City continually grows in the culinary arts with

restaurants are popping up all over the metro

every day with great local and out of state chefs

bringing us a flair for our taste buds. Oklahoma

is continuing to quickly to take the culinary world

renowned Chef Kurt Fleischfresser. We had the

privilege of sitting down with Chef Kurt this month

accomplishments over the last several decades.

His passion and excitement for the culinary arts is

inspiring and shows how far Oklahoma is coming

in the food world. We are excited for the culinary

advancements continuing to happen in our state.

hand in your pantry or refrigerator. Impress your guests or family without going to all the trouble. Keep

it simple: it’s as easy as 1-2-3!

Dry in the oven until it no longer sticks to your fingers, about 2 to 3 hours.• Cool on a rack until completely dry.

Banana Oat Cookies• 2 large very ripe bananas• 1 cup of oats (quick or regular; if you use

little so everything holds together better)

EDUCATING Your DietPALEO

What Is It?This modern nutritional diet is designed to bypass the, ironically enough, modern culture of food.

The idea behind this diet is to take our eating habits back to the Paleolithic era, when the human diet consisted of wild plants, animals, fruits and vegetables. Nowadays trans fats and sugars are commonly found in foods to the degree that some question the need for such additives at all. There is evidence that these ingredients are at the root of several degenerative diseases and conditions, including obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, depression and infertility. Looking to become Paleo? Here are a few tips to remember.

What Can I Eat?Okay to Eat:Fruits, vegetables, lean meats, seafood, nuts & seeds, healthy fats Avoid:Dairy, grains, processed food & sugars, legumes, starches, alcohol

Health Benefits:With a simple shift, practitioners of the Paleo diet are removing the foods that fight against their health

and are increasing their intakes of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Not all, but some, document more efficient workouts, stable blood sugar, burned-off stored fat, reduced allergies, clearer skin, better teeth, and improved sleep patterns.

VEGANWhat Is It?

The ultimate animal conservationists, vegans do not eat or use any products that derive from an

animal. Commonly mistaken for vegetarians, who do not eat meat, fish or poultry, vegans take it a step

further by avoiding products such as eggs, dairy, honey, leather, fur, silk and wool. Many choose to be

vegan for health, environmental or ethical reasons, or to promote a more humane and caring world.

What Can I Eat?The key to a nutritional vegan diet is variety. Without the proper

education, it’s easy to have an inadequate protein or calorie intake.

Okay to Eat:

Fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts,

seeds and legumes

Avoid:

Any product that derives from an animal, such as beef, chicken,

fish, eggs, honey, dairy, and butter

Health Benefits:

Because they cut out certain animal products, such as high-fat

meats and eggs, vegan diets are typically free of cholesterol and low

in saturated fat. Over time this has been shown to reduce the risks of heart

disease and cancer. Because of the lack of dairy, calcium needs to be attained through sources such as

okra, soybeans, tempeh, almond butter and broccoli.


GLUTEN-FREEWhat Is It?

What in the world is gluten? It’s a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and the derivatives of these grains, including malt and brewer’s yeast. The gluten-free diet is one of the fastest-growing nutritional movements in America. Though it is necessary for those with celiac disease, a severe allergy to gluten, many people believe going gluten-free helps with gastrointestinal distress, peripheral neuropathy, headaches and joint and muscle pain.

What Can I Eat?Okay to Eat:Fruits, vegetables, meats, poultry, fish, beans, legumes and most dairy products Avoid:Barley, rye and wheat. Unless labeled gluten-free, items such as beer, breads, cakes and pies, cereals, pastas, seasoned rice mixes, matzo and croutons

Health Benefits:In America, an estimated 18 million Americans, 17% of the

population, suffer from gluten sensitivity, and 3 million, or 1%, suffer from celiac disease. For some, going gluten-free relieves symptoms of gastrointestinal distress, joint and muscle pain, mood disorders or “brain fog,” unexplained infertility and other reproductive health problems, multiple sclerosis, thyroid disease and ADHD. Some gluten-free diet supporters have also reported weight loss. Of course, moderation and exercise are still important. Also keep in mind that many gluten-free foods, especially if processed, can contain the same amount of or even more calories, fats and sugars as their counterparts with gluten.

PESCATARIANWhat Is It?

While we all know what vegetarianism is, we might not all be familiar with pescatarianism. Pescatarians

abstain from eating all meat and animal flesh, with the exception of fish. Many adopt this diet for health

reasons or as the first step into a fully vegetarian diet. Many pescatarians believe that the moderate

consumption of fish or fish oils is necessary for optimum health. These diets are rich in omega-3 fatty

acids, which are believed to have major health benefits.

What Can I Eat?Okay to Eat:

Fish and seafood, vegetables,

fruits, butter, oils, breads,

pastas, beans and legumes

Avoid:

Meats, including chicken, pork,

beef, lamb and turkey

Health Benefits:In avoiding red meats and some forms of poultry, a pescatarian’s diet is lower in saturated fats, which

in turn can bolster cardiac health. Eating foods that are rich in omega-3 fats, like salmon, tuna and

mackerel, is a great way to lower triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood. In addition, pescatarians

typically get a great mix of calcium, potassium, iron, zinc and other vitamins and minerals from eating

fish, which is high in B6, B12, riboflavin and niacin, and fish oils, which are high in vitamins A and D.

HEALTHY LIVING

AT HOME EXERCISE

WITH Scott Do

facebook.com/pages/Scott-Do-IFBB-Pro/426083150803447 instagram.com/scottdo_fitness

Who says you have to have an expensive at home gym to get a decent total body workout? There are

countless ways to workout at home with items that you are surrounded by daily. No more excuses! Here

are just a few:

A DINING ROOM CHAIR

• Use a chair to do triceps dips. The requirement is that it does not move (no rocking

chairs). Sit in a sitting position in front of the seat of the chair with your legs at

90-degrees, place your hands on the edge of the seat, and bend

down and push yourself back up. Do 3 sets of 30.

• Use the chair for one leg squats. Do squats with your back facing

the chair and the top of one foot bent back and the top of it resting

on the seat. Bend your leg on the ground at the knee in a

90-degree angle and come back up. Do 3 sets of 15.

PAPER PLATES

• Use paper or plastic plates to do mountain climbers. Start

in a push-up position and place the paper or plastic plates

under each foot. Without rocking or swaying your hips,

slowly slide your right knee towards your chest then push

it back. Repeat with left knee. Once you get the hang of it,

move at a swift pace. This is a total body workout,

including targeting your lower abs. Do 3 sets of 30.

CANTALOUPE, WATERMELON, GALLON WATER JUG, OR SOUP CAN

• Use a weighted item to do Russian twists. Sit

on the ground with your legs in front of you, bent.

Raise legs/feet off the ground about six inches.

Use the weighted item and move it from hip to hip.

Your top body is twisting, while the bottom is

staying stable. This works your abs and back. Do

3 sets of 30.

in the Fall of 2012, and it just keeps getting better.

Nothing beats hanging out with all your friends, and

some strangers, when you have tons of great food,

multiple televisions, lawn games, and of course, local

craft beer on tap. The setup for any good tailgate

will start the day before; you gotta stake your claim

well ahead of time. Then early the next morning,

regardless if the game starts at 11am or 7pm, it’s time

to get things going - tents go up, TV’s on, and the

feast begins, you’re ready to cheer on the team!

A contemporary American Public House, Republic Gastropub, sits right in the middle of the popular Classen Curve in Nichols Hills. Redefined is the perfect word to describe everything about Republic. They are bridging the gap between beer bar and upscale eatery. Their imaginative menu is built specifically to complement the extensive beer menu. This gastropub astonishingly houses over 100 unique beers drawn from custom taps, roughly 250 hand selected bottles from around the world, a superb wine list, and unique cocktails; there is bound to be no shortage of choices. Upon walking in you can’t help but take notice of the modern décor, high-energy atmosphere and an abundance of TVs in all sizes. We chose to sit outside during a lovely fall evening. Patio season is in Oklahoma is just a month or two out of the year unless you want to freeze or melt. While the weather is beautiful and football is on, be sure to try out their large patio. It’s set with separate seating areas and each are accompanied by their own separate large screen TVs, perfect for watching your desired sports events with some of your closest friends. We were served by their wonderful staff who is extremely knowledgeable of both the extensive drink menu and dinner menu. The food came out in a timely manner and piping hot, which is a must in by book when dining out. Each dish was unique in it’s own way and plated in a playful manner. It was all delicious and filling; my personal favorite is the hot onion and bacon dip. Republic Gastropub is making its way through the culinary world with great technique, a wonderful atmosphere, lovely staff, and delicious eats.

SnacksAhi Tuna Tartar – fried jalapeno and onion, avocado relish, soy vinaigrette & tortilla chips. The onion rings were covered in a fluffy batter and fried to perfection.

This dip is so creamy and delicious it should be illegal. There is no skimping on thick bacon chunks married perfectly with onions and various cheeses.

Jalapeño Glazed Salmon – pan-seared and served with your choice of a delectable side.Subtly spicy yet oh so nice-y (yes I had to rhyme).

heralds the start of a new cycle with positive impact on your professional life.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18)Work, work and more work up till the 9th but you will reap the benefits of a powerful connection between Mars and Jupiter at this time. Your professional opportunities start to open up for you at last. Mercury and Venus in your ninth house on the 18th reveal an exciting new phase in learning, travel and foreign cultures. You may wish to take up a new language too. Romance is also favored by this planetary connection and there should be some interesting new friends made.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20) You have an urge to travel but you need to do that in the first week of the month as business and professional responsibilities may get the better of you after that. You may have cut corners and will start to realize that a job just has to be done. You need to look carefully at your expenses and whether or not you are capable of helping someone through their difficult patch just now as well. You really should be helping yourself first! Caution should be exercised between the 15th and the 20th.

ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19) This is one of the more loving cycles of the year the Sun and Venus connecting in your marital zone.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21)The full moon around the 8th to the 10th is important and shows you will have a new lease of life on your work or rather work practices. You may be emotionally involved in what you are doing and realise that you need to segregate your heart from some of the tasks at hand. Increased energy is likely when the sun moves to the sign of Scorpio on the 23rd of October as does Venus on the 24th. You will be attractive and likely to experience successes both in work and in your social environment.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21)Trying to make too many changes too quickly will present problems on the 4th. A more constructive period takes place around the 9th when Mars and Jupiter enter into an excellent aspect. Mercury and Venus in your eleventh house on the 18th show wonderful social opportunities at this point in time. New relationships should be avoided between the 18th and 24th however. Your health should improve around the 27th due to the beneficial vibrations of Jupiter and the Sun.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19)This is a lucky month with the Sun and Venus in the upper part of your horoscope. You can do no wrong. Don’t let your social interests interfere with your professional obligations. You may overstep the bounds of good taste. This can happen around the 8th of October and also the 11th when boundaries become blurred. The powerful conjunction of the Sun and Mercury on the 17th and Mercury and Venus on the 18th


You genuinely feel attractive and attracted to your partner or significant other and to those of you who are unmarried or uncommitted, this may well be a time when that changes. This is a pleasurable month and Jupiter continues to offer you good luck, creativity and romance in ample measure.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20)Power plays are likely around the 4th but with some clever side stepping on your part between the 5th and the 8th you can gain control of unruly people, especially if you are an employer or a team leader. A period from the 9th to the 25th may make you feel out of step with your peers. Don’t feel as if you have to toe the line and do everything the way others do. Maintain your individuality this month. Some solution to a financial problem can take place from the 28th.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)Harsh words, impulsive actions and a clash of wills are likely as a result of the Moon / Mars combination in your marital zone. Business partnerships also can be antagonizing so keep a cool mind and find conciliatory ways to address issues. Brilliant, innovative and creative expression finds its way into your work activities with consequently good reactions from others between the 6th and the 10th.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)New happenings and a more peaceful period should punctuate your life in your domestic sphere. Venus brings renewed activities, social engagements and reconnection with relatives. An eclipse in your zone of work on the 8th of October is very telling and shows that some new opportunities arise in this sphere of your life. Mars enters your zone of relationships on the 26th, so be careful of becoming embroiled in disagreements.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22)You are bold and brazen this month but in a fabulously creative way. Others will look up to you, particularly after the 5th when Mars tyrants Uranus in your houses of spirituality and creativity. This shows an emergence of spiritual feeling. This will be at odds with the Venus square Pluto aspect on the 9th which means there could be a tug of war between your ethical, moral and physical, material interests.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22) You can be lucky financially this month but at the same time you may overspend because of a sense of financial security. Take your time and save your money wisely. Compulsive spending patterns around the 9th are due to the influence of Pluto in your speculative sector. Curb your tendency to gamble. Improvements financially take place on the 15th, 17th 18th and 21st. Powerful influences on your emotional life and love affairs will be felt on the 26th when Mars spices things up.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22)You need to deal with someone’s demands emotionally and sexually this month and this peaks around the 9th. By sharing your dreams and your desires around this time you may be give them a different perspective. Monetary issues between the 11th and the 23rd will cause you to be unavailable for your partner but a small gift or gesture of affection on the 14th can bridge the gap you are feeling between each other. An important transit of Mars to your zone of domestic activities on the 26th indicates a push for more independence or a creation of more space in your living area.

KURT FLEISCHFRESSER Master Chef and Owner of The Coach House

Chef Kurt Fleischfresser is not only taking the Oklahoma culinary scene by storm but making his

mark on the entire world. His is a story 30 years in the making. Kurt had a love for being hands-on

with food for most of his life, until it became a strong enough passion that he decided to leave

college, travel to Chicago and pursue entry into one of the country’s great kitchens, one that until

then he had only read about. Chef Bernard Cretier of Le Vichyssois took him in as an apprentice

chef, and Kurt began his culinary journey. Now, three decades later and with several of Oklahoma

City’s favorite and finest restaurants under his belt, Kurt has created many great kitchens of his

own. Kurt’s list of endeavors in restaurants, both in and out of Oklahoma, is quite impressive: he has

owned or had a hand in the French room at the Adolphus hotel in Dallas; Enjolie at the Mandalay

Four Seasons in Los Colinas; La Champagne at the Registry Resort in Scottsdale; and in Oklahoma

City, the Metro Wine Bar and Bistro, Iguana Lounge, Earl’s Rib Palace, the Museum Café, Deep

Fork Grill, Irma’s Burger Shack, and the Ground Floor Café, among others. Chef Kurt almost needs

an entire book to list his accomplishments, awards, programs and board memberships, but just to

name a few:

This chef has done far more in the last 30 years than most of us can imagine doing. Obviously,

his great works aren’t limited to Oklahoma. Chef Kurt has been traveling around the world on

behalf of food of the southern U.S. and for the Southern United States Trade Association, opening

a café in Paris, serving as chef at a restaurant in Singapore, and visiting other countries, including

China, Chile, France and Germany. In recent days, Chef Kurt has taken over Vast atop the Devon

Tower, completely revitalizing and revamping everything from the menu to the space. The most

rewarding part of his job is his apprenticeship program, through which he is able to provide a unique

experience for young chefs. He currently has 35 apprentices out all over the country who have

completed their two and a half years at The Coach House. Thinking about taking the leap into the

culinary world? Kurt’s piece of advice to you is to gain experience. Get out and taste, try and enjoy

the experience—it is the best thing you can do for your culinary education.

Outside of the food world, Kurt loves to build and enjoys carpentry. He is currently building a

bar top out of an old pub from England and installing 18th-century paneling in his kitchen. It was an

extreme joy to sit down with Kurt and learn about his unbelievable journey of the last few decades.

Be sure to head over to The Coach House and enjoy a delectable dinner. Our advice: try the shrimp

and grits appetizer and indulge in the rack of lamb entrée. Bon appétit!
