Yeah . . . making those connecting flights at DFW can be a bitch . . . =)
So . . . Let's imagine (and when i say Let Us i mean okc "foodies", in conjuction with potential corporate restaurant providers) . . . that someone wanted to pile some money into a new provider location with an expectation of a return . . .

What better location than right next to the recently relocated Stage Center (for the adults) adjacent to the perpetually unfinished NativeAmerind Cultural Center (providing bicycle dirt track ops to the kids) (rather than giving it to The South Side to Fix I-235)?

Based upon imaginary restaurant openings in the Metro . . . I think that La Madelene would be a preferred option not only to Mimi's but could possibly even trump Nicolette's! (file that in The Appendix to the Hitchiker's Guide to The Galaxy =)

(Google! It's everywhere! Happy B-Day, Doug! =)

edited to add . . . from "Le M. Menu" . . .
this sounds good to me:
Creamy spinach and Swiss filling in a puff pastry

this sounds even better:
Chicken Friand
Puff pastry filled with chicken, mushrooms and béchamel sauce, topped with mushroom sauce


Still, I would be willing to bet that Panera's Clam Chowder with half a Cali Pannini on the side would kick their ass. =)
