OKC Underground Podcast: Matt and Wakana Sebacher

Tamashii Ramen House [https://tamashiiokc.com/] opened in the original Midtown location in June 2015, and they were immediately busy. That year was pivotal for OKC's food scene, especially in terms of Asian food, because while the Sebachers were opening Tamashii, Chef Jeff Chanchaleune [https://maderlaokitchen.com/] and 84 Hospitality [https://www.84hospitality.com/] founder Rachel Cope were rolling out Project Slurp in the Plaza District [https://plazadistrict.org/], a series of pop-up ramen dinners that were wildly popular, and were the basis for what would become Goro Ramen. Restaurant quality ramen was rare before 2015, but as the Sebachers were to learn, OKC was ready for it.

OKC Underground Podcast: Courtney Mankin

Courtney Mankin is president of and partner in The Social Order Dining Collective [https://www.thesocialorder.com/], the company that includes The Jones Assembly [https://www.thejonesassembly.com/] and Spark [https://www.eatatspark.com/], as well as franchise locations of Fuzzy's [https://www.fuzzystacoshop.com/], and Dave's Hot Chicken [https://daveshotchicken.com/]. For the past two years, she's participated in a Leadership OKC [https://www.lokc.org/] hospitality panel at Jones, and in both cases, I've been uber impressed by her grasp of the issues and her ability to articulate complex ideas clearly. I asked her to come on the episode to talk about the numbers that matter in restaurants, which we get to in the second half, but her story is interesting enough that we barely got to the ostensible main point, which is completely my fault, and honestly, completely fine given the conversation.
