What we’re about
This is a group for mature connoisseurs (40+) that appreciate sophisticated, gourmet dining around the metroplex. We will meet at an upscale, gourmet ($$$) restaurant on the 2nd Friday of each month and enjoy an eloquent brunch ($$) on the 4th Saturday or Sunday of each month. (If you like cheap dining this group is not for you.) Enjoy an experience for all of your senses!
Often the opportunity will arise for travel to a more casual Saturday Festival or for a weekend trip. Occasionally there will be opportunities to travel around the state, the USA and maybe internationally.

Connoisseurs, Time for a little spice in our lives. It is no coincidence that FRIDA southwest sits at 500 Paseo, located in the most treasured historic Paseo Arts District. They celebrate nature, culture, art, and the flavors of Oklahoma, Santa Fe, and northern Mexico through exquisitely executed cuisine, crafted from the finest locally-sourced ingredients.
After lunch several of us are going to the Jewel Box theater to see the play Death Trap.
Menu: FRIDA southwest - Menu - DEATH TRAP AT THEJEWEL BOX THEATERJewel Box Theatre, Oklahoma City, OK
Deathtrap is a 1978 American play written by Ira Levin with multiple plot twists driving its play within a play story. It holds the record for the longest-running comedy-thriller on Broadway, and was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play. A washed-up playwright finds a chance to rise to the top once more, a shot he’d be willing to kill for. Sidney Bruhl hasn’t written a hit play for 18 years when he receives a script from a former student, Clifford Anderson, that’s a guaranteed success. When Clifford arrives later that evening, no one--not even the visiting psychic--could predict where the dark events of the night will go. Who is innocent? Who only seems that way?
Tickets can still be purchased by calling 405-524-1786 Tuesday thru Friday from 1:00 until 5:00.

Connoisseurs am changing the date for this play as I am in the mountains on July 20th. You can keep the original date or change it by calling the Jewel Box at 405-521-1786 from 1:00 until 4:00 Tuesday thru Friday. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, is a play by Tennessee Williams, published and produced in 1955. It won a Pulitzer Prize. The play exposes the emotional lies governing relationships in the family of a wealthy Southern planter of humble origins. The patriarch, Big Daddy, is about to celebrate his 65th birthday. Set in the "plantation home in the Mississippi Delta" of Big Daddy Pollitt, a wealthy cotton tycoon, the play examines the relationships among members of Big Daddy's family, primarily between his son Brick and Maggie "the Cat", Brick's wife.
