FOLLOW @NATHANPOPPE ON TWITTER the $7 million budgeted film will have likely crossed the $50 million mark in theaters. As far as the box office goes, it’s a bona fide hit. A big reason the film crews came here in the first place was because of Oklahoma’s film rebate. When I spoke with “I Can Only Imagine” co-director Andrew Erwin on set in 2017, he called Oklahoma’s tax rebate “a difference maker.” “We were looking at three or four states,” Erwin said. “The right incentive makes it a very easy decision. The locations and the crew base were also a big part of the decision. You’re firing on all cylinders on all three things.” So, I hope the lawmakers who showed up late can grasp the importance of the opportunities the rebate can create for Oklahoma. Not only is our creative community put to work but also restaurants,
retail and local venues get utilized. Productions cast a large net for talent and the rebate allows us to say we’re open for business. With all the talks of young Okies leaving the state, filmmaking is one arena with a lot of potential. Imagine that.

BEN BROCK
‘WHO’ HE IS
After more than a decade, OKC songwriter Ben Brock shares debut album BY NATHAN POPPE | LOOKatOKC Editor
B
en Brock stared at what few possessions he had left. In a near-emptied St. Louis apartment, the Oklahomaborn songwriter started to realize just how much stuff his ex-girlfriend had collected over the course of their threeyear relationship. He shed a tear or two. “F---, what am I gonna do now?” he said to himself. Seated by a lawn chair, his bed and not much else, Brock pulled 10 folded pieces of notebook paper out of his pocket. A couple of nights prior, he found a lyric hook: “My hometown is where I wanna be.” He had returned to Oklahoma to cool down after the split, and Brock worked on a song with his dad and stepmom. Brock said he loved the experience. It’s something nobody in the family expected. “My dad has always been a pastor. He’s written songs and played music my whole life,” he said. “To be honest, I didn’t even start playing guitar until I was 19 years old. My dad never pushed me to do it.” Back in his desolate apartment, he was surrounded by the notebook paper his stepmom collected lyrics on. He finished the song, then and there. “Something came over me, man,” Brock said. “I got the chills, and I started crying. “This is the coolest thing I’ve ever done, and it’s actually good. ... It felt like I’d conquered the world. That’s what it feels like to write a song.” And that’s how the track “WTown,” a nickname for Brock’s adopted hometown of Weatherford, was born. It’s one of seven songs spanning Brock’s decade-plus pursuit of music that’s landing on his debut record, “Who I Am.” The songwriter, now 36, took roughly a year crafting the album at SoundZrite Studio. “Who I Am,” as a title, summarizes the arc of the album, but you can’t understand its heart until you listen to Brock’s raw, patient voice deliver SEE BROCK, 7

BROCK CONTINUED FROM 6 a song. When Oklahoma’s music landscape is so crowded with talent, it’s no wonder Brock saw this as a chance to dig inside and tell the story he knows best — his own. It was just a matter of time.
WITH A LITTLE HELP So, what took Brock so long to release a proper album? “It was a huge fear of mine for a lot of years,” he said in a recent interview. “Nobody likes to hear their own voice recorded. ... I used to go by Ben Brock Live because I’m a live artist and that’s where my strength is.” Brock said his vocals and the way he performs — with shifting time signatures and his own rhythm — made the idea of entering studio spaces a bit daunting. He’s not a click track guy,

and a studio doesn’t feel like home. Instead, a stage does. “That’s definitely where I feel the most comfortable, and where I can be myself,” Brock said. “But I got over it, and doing this record is by far the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life. “I don’t wanna stop. This actually feels like more of a beginning than it does an ending because ... I’m not getting any younger. Now that I’ve done it, it’s brought more songs out and now, once this releases, I’m ready to go again.” Brock found confidence at his best friend and co-producer K.C. Cobb’s home studio in Midwest City and recruited help from several Oklahoma musicians, many he considers his favorite acts to follow. Kyle Reid (pedal steel), Stephen Tillman (bass), Jake Simpson (fiddle), Andy Adams (harmonica), Nathan Lanier (dobro), Raina Cobb and Shelly Phelps (vocals), James Purdy (drums) and Scott Hunt (fiddle/mandolin), Chris Moore (keys), Philip Zoellner
(Hammond B3 organ) and Mike Satawake (guitar) are just some of the contributors to “Who I Am.” That list doesn’t include musicians like Blake Lankford, who co-wrote the album standout “Cost of a Dream” and lifted Brock out of a fit of writer’s block. Or the clubs and bars where Brock has hosted countless open mic nights. For three years, Brock’s been holding down a weekly Wednesday night residency at JJ’s Alley in Bricktown. Every week you can catch Brock with a new guest. “You get inspiration when you swap songs with your buddies, too, because they’ll bring up a new song and then you’re like, ‘Well s---, I’ve gotta write a new song now,’ “ he said. “It’s a family thing. “Even when I moved back here 10 years ago, it was like everybody was against each other. But I’ve always had the idea that if we work together we’ll get further, and that’s kind of what happened and that’s why there’s the John Morelands of the world and the Carter Sampsons and other people who
are doing great. ... I just love the family that we have here.”
BIG FINISH Speaking of family, that’s exactly who filled the Blue Door when Brock performed his first album release concert in February. One person in particular: Ben’s dad. He first took him to the listening room two decades ago. For years, Brock’s taken notes from his favorite songwriters like Jimmy Webb, Malcolm Holcombe and the late Jimmy LaFave. It’s been his dream to headline at the Blue Door, and he finally delivered with a sold-out CD release show. He’s turning the evening into a live album that’ll get released later this year. “The best songwriters in the world go there,” Brock said. “It’s gonna be a big deal. ... Seeing my dad’s gonna be the big thing for me. Trying my hardest not to cry onstage when he walks in.” There was no shortage of tears that night but that’s just who Ben is.

Rapper Staples makes rare headlining stop in OKC PAGE 8
APRIL 5–18, 2018
BY NATHAN POPPE | LOOKatOKC Editor Vince Staples approaches hip-hop like a gymnast. Bouncing from one side of the massive Jones Assembly stage to the other, the California-born rapper packed a marathon of entertainment into his 45-minute solo set. The evening of March 8 was half dance party and half punk rock concert. Staples is no stranger to captivating an audience. He’s fresh off a co-headlining tour with his former Odd Future bandmates — Tyler, the Creator and Taco. They were a small
fraction of the hip-hop collective that earned an internet following thanks to rowdy, unpredictable concerts. Consult YouTube for that wild evidence. Today, Staples is handling solo duties like a pro. He’s practically playing with fire if you’re into his particular brand of club-ready tracks and fierce lyrics. It also doesn’t hurt when you helped carry the “Black Panther” soundtrack to the top of the Billboard charts. And there’s more hype where that came from. SEE CONCERT, 9

CONCERT REVIEW
CONCERT CONTINUED FROM 8 A couple of days before his recent Oklahoma City concert, Staples somewhat jokingly released a GoFundMe campaign aimed at critical concertgoers. He asked for $2 million to retire on. It ended up being a tongue-in-cheek move to build enthusiasm for a surprise single and a reaction to some no frills live performances. Yet another savvy move that garnered more attention than a billboard with Chief Willoughby’s name on it. I didn’t hear any fans complaining over the bombastic bass blasts. I caught an athletic display of rhyme, rhythm and danceable beats. Staples’ 2017 record “Big Fish Theory” is full of poetry that constantly licks at a TNT fuse. There’s a pulsating electronic dance element in his work that I didn’t fully appreciate until it was slapping me in the face. While taking photos, the speakers literally shook my rib cage. The crowd ate it up. This show was sort of an anomaly. From booking to showtime, the headlining stop came together in less than a month. It was a rare headlining treat as Staples is sticking to mostly festival gigs throughout the summer. Roughly 1,200 patrons made the weekday warrior move to catch sets from Oklahoma’s own Jabee Williams and the Compton-born Staples. The rappers now hold the designation of performing at the first hip-hop concert at The Jones Assembly. Or maybe the second if you count Matisyahu's set in November 2017. Last month, I said I couldn’t think of an artist who pulled off a solo show better than St. Vincent. Staples is now in the running. He didn’t have the elaborate choreography, but he did have a stunning video display and energy to spare. Dressed in all black — including a Police riot vest — he delivered controlled chaos. The youthful front row couldn’t take their eyes — or smartphones — off of Staples. Each glowing screen seemed magnetized to the rapper’s movements. Staples isn’t one for stage banter. He only stopped the show a few times to check on the crowd before dishing out more bangers from his two-LP catalog. If you had wanted to get lost in music for a night then Staples was on the same page.

BY STEVE LACKMEYER For LOOKatOKC
Six years have passed since Gary Brooks purchased half of the former Stewart Metal Fabricators complex in east Bricktown and announced plans to build a mix housing, retail and hotels. At the very start, he warned the development wouldn’t be a quick turnaround. The stretch of Sheridan Avenue between Russell Perry Avenue and Lincoln Boulevard was littered with utilities, and the dirt was contaminated 20 feet below ground. Only with assistance of the city, including federal housing and brownfield funds was the project even possible. SEE STEELYARD, 11

STEELYARD CONTINUED FROM 10 The wait is almost over. Brooks reports 60 residents have already moved into the west apartment building and talks are underway with retailers. The AC by Marriott is already open, and the second hotel built at the Steelyard, Hyatt Place, opened last month. “Maybe because of the challenges, it’s the one I’m most proud of,” Brooks said. “I went after NewcrestImage because I knew that they would do spectacular hotels. And looking from the corner of Russell Perry, they look better than I even imagined three years ago.”
‘A SMALL COMMUNITY’ Brian Werkman is overseeing the opening of the Hyatt Place, a job he knows well having also overseen the opening of NewcrestImage’s first hotel in Bricktown, the Holiday Inn Express. “It’s incredible that this area even looks the way it does today,” Werkman said. “The addition of The Criterion (concert venue built across the street along with a Springhill Suites), the Steelyard, the AC hotel, and now the Hyatt, it all works as a small community. We have places to live, places to stay as guests, places to eat, and soon, places to shop.” Werkman believes his guests and employees will patronize the restaurants and shops at the Steelyard Apartments, and he also sees the residents being a part of life at the hotels. The opening also marks the first Hyatt hotel to open downtown. The hotel is classified as a select-service operation, but Werkman notes much of the amenities are reflective of a full-service brand and top what is offered elsewhere in the entertainment district. “One of the biggest differences between the Hyatt Place in Bricktown and other hotels is our food and beverage program, which is called the 24/7 Gallery Kitchen and the coffee to cocktails program,” Werkman said. “We will be offering a full slate of Starbucks drinks where you can come down at SEE STEELYARD, 12

STEELYARD CONTINUED FROM 11 9 a.m. and order a latte and you can come down at 2 a.m. and do the same thing.” The Gallery dining menu, consisting of prepared food from the hotel kitchen, also will be available at all hours. A complimentary breakfast, meanwhile, will feature cage-free eggs and antibioticfree chicken. The Gallery and bar also will feature a lineup of local craft beer and deserts. The meals are served with real utensils and real plates. “We want our guests to feel as if they are at a full-service hotel, even though it is at select-service pricing,” Werkman said. Getting a deal done with NewcrestImage took some extra time, Brooks said, but the hotels have proved to be well worth the wait.
INSPIRATION FROM THE EDGE Brooks looks back at his first downtown project, The Edge, as an inspiration for his approach to mixing retail with housing at The Steelyard. “The design we had for The Edge did not include retail,” Brooks said. “And Mickey Clagg (a partner in Midtown Renaissance Group) called me and said, ‘Look, we really would like you to do retail on the first floor of the Edge.’ And I wanted to do apartments, I wasn’t doing retail. And he was pitching me a vision in 2013 of Walker from NW 13 to 10th Street being walkable with restaurants, shops, a mall type atmosphere.” Brooks bought into the dream and converted the ground-floor apartments facing Walker Avenue into retail space. Thanks to such cooperative efforts, Walker Avenue between NW 10 and NW 13 is home to a popular mix of restaurants, clothing stores, shops and salons. “The retail at The Edge is not a great design,” Brooks said. “The ceiling height and depth is not ideally suited for all retailers. We got lucky with Ben Nockles and Commonplace Books and now Gogi Go (described as “Chipolte for Korean food”). We’ve been incredibly fortunate to get some of the hottest retailers downtown

at The Edge.” The retail space at the Steelyard, meanwhile, features two-story high ceilings and a bay depth desired by retailers. Ample space is available for patio dining. Allison Bailey, lauded for her work recruiting retail along Walker Avenue, is leasing the Steelyard’s retail space. Deals are being worked on, Brooks said, but they have not progressed far enough to make announcements.
'THE YARD' IS DIFFERENT As he did at The Edge, Brooks listened to suggested changes for the Steelyard. He credits a participant in the weekly OKC Central Live Chat for inspiring the creation of “The Yard” that separates the west and east buildings in the first phase of the residential development. “I called my team together,” Brooks said. “I told them, ‘We’ve got to do better here. Let’s see if we can break this up.’” The site layout was changed with a street added between the two large buildings that provides access to the garage and also created more storefronts. “Steelyard” lettering was recently added atop steel support beams at the entry to The Yard, providing passers-by a hint this complex will be very different from any other in the city. “We spent a lot of time getting that sign lit up right,” Brooks said. “We will have strings of lights over the space and we will be able to close this off and have food trucks come in here on Friday and Saturday nights. We will have concert nights with a stage set up.” Brooks reports the design is having an impact on attracting restaurants to the development. “The restaurants in particular are excited about our 20-foot ceiling heights and being a part of a community that will ultimately house over 700 residents in east Bricktown.” Ideally, the entirety of the first phase was to be finished by now. But an electrical mishap with the transformer led to a delay in completing the east building, which will include part of the retail space and 60 of the 250 apartments in the first phase. Brooks expects the first phase to be

fully completed by July. Pending a few months of good leasing activity, Brooks is looking at starting design, financing and development for the second phase of retail and 205 apartments by December with construction to follow in late 2019. Brooks was right when he predicted the
development wouldn’t be quick or easy. But he admits, he did not foresee the twists and turns that shaped the Steelyard into what it is today. “I knew it would be complicated,” Brooks said. “I just didn’t know how complicated.”

H
ow do you go about forgiving a monster? “I Can Only Imagine” tiptoes around that difficult question in this song-inspired biopic. Behind the lyrics of the Christian crossover pop hit, there’s a story of complex grief, illness, child abuse and a great deal of sadness spurned by broken people in a broken home. This faith-based movie only scratches at such difficult details in exchange for something lighter and more inspirational. Directing team Andrew and Jon Erwin made a choice to pursue a story that’s more “Rudy” than “Friday Night Lights.” When you’re aiming to make a PG-rated drama, it makes sense to hinge a movie on the song’s uplifting sentiment. “I Can Only Imagine” already has a successful framework, and the brothers want you to leave the theater feeling better. But MercyMe songwriter and frontman Bart Millard’s song and life story should sizzle with more emotional weight. Overcoming an abusive father (Dennis Quaid in ultra-mean mode) and an absent mother

(briefly played here by Tanya Clarke) led to the creation of a song that’d break into mainstream notoriety and gain him the opportunity to motivate a planet’s worth of people looking for comfort in their own arduous times. I was conflicted when I walked out of the Oklahoma-shot movie, which too neatly unravels Millard’s youthful years in Texas and rocky teenage years touring on the road before writing the film’s title track. It’s like a “Walk the Line” watered down for the family-friendly crowd. But singer and actor J. Michael Finley brings no shortage of enthusiasm to the starring role. He handles the emotional highs and lows of Millard as if he were ready to bring the story to Broadway. He’ll make you believe just how much one person can love music.
It’s also a somewhat self-important character — nearly every conversation and scene revolves around Bart — which is a lot of narrative weight to shoulder. The character struggles to find his place in the music industry while blighting his dark past. His reluctant manager Brickell — songwriter Trace Adkins, who’s always ready with fortune cookie wisdom — sees right through him and recognizes a hidden pain. So, what’s surprising is how often the film stops short of saying — or showing — anything potentially upsetting or thought-provoking about the frustrations created by abuse. It seemed strange to me that the entire third act hinges on a performance of “I Can Only Imagine” when there’s so much left unsaid between Bart and his family. It’s a missed opportunity to remain so fluffy in the face of such an interesting origin story. It also speeds too quickly through the road of forgiveness. Quaid’s transformation from tyrant to Southern Texas frittata chef is jarring. In one scene, the father figure bashes a plate over his son’s head after an argument. Not long after, the two are reunited, and Dad’s dishing out fancy eggs. Neither
character expends much effort wrestling with the cost of redemption even though there’s a season’s worth of Oprah moments to hash out. I think forgiveness can be simple and beautiful, but shouldn’t it be more of a struggle? This could’ve been a chance to explore humanity and instead veers toward boosting the song’s mythology. The stakes could be so much higher, and “I Can Only Imagine” too often settles on serving comfort food. Filmed on a modest budget of $7 million, I see how it made the most within its limitations. It looks like a much more expensive movie than it is thanks to the sunset-soaked Okie cinematography, secular soundtrack and recognizable actors — all three things that are bit out of the ordinary for its genre. To be fair, the movie never acts like it has all the answers. Rather, it’s an example of how one man found hope, forgiveness and redemption in the face of impossible odds. It’s not so much about how to forgive. Instead, it’s an advertisement for the profound aftermath of forgiveness. I understand why that’s powerful, but how the characters in this film found so much grace is left to the imagination.

spring, including a stop at Tower Theatre. The sun started setting on the chilly, quiet November evening, and it’s the sorta night where the allure of Netflix burns like a crackling fire. But Charley had sold out the Blue Door. Pulling in roughly 100 concertgoers on a weeknight is no small task. So how did this bluesy performer — a claimed descendant of the storied Davy Crockett — wind up back in Oklahoma with an eager crowd on such a sleepy evening?
The easy answer would be to name-drop who he’s opened for throughout the Oklahoma music scene. The Turnpike Troubadours have toured endlessly to crowds of thousands and it’s often Charley and Co.’s job to warm up concertgoers. At the time, he was also about to head overseas for a lengthy European tour with Tulsa-native JD McPherson. By now, Crockett’s own name is making splashes on the national scene by catching the attention of Thirty Tigers, a Nashville-based label that’s got a knack for

finding and amplifying the stories of Americana songwriters that have something worth singing about. It’s a tide of luck and timing that packed his Blue Door concert, which was more than a decade in the making. Crockett, who’s still in his early 30s, sat down with me in the blue venue’s green room to share his journey from playing to anyone who’d listen on New York subway platforms and the streets of Louisiana to finding an audience of his own in Dallas’ Deep Ellum district and then around the world. IT ALL STARTED IN THE KITCHEN Crockett’s mother loved singing throughout their singlewide trailer, especially in the morning. The pair lived in a rural slice of South Texas. As a youngster, Charley would join in with her soulful voice. “She doesn’t sing in front of me anymore,” Crockett said. “I guess I’ve gotten older, and she thinks I’m a star. She’s like embarrassed or something. When I was a kid, she wasn’t embarrassed at all.” She embedded a confidence in Charley at an early age. However, he wasn’t dead set on becoming a musician until later in life, but he learned an important lesson. “I didn’t ever have any fear about singing,” Crockett said. “If your parent is singing, you start singing with them and they never tell you otherwise, then you think you got it. That’s a good thing. In life, most of it’s just believing that you got it. It doesn’t matter what it is.” Believe it and it happens, he said. Even when you’re hopping trains and hitchhiking to get by? Charley would make that argument. “I’ve been thrown off of a train outside Chicago in a real rough way,” Crockett said about a run-in with railway security. “That’s happened a few times ... but you have a way better chance of changing your situation on the road rather than staying in decaying suburbs or a dying town.” His travels have taken him everywhere, but no place has been as influential as Louisiana. That’s where he met his trumpet player and longtime bandmate Charlie Mills Jr., who’s got some great advice if you ever find yourself in New Orleans: Don’t drink the water. “Think about it, man. Everything from all the rivers, refineries and farms meets down there,” Crockett said. “The flip side of that logic explains why the music is so amazing in Louisiana. You could be listening to swing jazz or traditional honky tonk bands all on the same block. There’s also so many kinds of hip-hop that came from those neighborhoods.”

CHARLEY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 “If I’d picked a different day to really nail down the track list, then they could’ve all been different,” he said. “A lot of them are love songs that make you so sad that you feel good. You have to hear them over and over again in the bar. That’s why I recorded those. Isn’t it strange how some of those really sad honky tonk, drinkin’ songs make you feel so good?” “Charley Crockett presents Lil G.L.’s Honky Tonk Jubilee” landed in September, and Crockett built the record’s playlist from his favorite versions of his favorite songs. He tried avoiding overplayed tracks. Old-school cuts from Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Ernest Tubb and one modern number from Brennen Leigh made the 16-song collection. The classic country playlist feels almost off the cuff, like the way his band sounds in concert. “I don’t ever rehearse. This band doesn’t rehearse,” Crockett said. “All the guys who end up playing with

me end up the same way. We play all the time.” Charley originally had planned to release his covers record under the obscure “Lil G.L.” nickname. After all, the record was mostly just for him. But after returning to Texas, his sophomore LP “In the Night” started building momentum thanks to public radio and Thirty Tigers knew adding “Charley Crockett presents” could spark a fire. A NEW RECORD Crockett’s momentum led to another tracking session at Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis for a fresh batch of tracks called “Lonesome As a Shadow” due April 20 via Thirty Tigers. It’s his first collection of 100 percent original material. The record flexes what Charley does best: It sticks to simple stories from his own life. He gave that sold-

out Blue Door crowd an early taste of the record when his band left the stage, and he played a song solo. He dedicated the acoustic number to his late sister. It’s called “I Wanna Cry,” and the track respectfully mixes a tender story with an upbeat energy — even without accompaniment. The track opens the new record with a thumping beat and jubilant accordion sounds. It’s a really, really sad song when you think about the inspiration, but it’s hard to feel down. Charley’s warm, old-school delivery — where Texas sounds more like Teh-thas — makes his brand of blues feel brighter and more optimistic. The album’s littered with song titles referencing teardrops, sadness and worry, but Crockett seems to love his songs — especially the downcast ones — so much that they can’t sound hopeless. “My newer work is my best effort at trying to write songs that can last and mean something,”
COVER STORY
Crockett said. “I’ve got this old timey Cajun and rockabilly thing rolling through it. I’ve also got stuff on there that brings out the Bill Withers side of me. But it’s still my deal.” It’s uncanny to see and hear how much Crockett respects the past. He name-checked American songwriters such as Woody Guthrie, Irving Berlin and Leon Payne, not only because of their popularity but also because their songs have withstood the test of time. “We have not outdone those people,” he said. “Maybe we’ve added layers, but we haven’t outdone them. Think about film. I think that the narratives of old films, just like the narratives of the old songs that Hank Williams made popular, haven’t evolved so much that our stories are any different. “The feeling of being on a lost highway or having that ramblin’ spirit … there’s something about the sadness of the song makes you happy by getting it out.”

day spent inside the Culinary Innovation Center at Sonic headquarters last month offered definitive evidence of how chef Scott Uehlein and his crew keep Sonic on the cutting edge of the quick-service restaurant world. That’s a much longer story than we have space for today, so I will have to settle for letting you know the new Slinger is worth checking out, and the forthcoming pickle-juice slush is as delicious as it is horrifying. My face did the same thing most of yours did when the pickle slushie arrived, but then I tasted it. Some will love the shock-value, and a slightly larger crowd carry palates cosmically linked to cucumber brine. But the average palate doesn’t

typically associate pickle juice with a sweet, icy treat. Honesty compels me to report chef Uehlein and friends have found a way to extract the delicious soul of the dill pickle and transfer it into a refreshing flavor that in no way brings to mind sipping from a jar of gherkins. In the same way the Kool-Aid pickle throws the palate for a loop, so, too, does this drink. Out of a group of about half a dozen beverages in front of me, the pickle juice slush was the one I consistently returned to through the afternoon. As surprising as the pickle slushie was, the item I sampled and was genuinely wowed by was the new Slinger. What makes the Slinger work is its patty, which is a blend of ground beef and mushrooms. “Wait, what?” you ask. Hit the breaks. Take a deep breath, and take a second to remind yourself how much sauteed
mushrooms enhance a great steak. Then consider the prime difference between the thin patties places like Sonic serve versus gourmet emporiums like Nic’s Grill is juiciness. Raw mushrooms produce moisture as they cook. So, as the beef burns off its natural juices, the mushroom reconstitutes while adding umami other burgers lack. The fact that it offers fewer calories will draw a lot of folks, but I predict the flavor will keep them coming back. We learned a lot more about what’s coming soon and how far ahead chef Uehlein and his crew look for flavors. We even had an interesting chat with CEO Cliff Hudson, who made a strong case for using the Sonic app, which is uniquely positioned to show the way for pickup service in the fast-evolving SEE SONIC, 19

SOMETHING BREWING AT THE AMBASSADOR Changes are happening in the kitchen at the Ambassador Hotel. Chef Taylor Desjarlais recently took the stove at the Viceroy Grille, succeeding Leo Novak. By the end of the year, Desjarlais will not be chef of the Viceroy. That’s not to scare his wife, Hunter, into taking triple shifts, it’s to let you know the Viceroy will be replaced by a new concept at which Taylor will remain chef.
LOOKATOKC.COM
The new place will be called Cafe Cuvee. The massive upgrade chef Kurt Fleischfresser enacted at Vast obviously has caught the attention of the industry. Last year, Ambassador hired Fleischfresser as a consultant to oversee not just the local rebrand but as the company plots an aggressive nationwide expansion plan. “It’s going to be a classic French brasserie,” Fleischfresser said of the new restaurant inside the Ambassador. “Picture a place where John Bennett would want to plant his butt.” Look for many more details on this venture, including how the chef emeritus’s derriere finds the environs, down the calendar.
OSU PLANS INAUGURAL CRAFT BEER FORUM The Oklahoma State University School of Hospitality and Tourism Management in the College of Human Sciences has scheduled the inaugural Craft Beer Forum of Oklahoma on April 7 at the new Wayne Hirst Center for Education. Like its sister event, the Wine Forum of Oklahoma, the Craft Beer Forum is a student-led and studentmanaged event. “The School of Hospitality and Tourism Management is proud to host this inaugural event
as part of our continuous effort to be a leader in hospitality education,” said Ben Goh, assistant dean and school director, in a release. “The 2017 Wine Forum of Oklahoma was truly a groundbreaking event. With the addition of The Craft Beer Forum, we will continue this legacy by educating students and the public on craft beers and brewers, a natural fit for Oklahoma.” The Craft Beer Forum program includes keynote speakers, seminars, lunch and a Pint-N-Bite Tasting to end the day. The range of seminars includes beginner, intermediate and advanced sessions with a variety of educational options for attendees. The Pint-N-Bite will include tastings from 25 breweries and 20 chefs from across the country. The honorary chair for the Craft Beer Forum is Eric Marshall, founder of Marshall Brewing Co. located in Tulsa. Marshall studied brewing in Munich and apprenticed in many breweries during his time in Germany. In 2007, he began Marshall Brewing, Tulsa’s first production craft microbrewery. The ticket price for the Stein-N-Snack and all day sessions is $75, and the evening Pint-N-Bite Tasting is $50. Registration begins at 10 a.m. with a full day of events and seminars planned.

Velijah Cato knows the recipe for a good pizza, and a good business. The Domino’s Pizza general manager has been making pizza for the company since he was 16 and is now leading a team at the chain’s 16325 N May location. Cato strives to serve customers through a combination of innovative practices, positive culture, customer service and, of course, good pizza.
Domino’s innovation is on display at the store managed by Cato, which features what is being called a “pizza theater” to allow customers the ability to watch their pizza being made. “The pizza theater setup lets our customers walk through and be able to see,” Cato said. “Kids will get up on the ladders, it can get interesting. Some of the more experienced people can toss the dough and stuff like that, put on a show.” The setup seems strange for a company so SEE DOMINO’S, 21

DOMINO’S CONTINUED FROM 20 devoted to the delivery model, but it’s indicative of a change throughout the company to improve its image, as well as its product. “Domino’s has just been flipping their company around trying to get it to be the best pizza company in the world,” Cato said. “They changed some of their recipes a couple years back and went through all the stores and looked at them and said, ‘You know, these places are starting to look a little bit ratty. We don’t really like the presentation that’s coming with it, our customers need to see something great if they’re going to come in to the best pizza company, they need to see something better than what Pizza Hut or Papa John’s has to offer.’”
AN INSIDER’S PERSPECTIVE Cato’s history with the company gives him an inside look at the changes being made. “I started as a cashier,” Cato said. “I’ve been able to move up through the ranks and the brand itself is always growing.” The changes are affecting the bottom line, according to Cato. Customers are responding to improved standards, higher levels of professionalism and
LOOKATOKC.COM
customer service. Cato attended a gathering of managers hosted by Domino’s Pizza in Las Vegas two years ago to receive training on the changes, and learned the value of improving service. “The CEO of Domino’s was there, he was leading some of the stuff for us, and he got to set down some of the stats of the changes we have made and how they have improved our businesses,” Cato said. “As a 16-year-old kid, you don’t really realize it too much, but as you get into the management field and aspect of it, and really get into the business part of it, I see the sales growth of just crazy numbers.” Cato saw the change firsthand when he was asked to manage another location before the opening of the store on north May. After making several changes to cleanliness and promptness of delivery, the store saw a 20 percent change in sales in one year. However, Cato believes a change in service was the leading cause for the boost. “If a customer calls me with a complaint, I’m able to realize we made a mistake and fix it for them,” Cato said. “I actually do care when someone has an issue.”
‘IT’S PRETTY COOL’ One of Cato’s employees, Baylee Roach, has worked for Domino’s for a little more than four months, but is working to adjust to a new location and new teammates. “Our franchise has kind of merged our stores and
are trying to get in the groove of finding our own way to do things here,” Roach said. Roach sees the value of the pizza theater with customers while she works to prepare their food. “People love that,” Roach said. “Especially the step up (ladder) for the kids. It’s pretty cool, I enjoy it.” Turning a Domino’s Pizza into an enjoyable workplace is something Cato strives to accomplish for his employees through competitions and company culture. After attending the conference in Las Vegas — where competitions are held for fastest pizza making times, or most boxes folded — he encourages the same friendly competition among his employees. But speed is still on the manager’s side. “He’s fast,” Roach said. “Really fast.” The speed is crucial in the pizza delivery business, and the fast-food industry overall. Cato cites Chickfil-A as an example of a restaurant that can have a parking lot full of cars wrapped around its store, but customers still get their food relatively quick. Similarly, if orders pile up in a Domino’s Pizza, the speed training is needed to keep up. This work supports Cato’s dream to continue to move up within the company. He hopes to expand his supervisory role to other stores and learn as much as he can from the franchise owner. His long term plan? It involves less day-to-day pizza making, but Cato sees himself with Domino’s for years to come. “I want to step into owning stores eventually,” Cato said.
