OKC FOOD SCENE Panel

Chef Kurt Fleischfresser had a love for cooking and started in the kitchen at an early age at Sullivan’s on Reno. During that time, Kurt was honored to receive an apprenticeship with Bernard Cretier at Le Vichyssois where he spent two and a half years at this location just outside of Chicago. From there, Jean Banchet connected Kurt with the team at Vincent on Camelback in Scottsdale where he spent time before becoming a Saucier at Enjolie at The Mandalay 4 Seasons and later at The French Room at The Adolphus.  READ MORE

Book 'em Danno

 by Drew Edmondson
  Are books becoming things of the past, like transistor radios and slide rules?

There was a time when our Rotary distributed dictionaries to local schools.  We don’t do that anymore because it is too easy to look up words on an iPad or iPhone (or Android) and nobody just reads in the dictionary to find out new words or obscure meanings to the words we know.

My office, however, overflows with books that I consider essential not just for my work but for my life as a sentient being.  Of course I have a dictionary – the Merriam Webster Collegiate.  Also the Random House Dictionary of the English Language (Unabridged Edition), large enough that it has its own book stand.

As a sometimes attorney I have the essential and omnipresent Black’s Law Dictionary, Revised Fourth Edition, 1968 – still pretty new when I started law school in 1976.  It came in handy recently when the principle of enumeratio unius est exclusio alterius came into play in a court proceeding.  Black’s not only defines, it cites cases!     READ MORE
