    Syrup.

    Brunch with a purpose… Y’all, I’ve been eating at Syrup for a couple of years now, and wanted to share it with you because it is just so yummy.  Then on my last visit I learned it is so much more than just their super delicious food!   Their motto is ‘Eat Well x Do Good”.   Their vision is that you have a delicious breakfast and have local and global impact.   They do this by putting a percantage of their sales to local groups such as the Center for Children and Families in Norman, the Dragonfly Home in OKC, and in Cape Town, South Africa helping with sustainability.   Not only is their mission…

    McClintock Saloon & Chop House

    Nestled on a side street in the Stockyard District of OKC is the most gorgeous saloon I’ve ever seen. McClintock Saloon & Chop House Walking in I was floored by all the beautiful woodwork and the chandeliers.  It was so glitzy, warm and inviting.  They have a lovely dining room area full of comfy booth seating on one side of the restaurant and over in the main room there is a giant 50 foot Red Oak bar with seating at the bar and also seating at their tables.  The attire that the waiters are wearing is so fun and so classic for the environment; I just love it!  The environment alone…
