Meet Milo
One evening, as the sun set on the plains of Oklahoma, a wild hare and a curious catfish met beneath the towering stalks of milo sorghum. They shared stories of tradition and imagination, inspired by the colors and flavors around them.
Named after heritage milo sorghum, Milo sources ingredients from local producers with a focus on fresh, local flavors—all with a curious culinary twist.

Chef Beth Lyon

As a teenager, she entered the food service industry by way of Coit’s Root-Beer Drive-In and later as general manager of Irma’s Burger Shack. It’s here that she met Kurt Fleischfresser, James Beard award winner and her future mentor.
