Exploring Oklahoma (Oklahoma City and Tulsa) with my parents and relatives the first half of April, I’ve been enjoying watching the continued growth of the small but ever-increasing food and drink scenes in the OK state under big spring skies and swept with gusty, Oklahoma winds.

Here are new features in my regular outlets: Liquor.comTable8, Liquor.com Drinkwire articles on bars & drink around the world, Food Republic and Where Magazine.

This issue:
