4 dishes from Oklahoma, cooked the way the place cooks them.
Cube steak dredged twice, fried in half an inch of oil until the crust blisters, and served under a milk gravy built on the crumbs left in the pan.
Small pods cut into rounds, soaked in buttermilk, tumbled in seasoned cornmeal and fried hard, so the slipperiness that ruins boiled okra becomes the glue that holds the crust on.
A four-ounce ball of chuck with a fistful of paper-thin onion smashed into it on a hot griddle, cooked until the onion has fried into the crust and become half the burger.
A pie built on toasted halves and dark brown sugar, with cream in the custard and less syrup than the standard, baked until the centre reads 200°F and moves as one piece.
