I was asked to be a part of it, but I cant handle restaurant hours anymore.

Interesting, 3rd Degree is an ad firm here in OKC. There current headquarters are two blocks north in Bricktown, on Main Street. Perhaps they are moving to bigger digs?

The name of the restaurant is "Three Degrees".

Its going to be a fusion restaurant of sorts.

Okay, that makes more sense. Wow what a few letters difference can do. Ad firm vs. restaurant. The logo looks cool and I like the idea of a fusion restaurant back in Bricktown. I hope it lives up to the hype and they are smart enough to advertise, otherwise, they are doomed from the get go.

Yeah, I hope it does well.

Although that location seems to have a curse or something. How many restaurants or bars have failed to make it in that exact spot?? I can count five. Good luck to 3 Degrees.

The hype I'm sure the owners will give it, just like every restaurant in that location before.

Yeah I'm not sure what metro is getting at...Don't have any restaurant experience, but I would think not talking up your place before it opens isn't a real effective marketing ploy

Please stop by and try out some of our slightly above average food...Oh and it's kind of a cool atmosphere...I've seen much better, but what can you do we are trying to be as cheap as possible

well then you obviously agree with me Easy180, owners talking up their business is essential. I still call it hype until they've proven themselves, thus the need for the restaurant to live up to the owners "hype" or being as good as they say it is, in order to survive. Especially in a cursed location in Bricktown of all places.

What the heck is fusion? I think the reason so many restaurants fail in bricktown. SKY HIGH RENT!

Sky High Rent is a HUGE problem in Bricktown, that is one reason they fail. But bad or no promotions and not doing their homework is another huge problems. It is a very seasonal place although that is slowly changing, especially with the huge draw the NBA provided in the normally slow winter.

Fusion is a blending of different culinary tastes. When it's not specific, usually it's American/Asian fusion, but you'll also often hear it used just to describe any blended flavors like Latin-European fusion, Thai-American fushion, etc.

So, basically, it can really be anything that blends traditional tastes to create a new one.

It would be great to see something really new, interesting, and ultimately successful in that location. I wish them luck!

I just read in today's issue of the Gazette that Three Degrees is temporarily on hold until the first part of next year. They said they missed their "window of opportunity". They are currently only doing private lunch catering and private banquets.
