L E T T E R F R O M T H E S TA F F We are very excited about this month’s issue and all that it has to offer. We have done a lot of research this month to put together fun and factual articles that will inform you about the job market and what may be a good (or better) fit for you. Find out which job is right for you based on your personality type by taking our quick quiz on page 10. You may be surprised by the results.

As you see on the cover, we got the opportunity this month to feature Morgan Chesky from News Channel 5. We were very excited to work with him for our Career Issue, as he is a focused and successful young professional who takes his career with KOCO very seriously. He was very fun to work with and he gave a great interview. Check out his interview and more photos starting on page 24.

February is the month of love, and we have some great suggestions for you lovebirds out there. In this issue you will find tons of great gift ideas recipes and tips for making this year a special one. There are several great things going on in the city this month that I recommend you check out. The Oklahoma City Ballet will be bringing “Romeo and Juliet” to the Civic Center February 13–15, and it will be a perfect place

to take a Valentine. Another great place to spend your Valentine’s Day is at the Myriad Gardens, during their Love & Orchids event. Enjoy champagne, chocolate and live jazz for the opening night of the “Jewel Orchids” exhibit. If dinner plans are still in the air and you need a good place, check out our review of Broadway 10 on page 34. Our staff was extremely impressed with everything this new spot has to offer, from their mouthwatering steaks and delicious sushi, to an atmosphere rich in history and design.

Thank you for picking up the February Issue of So6ix Magazine! We hope you enjoy everything we have worked so hard on to bring you. Get out, taste, sip, play, and enjoy everything our great city has to offer.

You will end up with 4 letters. Find the corresponding box for your four letters for possible careers that work well with your personality!

Introverts: Direct their energy internally toward ideas, information and beliefs. These people often like working alone or in small groups, and it’s best if they focus on one task at a time.

They easily see patterns, they value innovations and they seek creative solutions to problems.

T

Thinkers: Prefer to think and decide based on an analytic approach through detached logic. They tend to make decisions by objectively weighing pros and cons, and they value honesty, consistency and fairness.

J 10

You grew up in Texas, what’s it like living in Oklahoma now? And what’s your favorite part about it?

Oklahoma’s the best top hat Texas could ask for. Jokes aside, lucky to have landed here.

There’s never been a more exciting time to live in Oklahoma City than right now. To see the growth and meet the new generation of Oklahomans reinvesting in their state is inspiring.

Folks are onto something here...

Most memorable moment in your career?

May 20th, 2013. My photographer and I were in Shawnee when the tornado touched down outside Newcastle. I remember turning on the radio and hearing our meteorologist Damon Lane give the tragic play-by-play. By the time we arrived in Moore, we knew Briarwood and Plaza Towers Elementary Schools were in bad shape. We didn’t know the full extent until we turned down a street to see dozens of muddy students and teachers, some even bleeding.

For the next four hours we went live just a few blocks from a flattened Briarwood. Those teachers - some of the bravest folks I’ve ever met. They not only kept those kids safe, but calm as an EF-5 bore down. Spoke to a boy whose teacher covered his body with hers as 26

the roof caved in. Interviewed a father who ditched his car in traffic and ran six miles to make sure his son was alive. Our purpose that day became reuniting families. We read off a list of student’s names on air until the very last parent showed up, one of the few bright spots on such a dark day.

Piece of fashion advice to male readers?

Bribe a good tailor into becoming your best friend.

A suit's only as sharp as the person fitting it.

What’s your favorite piece of clothing that everyone needs in his or her closet?

Something unique, no one else can call their own. For me, it’s a pair of custom sterling cufflinks my grandfather gave my dad back when he was my age. Wearing them now reminds me to hustle as hard as the Chesky men who made them look good long before I came along.

Where are your go-to places to hang out in the city?

Anywhere within walking distance of my place in Mesta Park. That means Saturday morning breakfasts at Big Truck Tacos, Coffee at Cuppies and Joe, and the occasional hard earned refreshment at Grandad’s.

Any hobbies besides delivering the news?

When time allows give me a backpack and get me off the grid. No, I haven’t wrestled a bear (yet), but as an Eagle Scout, rest assured I’ll be ready when the time arises.

Where did the passion for anchoring and reporting come from?

It’s one thing to follow history, it’s another to see it, hear it, feel it as it happens.

Also, I was born with this voice, what else was I supposed to do with it?

What are your future plans or goals?

Reporting is a lot like golf, minus the green jackets. There’s always more to learn or something that could use work. That said, the goal is to keep moving forward, the plan is to be ready for wherever that takes me.

What’s your favorite season (weather) and why?

Late summer, two reasons: Grandmother's peach cobbler & Mom's blackberry pie. For those of you thinking, "Oh, my mom’s is pretty good too..." let me break this gently: it's not.

Tell us a fun fact about yourself!

Got 2nd place in a turkey calling contest. I was three. And yes, I still have the trophy.

If you could go back in history and meet or have dinner with anyone, who would it be?

Hands down my dad, Vic Chesky. He passed away from a heart attack a few weeks before my sophomore year in high school. He never met a stranger and was keeper of a killer dry wit.

Would give anything to catch-up over a couple ribeyes (his rare, mine medium rare) and talk on everything under the sun. Also be nice to show Dad I grew out of the Abercrombie/puka shell necklace phase.

If you could choose one mandatory thing for anyone to read (book, magazine, article etc.) What would it be?

The Essential Calvin and Hobbes Collection. A good reminder to not always take ourselves so seriously. We should all laugh more.

What’s playing on your iTunes? iTunes? Spotify stole my soul a few months back. When it comes to music, appreciate the classics: Zeppelin, Dylan, Sugar Ray. Been known to rock some James Brown during commercial breaks to loosen everyone up (much to the chagrin of friend & co-anchor Erielle Reshef).

Anything else you want readers to know about you?

Nope, but feel free to hit me up on Xanga. so6ix.com | FEBRUARY 2015

EATS Located in the historic Buick building in Automobile Alley, Broadway 10 is a reflection of everything that Oklahoma is becoming. The warehouse sat vacant for nearly a quarter century, until Jeff Dixon and Aaron Soward, two locals, saw a moment for redefinition. And they aren’t stopping with just one venture. Their next feat, Sidecar Wine Bar, will be Automobile Alley’s neighborhood pub, complete with crafted and draft beer. Dixon and Soward are putting a great new spin on the restaurant community. Broadway 10 is big city with a unique “Okie” touch. Having lived in Chelsea, Manhattan for a summer myself, it reminded me so much of walking into an upscale eatery, where the ambiance is soothing and the smells are heavenly. This was better, though.

Broadway 10 had that “home” feel that I longed for that summer: extremely elegant, but not standoffish; very inviting. When I try new restaurants, I’m always hopeful but skeptical. So I’m not just saying this: Broadway 10 blew my expectations out of the water. Each dish was plated to allure, the flavors were delectable, and the service was efficient and knowledgeable. Unlike other chophouses, Broadway 10 offers each dish with a side starch or a vegetable. It’s not just an à la carte menu, where many of the primal cuts, fins, feathers and shells are cooked to perfection over an open flame on a hardwood grill. They truly put the perfect twist on the typical chophouse.

How many chophouses can you think of where you can sit down and order sushi rolls? I’m not talking a prerolled, boring roll, either; I’m talking about hand-rolled sushi filled with only the freshest and most flavorful ingredients. That’s what I love about this new eatery. It’s not just one typical choice, but many flavorful choices that work cohesively together in perfect unison. There is truly something here for every palate. Broadway 10 is everything you could hope for in a new restaurant establishment here in Oklahoma City, and I couldn’t be more proud of where our city is headed!

What We Tasted: Charcuterie Board – This large appetizer consists of three cheeses, three meats, three garnishes and homemade raspberry puree with garlic toast points.

The Buick: Sushi Roll – Crab salad, cream cheese, jalapeno and asparagus, topped with sweet garlic shrimp.

6 oz Filet Mignon: Cooked Medium – Hardwood grilled over an open flame, paired with a creamy horseradish sauce.

Yukon Gold Au Gratin – A combination of Yukon Gold potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet onions and an explosion of cheese, in the best way possible.

(We’re not kidding when we say an explosion of cheese.)

Wild Isle Organic Salmon – Hardwood grilled over an open flame with a creamy Southwest remoulade.

Smoked Gouda Mash – Creamy, smoky, delicious potatoes. These potatoes will change your life.

Cream Corn Chili Verde – Creamy yet crunchy, with a little flair of Southwest spice.

PISCES

(FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20)

Secrets and other issues from the past may plague you this month and you need to retrospectively look over events, words and issues that may have even been long gone. Up until the 12th the retrogression of Mercury demands a review of what’s gone before and until this happens you can’t move forward.

Fortunately the Sun moves to your Sun sign on the 19th bringing with it a lift in physical and intellectual energies. You also have Venus and Mars occupying your Sun sign and this is a good counteraction to these difficult transits you may encounter. The Sun still hovering in your 10th house of profession it’s likely additional responsibilities may be on your shoulders for a while longer.

ARIES

Neptune and Mars in your 11th house indicate a desire for love but some confusion surrounding the connection. Don’t rush. On the 20th, you’ll need rest so pace yourself as this has to do with Mars moving into your 12th house. You can get lots done but mostly behind-the-scenes.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

Don’t allow Saturn to damage your personal relationships as its presence in your 7th house will continue for some time. Look more to the passionate combination of Venus and Mars in the upper part of your horoscope indicating idealism, important social and business engagements and the desire to connect with soulmates. Legal or bureaucratic issues can be resolved on the forward movement of mercury after the 12th. Travels which may have also been on the pipe works finally gain clarity.

(MARCH 21 - APRIL 19)

Miscommunications in your social group improve after Mercury goes direct on 12 February. With the Sun also in this area much of your attention is on friendships and improving the quality of those relationships.

Your ruling planet ramps up your physical and mental energy on the 20th when it moves to your Sun sign.

Be sure to get plenty of exercise to let off steam. With Venus also entering your Sun sign on the 21st this starts a romantic cycle for you.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

Working through money issues will be tedious but after the 16th you can look forward to a breath of fresh air thereby allowing yourself to focus on other more social and personal matters. The Sun moves to Pisces on the 19th and this indicates travels and connections with people at a distance. Mars moving to your career zone on the 20th also brings with it dynamic energy but be careful that you don’t become too aggressive in your desire to achieve your goals.
