Tulsa's Oktoberfest: one of the best in the country, according to 'Today'

"Bavaria comes to Oklahoma" -- it's a slogan Tulsa's Oktoberfest could borrow from NBC.

Maybe they've used that, though, in past years at Oktoberfest, which we already knew was countless kegs of fun -- and one of the best in the country, different magazines claim.

The newest validation came courtesy of NBC's "Today Show," when guest Kate Maxwell, a travel editor, included the 918's take on the annual German extravaganza on her list of top fall festivals around the country.

"I think Oktoberfest, I don't always think of Oklahoma," an NBC anchor said during the segment. That's probably a safe assumption for most folks outside the Sooner State.

"No, you might think of Germany, generally," Maxwell replied before touting Tulsa's annual German beer-infused brouhaha as "one of the best in the country ... Bavaria comes to Oklahoma, really."

"The next best thing to Munich, I guess, is Tulsa this time of year," the anchor said. Kinda cool, huh?

I love the food at Oktoberfest. Mazzio's mobile kitchen serves zwiebelkuchen pizza slices. It is only available at Oktoberfest. It is an onion and bacon 'German Quiche'. Delicious.

I noticed that this year they also had a bratwurst pizza slice for sale.

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
