Most mornings, I catch the tail end of Freedom 43’s disturbingly ramshackle view into all things Oklahoman, Rise and Shine. And, during the commercial break, I’m reminded that this morning celebration of a/v club mediocrity—hosted by Emily Sutton, Lacey Lett and ugh Lucas Ross—is brought to me by the good folks over at Around the Corner Restaurant, 11 S. Broadway in Edmond.
Known—as many restaurants seem to be in Oklahoma—for their obnoxiously large cinnamon rolls, Around the Corner gave me a bit of cognitive dissociation when I walked into it for the first time, mostly because I thought I accidentally stepped into a Beverly’s Pancake House franchise; when I asked our server about it in-between watching the fresh-squeezed orange juice machine Pee-Wee Herman us a couple of cups of OJ, she told me that the original owners were just really good friends with Bev and her crew.
