L E T T E R F R O M T H E S TA F F

I can’t believe it’s already November.

I am not sure what is making the time fly by so fast, but it has definitely been an awesome year so far.

Oklahoma City continues to grow in so many ways and has quickly become rich in everything from adventures and entertainment to food and festivities. When I started So6ix almost eight years ago, the social and entertainment scene was nothing like it is today. Even the consensus attitude about living here was different.

It seemed back then that so many people talked about getting out of Oklahoma and moving to cities that have more to do. Now people from other cities are moving here, our young people are staying in state, and social and economic growth continue to go up. Maybe time is flying because there are just so many things to try, taste and see in OKC! Every month, we do our best to showcase everything we think is great about being an Okie. Now we want to hear from you! November kicks off our second annual Okie Honor Awards, in which we find out what you think is #1 in OKC. We have all the categories you care about, everything from where to eat and shop to which Okies are your favorites. We started the Okie Honor Awards last year in hopes of getting unbiased opinions on everything our great city has to offer from the people who know best: Okies. We also wanted to make it extremely easy for people to vote, and vote only on the

categories they really care about, instead of requiring a minimum number of categories. The response was tremendous!

This year, Okie Honor voting will be done by text message beginning on November 1 and running through November 15. This will be our nomination period, when you can nominate who, what and where should be in the Top 5 for each category. The nominations will be tallied after November 15 and our December issue will reveal the Top 5. Then, our final voting process will be from December 1 through 15, and we’ll go on to find out who is #1.

Now, open up a fresh text message and text your nominations in to us. We want to know who your favorites are so we can show them off in So6ix Magazine!

theo loves (the wild) life!

THANKS GIVING Leftovers

We all have so many things to be thankful for – like Thanksgiving leftovers. Yes, you read that right. No more trying to give as much away as you can to family members so you’re not stuck eating the same thing for days on end.

Thanksgiving is full of staple dishes that can be repurposed into their own new recipes, and these will have you hogging the leftovers for yourself. We promise you won’t get bored with the same flavors over and over because many of the dishes can be transformed into entirely different styles, like Mexican nachos or Asian-inspired egg rolls. Step out of your Thanksgiving leftover comfort zone and give these new concoctions a try. You’ll be thankful for your leftovers, we promise!

Creamy Turkey Casserole Credit: cutefetti.com Makes 6 servings

Ingredients • • • • • • • •

4 cups prepared stuffing, divided 1 lb coarsely chopped turkey (about 4 cups) 3/4 cup mayonnaise, divided 1/4 cup fresh whole cranberry sauce 2 cups mashed potatoes 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella Nonstick cooking spray Fresh cranberries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions 1.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon in half of the stuffing and spread evenly. Top with turkey.

2.

Combine cranberry sauce with 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, then spread evenly over turkey.

3.

Combine remaining mayonnaise with mashed potatoes and cheese in a large bowl. Spread evenly over the other ingredients and top with remaining stuffing.

4.

Bake 40 minutes or until hot and bubbling in center. Let stand 10 minutes, then garnish with fresh cranberries (optional) and serve.

Thanksgiving Leftover Savory Bread Pudding Credit: theflavorbender.com Makes 4 large servings

Ingredients

• • •

2 1/2 cups stuffing 4 cups of stale 1-inch bread cubes 1 1/2 cups half-and-half

• • •

Cranberry sauce Chopped parsley Leftover shredded turkey, about 2

• • •

1-2 pears, cut into small cubes 1-2 sprigs rosemary 5 eggs

• •

packed cups, at room temperature 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Maple syrup (optional)

•

1/4 tsp salt

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9” x 5” baking pan.

2.

Place half-and-half in a saucepan with the rosemary. Bring it to a boil and turn off the heat. Add the shredded turkey and let the herbs steep in the milk for about 20-30 minutes, to infuse the flavor and to let the milk cool down to room temperature. Remove the rosemary once done.

3.

In a bowl, whisk eggs and the cooled rosemary-infused milk and turkey mixture. Add salt.

4.

In a large bowl, mix the stuffing, bread cubes, pears and parsley to combine. Add the custard (the milk, egg and turkey mixture) and mix well to coat.

5.

Pour half of this into the buttered dish. Pour some leftover cranberry sauce on top, and place the other half of the bread pudding mix over it. Push down and leave for a few minutes to help the bread pieces soak up the custard.

6.

Spread some more cranberry sauce on top and sprinkle generously with cheese and sea salt.

7.

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and the custard has set.

8.

Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.

Local Okie Food Favorites

Food is one of the great things that bond the different people of our state. It’s a conversation piece, a tradition that brings families together. Many of the restaurants we go to hold special memories for us.

Fast forward to now: Rococo has one of the most famous foods in our state, the infamous Rococo Jumbo Lump Crab Cake. It can compete with any crab cake across the country, and it can win. One of the many things we love about Rococo is that almost everything on the menu is house made, from the coleslaw to the ketchup. What isn’t house made is shipped overnight directly from the East Coast, so you know you’re getting the freshest real deal. It’s a memorable spot that keeps people coming back again and again.

PUPPY OF THE MONTH Tibetan Mastiff

This life-sized teddy bear is a large breed that typically presents a mellow and calm demeanor. These loving, gentle, patient and understanding sweeties are devoted to their families and are generally healthy. Contrary to popular belief, they don’t shed all year round – only once a year. Because of their long, thick coat, they prefer to be in a cooler climate.

EATS THE HUTCH ON AVONDALE

WHAT WE TASTED

The long-standing landmark formerly known as The Coach House has received a gorgeous overhaul and is now The Hutch on Avondale. The Hutch is headed by two familiar faces from The Coach House, Chef David Henry and Kyle Fleischfresser. Both the menu and the inside of the restaurant have undergone a complete remodel, modernizing across the board. One of our favorite new features is a Chef’s Bar. This is a premier spot where you can reserve a barstool in front of the open-window kitchen and enjoy a tasting menu prepared by the head chef. The entire restaurant is an open-kitchen concept: you can see your food being prepared even from the main dining room seats. The menu itself is comprised of Okie favorites with a modern spin. Every single item down to the condiments is completely house-made. One of our favorite things about The Hutch is that they source everything local when possible. Not only is the food top-notch, but so are the cocktails. They have researched all over the world to give you a taste of some of the best cocktails, wine and spirits out there, presenting choices that will pair well with any occasion. Mark our words, this spot is definitely going to be the new Nichols Hills hangout. It has a more relaxed feel; you don’t have to wear your suit and tie (unless that’s your thing).

We also love that you can really make the experience what you want it to be: a celebration of a special occasion, with multiple courses served slowly, or a quick stop in for a bar snack and drink after work. As for the menu, every single item we tasted was stunning. We’re pretty sure we said, more than once, “Oh my gosh, this is my favorite version of this I’ve ever had.” You can taste the creativity and love put into each item, and we love the fresh spin on bar staples like wings. We can promise that whatever you order, it won’t taste exactly like anything you’ve ever had, and we can also promise The Hutch’s take on it will quickly become your favorite. We already can’t wait to visit again and watch this place take Nichols Hills by storm.

1634 N. BLACKWELDER AVE. #102, OKC, OK 73106 405.606.2539 GORORAMEN.COM

Quirk and Beans, with its great coffee and relaxed atmosphere,

Goro Ramen is one of the newest spots to find a home in the booming Plaza District. Izakaya is pronounced “EE-ZAH-KAHYAH,” and it means a Japanese tavern or pub that serves beer, sake, cocktails and food. Homemade ramen is still taking the food world by storm, and we are not mad about that at all.

No, this is not your typical dorm-room microwave ramen: we’re talking broths that take days to cook and simmer, with freshmade noodles, soft-boiled eggs and complex flavors. This Japanese comfort food is full of warmth and flavor. At Goro they use a chicken-based broth that is prepared for over 12 hours, resulting in a rich, silky and creamy broth that is similar to the popular pork-based tonkotsu. They not only have a great and creative food menu, but a wonderful cocktail and sake menu as well. It’s the perfect spot for any occasion, and we have a feeling you’ll become a regular.

is one of the newest coffee bars in town. This specialty coffee shop is creating known favorites and also putting their own spin on the caffeinated drink. They love to do everything local here: Quirk and Beans serves locally baked pastries and their coffee is roasted by the beloved Hoboken of Guthrie. Quirk and Beans is also a member of Keep it Local. Show your card and receive 10% off your purchase. Delicious local coffee at a discount – that’s a win-win! Their spacious building is perfect for a spot to study, meet a friend or just grab a latte on your way into work, and from time to time they host local art shows or live music. This fall, we recommend their White Pumpkin (when available): white chocolate sauce, pumpkin spice, espresso and steamed milk, topped with cinnamon. So yum!

PATTY WAGON

YUMMY MUMMY

3600 N. MAY AVE., OKC, OK 73112 405.917.1711 FACEBOOK.COM/PATTYWAGONOKC

13415 N. PENNSYLVANIA AVE., OKC, OK 73120 405.752.6055 YUMMYMUMMYOK.COM

This mobile eatery has turned brick-and-mortar restaurant, and it’s loved now more than ever. Patty Wagon’s food truck was followed by many for years, and the time was finally right for a stand-alone store where you can have any of their delicious eats at more consistent times. We feel like their French fries need an award all of their own. They are the real deal: fresh potatoes hand-cut and fried to perfection. All of the burgers are made with locally raised, grass-fed hormone- and antibiotic-free beef.

You can choose between the simple single burger, the double, or a gourmet burger piled high with condiments and tasty ingredients. Patty Wagon whips up all of their own sauces, and you’ll definitely want to try their spicy mayo or Dr Pepper BBQ sauce. One of their crazy combinations is the La Straw-Racha: a burger with shredded lettuce, a juicy patty, crispy bacon, tortilla strips, straw-racha sauce and peanut butter.

This new eatery is serving up fresh and fast Mediterranean food at lunch and dinner daily, with plenty of seasonal specials.

They use only the best ingredients and they prepare everything to order, so you’re guaranteed to have your food come straight from the kitchen. The menu caters to every appetite, whether you’re in the mood for something savory or something light.

They’re mixing in a ton of regional Mediterranean flavors that are beyond yummy. We recommend you start out with the Green Leaves Mummy (stuffed grape leaves) or the secretrecipe Spicy Potatoes. They’re known for their wraps, so of course you have to try one of those, but we also recommend the Egyptian Quesadilla or Lentil Soup. We’re all for this fresh international fast food.
