Braniff Building

per 324 twitter ... they have their soft opening preview all next week by invite only ..

I walked by there this evening on my way to the Thunder game and noticed the event going on. How do I get on that VIP list?
Seriously, I have been walking by there for more than a year now from my office to Thunder games. So exciting to see the building finally have some life in it.

Lucky enough to score a soft opening invite for lunch at Kitchen 324 today. Interior even better in person. Staff attentive and seemingly very well-trained for so early in the game. Food every bit as good as expected, if not better. As usual, Tuck and crew especially distinguish themselves from other restaurants/groups by having amazing sides. I don't say this to diminish the sandwiches, which were first-rate. However, I honestly think they do sides better than anybody. The golden russet wedge potato salad was like potato crack.

After one visit, this place is now easily one of my favorites downtown.

Ha! I saw someone taking that pic and actually randomly wondered if it would wind up on here. Not sure exactly what I was doing, but I swear that I was NOT picking my nose.

Not at that moment.... (and yeah, I'm the guy in the red shirt, sitting across from Urbanized who at that moment was not picking his nose)

"Potato Crack", Tuck should trademark that and use that name on the menu. Lol.

That's bald-ING. Get it right! I just haven't found the right stylish flat cap to cover it up...

Went today, pretty good. Very nice setting.

The only thing that got to my wife was when they put the food on a counter to organize before delivery to the table, they had a worker that was handling some of it with out any gloves on. You would usually see them wear plastic gloves but the lady was not. I told my wife to go back in and tell the manager if it bothered her. She went back in but came right back out and said she'd let someone else tell them, since we were on a time schedule. First impressions were very good though.

It was also very crowded, the server said they'd run out of breakfast food 20 minutes before it was over, it was onto lunch..... pretty good for their second day of business.

Most restaurants the expo workers do not wear gloves.

So the kitchen is open to the public by now, how is the rest of the building coming along?

You can notice from that last picture that the scaffolding in down on the Robinson side of the building. As I walked past there this evening to the Thunder game it appears that the barber shop on the south side is not far from opening. I really is beautiful.
