Changing seasons bring changing menus, including the fare at Thirty Nine, the restaurant inside the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City. Chef, writer, and TV host Loretta Barrett Oden sits down with the editors to discuss the new dishes, a new garden, and how to connect modern foodies with the one cuisine that hasn't found purchase in the U.S.—Native American food.

Check out the new menus at Thirty Nine here and, for more information on Oden and First American cuisine, look for her new book coming in October.

Also on the podcast, the editors grapple with the eternal breakfast quandary: Sweet or Savory? in Question of the Week. Follow Oklahoma Today on Facebook and Instagram to take part in the conversation.
