as a tragic figure dissatisfied with the direction in which Jesus steers his disciples. Contemporary attitudes and sensibilities as well as slang pervade the lyrics and ironic allusions to modern life are scattered throughout the depiction of political events.

This union sets The Dreamettes on the path to stardom, they also have to cope with love, pain, racism, jealousy, lies and confusion. Dreamgirls was a Broadway hit in the early 1980s and was adapted into a motion picture in 2006. The show’s signature number is Effie’s show-stopping torch song “And I Am Telling You.”

Ready for Rebound?

Tough times have been plentiful for the Tulsa Shock since leaving Motown. But with a proven winner in Fred Williams drawing up the plays this year, glory days may not be so far away. By Chris Greer

I J U NE 2 0 1 4

t’s been a rough four years for the Tulsa Shock. Since making the move from the Motor City in 2010—leaving behind three WNBA championships, former Detroit Piston bad boy center and Shock head coach Bill Laimbeer and key members from those dynamic Detroit teams—the Shock compiled a pedestrian 29-107 record entering the 2014 season and watched three coaches come and go including Nolan Richardson.

In April, the team suffered another turnover when 6-foot-8 Liz Cambage and her 16.3 points-per-game average opted to stay in Australia to practice with her national team.

And if misery truly loves company, then it was only fitting that the Shock hired Fred Williams. Only months after leading the Atlanta Dream to the 2013 WNBA finals—which they lost to the Minnesota Lynx—he was relieved of his head coaching duties. A graduate of Boise State, Williams has seen plenty of success over three decades in the game including two NCAA national championships while an assistant coach for the University of Southern California teams that featured Cheryl Miller and Cynthia Cooper.

But while it would be easy for both the Shock and Williams to take their balls and go home after tough career stretches, neither is willing to have any of the self-loathing and head hanging afforded them. Instead, rejuvenated with purpose and passion, the team and Williams appear to be slowly turning things around.

Preview: How do you make it to a league final only to be let go? Is it really that brutal out there?

Fred Williams: It’s kind of how it is. I’m thankful for the six years I spent in Atlanta, but they opted to go in a different direction.

I learned a lot from what happened. My being let go made it possible for me to get this job in Tulsa so I can’t complain. It’s really been a great transition.

I’m really fired up about what’s next.

Q: While you inherited some talent including Skylar Diggins, Riquna Williams and Angel Goodrich, you can’t ignore the hard times the team has faced since relocating to Tulsa.

A: They lost so many players when they left Detroit. You don’t just replace that overnight.

Just like with the college game when a great class leaves, you have to rebuild and it can take some time and patience.

Each season is going to be different. We’ve got great leadership here. The

foundation is in place now thanks to our veterans and new players. They weren’t a bad team last year.

Some games just slipped away from them. It’s a new era and I think fans are going to enjoy what we put on the floor.

Q: One way to fire up a crowd is with up-tempo basketball, which is a trademark of yours.

A: Absolutely. When I looked at the roster, I knew we could push the ball. We’ll get the ball up the floor quickly, use post-

set plays and fast break when possible. A key is to have bigs who can move, so we should do well.

But we can’t play scared.

You have to play without fear and distribute the basketball.

Q: Getting a dynamic player like Baylor’s Odyssey Sims, the No. 2 pick in the 2014 WNBA draft, doesn’t hurt either, right?

A: She’s definitely a pro guard right now. We’re really happy to have her here. Pairing her with

Diggins opens up a lot of things for us moving forward. I’m feeling pretty energetic and excited about her and our entire team this year. They are playing really hard and want the same things the fans and I do, which is to win.

Although some of the crazy promotions at Fair Meadows are a thing of the past—Dachshund Derby Dash, politicians riding mules and Survive to Drive— the simulcasting component has received a major boost with a multitude of enhancements including a drive-through teller. By Richard Linihan

I

t was about 20 years ago that the late Peggy Nantz stood in the grandstands of Fair Meadows at Expo Square and pointed at a place over by the turn that skirts the edge of what is now the Big Splash Water Park.

“That’s about the spot where I lost about five teeth,” she said, reminiscing about when the horse racing track was a stock car track.

Nantz was a driver in those days and had a crash on that turn. She went from driving stock cars to training race horses.

There is a lot of history in the Fair Meadows and its facility on Expo Square’s 240 acres, and that history continues June 5 with the 26th season of live horse racing.

In addition to the live racing, Fair Meadows simulcasts horse races from around the country and the globe six days a week (and sometimes seven) from January through December every year.

Since that day when Nantz thought about those long forgotten molars and bicuspids, Fair Meadows has brought a lot of great memories to Tulsa

County and its fans. Considered to be a front-runner in some of the most innovative promotions in the state, Fair Meadows fans have witnessed a mass wedding in which 10 couples that ordinarily wouldn’t have been able to afford a nice matrimonial ceremony were given wedding cakes, flowers and were hitched during the live races. They then watched in earnest as one race would determine which couple would be flown to Las Vegas for a real honeymoon.

Prior to the advent of simulcasting, the lottery and casino wagering in Oklahoma, it wasn’t uncommon to see 10,000 fans come out to Fair Meadows for a $5,000 voucher giveaway.

Among other top promotions seen at Fair Meadows was the Dachshund Derby Dash in which wiener dogs dashed about 50 yards in heats of eight to try to make the finals and win a year’s supply of dog food. On one occasion, one family had great hopes as their weenie dog sprinted to a five-length lead and looked like he was well on his way to the finals when, with only about 10 yards to go, he spotted

a rabbit near the tote board and dashed off the track. He was later caught by a red-faced owner who had chased him halfway around the racetrack as fans cackled with laughter.

The most interesting of promotions had to be the Survive to Drive in which fans were asked to bring blankets and pillows to the racetrack because six lucky fans’ names would be called and

they would come down and try to spend seven days in a Land Rover to win it. They were given 30-minute breaks from the car to wash up and go to the restroom every three hours. On the seventh day, there were two remaining and with an hour or so to go in the promotion to win the car, the young lady stepped out, giving the car to the gentleman she was competing against. It turns out she wanted second prize even more—a trip to Las Vegas to

All these things mixed among silly pet tricks, ostrich races and politicians riding mules dotted the Fair Meadows scenery were the backdrop to some of the greatest quarter horse racing the state has seen. Buoyed every year by the Speedhorse Silver and Gold Cup futurities and derbies, some of the top trainers, jockeys and horses in the country have raced down the straightaway at Fair Meadows.

G.R. Carter, 10-time National Champion American Quarter Horse Racing Association jockey, should be in to ride for the big money in the hundreds of thousands for the Speedhorse finals. Carter, a native from Pawhuska, has won more money than any jockey in the history of the quarter horse racing game, his horses bankrolling close to $50 million.

One of the greatest stories ever to come down the pike was when 70-something jockey Roy Brooks was still winning races when most riders had settled for a rocking chair on the front porch.

Brooks did that at Fair Meadows, and did it in big races throughout his 60s and into his 70s. He is officially the oldest rider in the country ever to win a race at a licensed racetrack.

Trainer Eddie D. Willis, who dominates in some of the top races in the country every year at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, including the $1 millionplus Heritage Place Futurity, is expected to have a string of horses at Fair Meadows again.

This race meet will have a touch of sadness as well as Fair Meadows will be without arguably its top thoroughbred trainer of all time, Mike Teel, who lost his battle with cancer at 63 in May. Teel had won multiple training titles at Fair

Meadows over the years with the thoroughbreds and his horses had earned more than $40 million over his career when he died.

Although business at the live racing has slowed over the years, with the strong initiative of Expo Square CEO Mark Andrus and COO Amanda Blair, the simulcasting has received a major boost this spring with a multitude of improvements.

With Blair holding the reins, customer smiles have blossomed like the roses around Kentucky Derby time. She has overseen the installation of new lights at Fair Meadows simulcast facility, brand new flat screen televisions across the board in the personal seating area for customers, an aesthetic boost with new wall-size murals and interior decorations that give the place an avant-garde look, and instigated the newest innovation of all that was a big hit Derby Day, a drive-through betting teller. Customers didn’t even have to get out of their car on Derby Day to make a wager.

More than $12,000 was bet at the outlet on the Kentucky Derby Saturday.

“This is the best invention since the wheel,” a gentleman told Brenda Hedges, Fair Meadows’ drive-through teller.

Another said, “What has our society come to; a drive-through teller?” another said, to which Hedges made him laugh heartily with her reply, “And yet here you are in our line.”

And that’s what Fair Meadows is all about, leaving its customers with a smile on their faces and a laugh in their hearts.

Fair Meadows’ live racing schedule is Thursday through Sundays with post times at 6 p.m. every day except Sunday, which is 4:05 p.m. There are a few exceptions: May 18 at 6 p.m.; July 2 at 6 p.m.; July 4 at 1 p.m.; and July 23 at 6 p.m. Admission and parking are free.

Behind staples like Cajun BBQ shrimp, crawfish pie and Gulf Coast

oysters, S&J Oyster

Bar & Seafood Café is

providing a little taste of New Orleans, right here in downtown Tulsa.

By Taylor Sides

T

he year is 1983. A now retired restaurateur, Howard Smith, opens the doors to S&J Oyster Bar and Seafood Café, a New Orleans restaurant … states away from Louisiana. In time, Smith opened not one, but four sets of doors that bared the name S&J: two right here in Tulsa; one in Bentonville, Ark.; and one in Kansas City, Mo. For just shy of 20 years, Smith owned and operated the S&J brand and was met with great success and an untarnished reputation.

After nearly two decades of serving genuine New Orleans cuisine and flavorful seafood preparations, Smith brought one chapter of his life to a close. In early 2000, all four S&J locations closed their doors, and the S&J name became a part of history … or so he thought.

Denson started working for Smith when he was still in high school, and has been in the restaurant biz for 40 years. He was a general manager at S&J when the restaurant closed, and having spent half of his career working there, knew the recipes like the back of his hand. As it turns out, Denson had been joking with Smith for years about opening S&J back up. Parkey made that a reality. “Bill’s the money. I’m the brains.”

Denson says. “And Howard … he’s been like a second dad to me.” So, with no hesitation, Denson rejoined the team.

With Smith on board as a consultant and confidant, Parkey and Denson broke ground for the new chapter of the famous oyster bar in 2012. According to Denson, it took two months to put the menu back together. They included all of the original recipes created by Smith in order to stay true to the S&J name. They also kept much of the original décor when designing the layout of the massive 5,000 square foot restaurant. Parkey calls the décor “art deco with a New Orleans twist.”

Open now for about a year and a half, the new S&J has been quite successful thus far and continues to build momentum with each passing month. “It’s a little taste of New Orleans, right here in downtown Tulsa,” Parkey exclaims. Both he and Denson sat down with Preview Magazine and shared some of S&J’s most popular menu items.

The pair recommends the number one selling Cajun BBQ shrimp, eight succulent shrimp sautéed in butter and Cajun spices served in a skillet over a bed of rice with a side and toasted French bread. Parkey tells us that you “can’t go wrong” with this one-of-a-kind dish. The homemade crawfish pie, a delicious dish of spicy crawfish tail meat with a mix of onions, bell peppers, celery and garlic, all wrapped inside a flaky pie crust is a classic New Orleans dish that can’t be missed. Of course, no one can leave S&J without trying their famous Gulf Coast oysters on the half shell and jumbo spiced shrimp served with real deal cocktail sauce made right at your table. From the Cajun buffalo wings to Mr. Carl’s red beans and rice, New Orleans flavor is in full force at S&J. While its name states “oyster bar,” Tulsans have quickly deemed S&J a drinking destination as well. Their Cajun bloody Mary and Pat O’Brien’s hurricane set them apart from other downtown bars. The aptly named hurricane is prepared both frozen and on the rocks with Bacardi Silver Rum, Bacardi Dark Rum, Pat O’Brien’s Hurricane Mix, OJ, and pineapple juice, served with a floater of Bacardi 151. The full-service bar is home to a large variety of wines, spirits, and beers, supporting local breweries with craft beers like Oklahoma’s very own Marshall Sundown Wheat and Mustang Washita Wheat.

With monthly specials and a daily happy hour from 2-6 p.m., S&J offers $2 domestics, specials on frozen drinks, and discounted oysters, shrimp, and wings: “for the non-seafood eating public,” Parkey jokes.

In the words of his colleague, Denson, “For good food and good fun, look no further than S&J.”

With Smith by his side, Parkey scoured Tulsa looking for a prime location for his restaurant. Somehow, the pair kept ending up downtown. There was a certain allure that kept bringing them back to an open location on First Street. “If we’re going to put something down here, it’s got to be S&J,” Parkey told Smith. At first, Smith was not fond of the idea, but agreed under the stipulation that Michael Denson return to manage and coach the kitchen staff.

A very clean concept, the black and white tile gives the restaurant an old school feel, and a giant 800-pound fiberglass fish adds a fun and fitting focal point for diners to chat about.

About three years ago, a man by the name of Bill Parkey, who, as a child, looked up to Smith and his culinary prowess, returned to Tulsa after some time away with a restaurant idea of his own. Long before S&J even existed, Parkey’s father employed Smith in his own restaurant, so it only made sense that Parkey present his concept to the successful businessman.

he OK Mozart International Festival will launch its 30th season the week of June 7-14, with a colossal kickoff celebration beginning inside the Bartlesville Community Center at 6 p.m. with a resounding performance by the 145th Army Guard Concert Band.

After that, the OKM celebration progresses outdoors, across the street to the Earl Sears Park for a grand outdoor gathering with live radio and television broadcasts, prize drawings, giveaways, clowns and face painting for the kids, lots of tasty food – and an outdoor contemporary theatrical production of Shakespeare in the Park directed by Joe Sears.

But that’s just the start. As the sun sets, the adult sector of the population will move just a couple blocks over to the corner of Second Street and Dewey for a free outdoor block party. There, under the stars, 38 they can relax in lawn chairs and enjoy OKM’s block party featuring the live music of Joe Sundell, Loves it! and Ramsay Midwood.

“In an age when prices can prohibit so many people from enjoying the arts, OK Mozart makes it a practice to provide a number of concerts for the whole community. This year we have increased our scope of free offerings,” says Dr. Thompson, OKM executive director. “OK Mozart does this, not as a marketing effort, but rather as a means to counter the cultural trend that bypasses live performances in favor of “ We look for ward to presenting one of the most exciting seasons e v e r i n OK M o z a r t ’s h i s t o r y , as well as hosting an ever-growing audience as a result of our efforts to expand the appeal of the concert series through a broader variety o f p r o g r a m m i n g ,“ says Thompson.

digital forms of entertainment. Once experienced, live performance is hard to forget. We consider our efforts a kind of artistic evangelism.”

OKM’s opening night performance on June 8, will add a brand new air of excitement with the introduction of the OK Mozart all-state youth orchestra. For the first time in Oklahoma, the finest young musicians in the state will play next to some of the world’s greatest professional musicians. The all-state orchestra and members of the Amici New York orchestra, under the skilled baton of artistic director Constantine Kitsopoulos, will present a joint performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 Titan.

That same night Jon Kimura Parker will join Amici New York in performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20, one Beethoven admired above all others.

Perhaps one of the most exciting elements of the celebration will be the June 9 night event—a formal Viennese waltz ball. Attendees are invited to take a black-tie dinner/dance excursion to Imperial Austria, circa 1844, when the waltz king Johann Strauss II made his debut in Vienna.

They’ll dance to romantic Viennese waltzes and polkas. The evening includes cocktails at the new Johnstone-Sare rooftop bar, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and dancing in the newly restored landmark building.

Mobile Whether you tackle a specific route or let the open road guide your adventure, travelers will find great destinations for RVs in Oklahoma. But before you hit the road, check out our tips.

By Oklahoma Tourism & Recreation Department Staff

H

itting the road in your very own RV has always delivered the ultimate freedom in travel.

You can take a detour on a whim, stay an extra day or drive to whatever vacation spot your heart desires.

Embark on an RV trip in Green Country and you’ll find yourself spending less time worrying about travel hassles and more time actually enjoying your favorite destinations.

Oklahoma is packed with hundreds of RV opportunities, from small campgrounds nestled within scenic woodlands to flourishing resorts packed with amenities and attractions.

If it’s a connection with nature you seek, you’ll find more than two dozen state parks ready to welcome RV travelers with sites featuring waterfront or woodsy views, easy access to hiking trails and natural beauty at every turn.

Several state parks are also connected by breathtakingly scenic drives, so you can enjoy the journey just as much as the destination.

Below you will find plenty of tips to help set up your RV as fast as possible, allowing you ample time to get out and about while exploring Oklahoma’s renowned outdoor spaces.

Choosing a Site

• Some campgrounds assign RV sites, but if you are able to select your own, there are a few general rules you should follow when making your selection. First, make sure the site is large enough to accommodate your vehicle and leave enough room for you to move around. Although most RVs are equipped with leveling boards or mechanical levelers, it is still important to find a space that is as level as possible to save time and frustration when parking.

• Determine if you need to back-in or pullthrough and take note of the location of electrical, sewer and water hookups on your RV before you park.

• Use your location to your advantage in different seasons. In summer, you may want a space in the shade whereas winter travelers

will want to seek out sunny spots that will help keep their vehicle as warm as possible.

• When parking near trees, always keep an eye out for low hanging branches and dead limbs. Low branches can scratch the top of the vehicle and high winds or storms can spell danger for your vehicle if dead limbs hang overhead.

• If you plan to use a television or radio in your RV, pay attention to nearby power lines that could cause interference. Also, look for light sources nearby, as a street lamp might keep you awake if you are easily troubled by light at night.

• Be careful while parking on grass. While you may maneuver on dry grass easily, rain or dew can create a wet parking spot that can get slick. While many RV travelers seek waterfront views, pay close attention to the water levels and the forecast. Your beautiful lakefront view could be spoiled by a swelling shoreline if you aren’t careful.

Getting Settled

• Once parked, apply the parking brake and level the vehicle with blocks or stabilizing jacks. Put entry steps out, either electronically or manually and cautiously remove travel locks or brace bars to ensure you will be able to use your slideouts.

• Plug the electrical power cord into the campsite outlet that matches your amp

requirements. Turn any appliances running on propane, such as a refrigerator, to draw from electricity instead. Use the white potable RV drinking water hose to connect water to your RV tank. Be sure to run the water under close watch at first and check for any leaks.

• To tackle your sewer connection, put on latex gloves and remove the cap from the sewer hose and carefully attach to the sewer drain outlet until the locking tabs are secured. The hose should slightly slope from the RV down to the sewer connection so everything drains smoothly. Once connected, you may open the gray water tank valve to allow sink and shower water to drain into the sewer line, as well.

Etiquette

Traveling with Kids

• If your RV travel includes children, be sure to set aside time during the day for outdoor play. Although many RVs feel spacious and children can be entertained by table games or electronics inside the vehicle, kids travel

best when they have time allotted to burn some energy outside.

• RV travel is a great opportunity to introduce kids to different places and playing a travel game with them during the ride can help them get involved in sightseeing. Try the alphabet game, where players must call out things they see outside the vehicle that start with each letter of the alphabet.

Traveling with Pets

• Before you hit the road, double check to see which RV campsites along the way are pet friendly. Read policies on each campsite before you arrive so you can be sure to adhere to the rules for a successful stay.

• Make sure your pet is familiar with the RV. This will be its home during your journey and you want to be sure your pet is comfortable in the space. You can help make your pet more comfortable by bringing along its bed, toys, treats and preferred food.

• Make sure your pet’s identification tag has your cell phone number on it. Obviously, you will not be able to be reached at home while you are on vacation and you want to be sure you can be reunited with your pet immediately should you get separated.

• Be sure to stop about every three hours along your route to give your pet a chance to relieve itself or get some exercise.

• Be mindful of the weather while traveling with your pet. In hot weather, your pet will need ventilation and a comfortable temperature whether you are in your RV or not. Keep fresh water available to your pet at all times in an easily accessible place.

Supplies It is always a good idea to keep your RV stocked with basic supplies. Items that should be on hand at all times include: o Nonperishable foods o Adapters for 30 amp and 50 amp outlets o Batteries o Wheel chocks o Shovel o Tire-pressure gauge o Map o Extension cord o Matches or a lighter o Road flares o Insect repellent o Bungee cords/rope

o Tool kit o First aid supplies o Flashlights o Folding chairs

• Refrain from walking through the campsite of someone else. Respect their space.

Remember, their site is their home while they are parked on it.

• Keep noise down. RVs do not have much of a sound barrier, so try to be as quiet as possible to respect other campers nearby.

• Always pick up after your pet and keep your pet on a leash unless inside your RV. • Refrain from smoking outside near your campsite unless there is plenty of space separating you from other sites. RVers like to leave windows open and secondhand smoke can easily drift into surrounding RVs. • When parking or preparing to leave, try to keep idling time to a minimum.

• Feel free to strike up conversations with your RV neighbors, but avoid talking to campers if their shades are closed or if they are busy hooking up their vehicles.

Just like at home, be sure to pick up after your pet wherever you travel.

o Bottle/can opener o Soap o Grilling supplies o Toilet paper o Linens o Pots and pans o Fire extinguisher o Sunscreen

• If you plan to build a fire, check first with park staff before gathering wood from the area surrounding your campground. Some parks allow campers to gather wood while others offer firewood for sale, instead. Do not bring wood from outside the park as it may carry harmful tree diseases or insects.

• Do your part to preserve Oklahoma’s outdoor spaces by leaving the ecosystem undisturbed. Pick up after yourself and for the safety of yourself and animals, keep your distance from wildlife and do not feed animals.

• If you plan on fishing, make sure to have a current Oklahoma fishing license if you are over 16 years of age. You can purchase your Oklahoma fishing license online, or at bait/ tackle shops, convenience stores and some grocery stores.

Compadres Mexican Grill captures a laid-back feel while giving casual dining and drinking their proper due. By Chris Greer

N

o hassle. No fuss. Just a good time.

Along with great Tex-Mex food and classic margaritas, that’s what’s in store for you at Compadres Mexican Grill.

Step inside the lively bar and eatery at any of the three Green Country locations and you’ll be transported to a beachfront cantina where there’s always room for another fish taco and the booze flows freely.

Created by brothers Joe and Jeremiah Lindsey nine years ago, Compadres provides a unique spin on the cantina genre with small twists of creativity on classic menu items.

The Lindseys, who came up with the idea between house flipping projects, started with a kitchen that focused on using regional, farm-fresh ingredients, creating everything from scratch and sourcing only the highestquality meats and seafood. “We wanted to do something different. There are Mexican restaurants everywhere. So how could we stand out?,” says Jeremiah, who recently bought his brother out. “It started with the menu and playing around with ideas.

We wanted great tasting food that wasn’t complicated and was moderately priced.”

Pitchers of margaritas and other tequilabased specialty cocktails make appearances on most of the tables or at the separate bar areas. The vibe is colorful and modern, but casual enough that you can sit at the bar and catch the game while indulging in a cold domestic or tequila flight. Naturally, Mexico’s favorite libation rules here, with an entire list of margaritas and other specialty cocktails.

Blended, over rocks or salted, you can get it the way you want.

When it comes to appetizers, there will always be a basket of fresh, hot, flaky-crisp chips and red and green salsa to start things off. From there, don’t miss fresh guacamole served on a bed of lettuce and topped with

are hit with a little bit of another house specialty so that they caramelize, adding a nice sweet and smoky flavor to each bite. The steak itself is tender and flavorful, served with the traditional accoutrements of rice and refried beans. Want to take your fajita experience to another plateau? The Monterey Jack version balances your choice of steak or chicken with bacon, mushrooms, squash, zucchini and onions before being swallowed up with blanket of Jack cheese..

cheese and tomatoes, battered and golden fried avocados or the queso. Served in white or yellow varieties, each cup is mixture of decadent cheeses with jalapenos, onions, cilantro, spices and seasonings.

Build your own nachos from a wild selection of proteins, vegetables and other toppings, or opt for a soulful bowl of tortilla soup swimming with chicken and crisp tortilla strips. We like to consider ourselves nacho connoisseurs, so we’re a stickler for how they’re prepared. Compadres does it right, properly dressing each layer of nachos so that every tortilla chip is loaded with spicy grilled steak, fajita chicken or beef with cheese, pico de gallo and more cheese. Be careful, these are not small portions. Every bite can seem to regenerate elsewhere on the plate.

Enchiladas, burritos and chimichangas round out the menu, plus some interesting entrees you may not have expected including the Juarez dinner that features lean, seasoned steak with a Jack cheese enchilada topped with spicy ranchero sauce, a tamale topped with chili con carne and ample sides. Don’t worry, there are no bad choices among the endless flavor combinations.

“We originally came up with some great authentic Mexican dishes on the menu and they didn’t get ordered,” says Lindsey. “If they did get ordered they’d get sent back. We’ve learned over the years that you need to know your customers. We don’t have a whole lot of people who want the authentic dishes. At the same time, we have a lot of meals that nobody else has. There are at least 10 meals on our menu you aren’t going to find in the Tulsa area.”

Compadres is a taco lover’s paradise, with a multitude of styles and fillings available.

While the standard beef and chicken offerings are tough to beat in terms of taste and simplicity, the Borracho tacos dinner is not to be missed. These three seasoned steak, chicken or chopped shrimp tacos—served with pico de gallo and sliced avocados— might just redefine your idea of what a taco platter should be.

If you like your plates to come from the sea, there are signature items that are tailored to fit the casual atmosphere while elevating the meal. Give the tilapia con arroz—a marinated fillet and seasoned grilled shrimp served over a bed of rice and topped with a white garlic wine and ceviche sauce—or spicy garlic shrimp rolls a chance.

J U NE 2 0 1 4

The menu is a simple collection of semiMexican favorites, supplemented by fresh seafood. But don’t expect to see crumbled cheese or traditional red sauce.

Salads range from the typical tortilla bowl filled with your choice of seasoned ground beef or grilled chicken to the interesting and mouth-watering Acapulco salad that features a surf and turf mix of chicken and shrimp seasoned and grilled with fresh zucchini, yellow squash and Jack cheese.

The pollo is succulent and tender, and the accompanying rice and beans are just the right amount of spicy. Don’t be afraid to upgrade to mango chicken and shrimp, grilled with mango salsa and glazed with sweet and spicy sauce.

No matter how many pitchers of margaritas your group has polished off, find room for desert. Traditional sopapillas, fried pastry dough rolled in cinnamon and sugar, offer the ultimate final satisfaction, or go a bit more decadent with a helping of molten brownie, rich and chocolaty with ice cream and whipped cream.
