Are you from deep S. Texas?  Because my old man -- not a childish ketchup aficionado by any stretch - puts ketchup on his CFS.  And so do his peers.  I was stunned when I first saw him do it, when I was maybe 8 or so.  But he grew up in Eagle Pass, and I'll be damned -- a lot of guys from Kingsville on south eat their CFS with ketchup on top of the gravy.

I love it with my cfs and white gravy.

Chicken fried steak with white gravy and A-1. Fight me.

Thoughts on cfs with sausage gravy?  It's popular up in my neck of the woods, I'm not a fan of it.

As in breakfast, biscuits and gravy style sausage gravy?

Hell.

Yes.

My ideal plate is white on the cfs, with cholula (or similar), brown on the taters.

Yes.

Our local Cajun joint uses andouille bits in their CFS gravy.

I like Hienz 57, but close enough 

[Brisketexan 105154]

I like sausage bits in my cream gravy for biscuits.  I've even had it with chorizo, which is damned fine.

For my CFS, I just want cream gravy with plenty of pepper and a dash of salt as needed.  And don't skimp on the gravy, you sonofabitch.

If you want to mix stuff into your cream gravy, like ketchup, or hot sauce, you do you, that sort of freedom is what we fought both the American and Texas Revolutions for.

But as for those folks who put brown gravy on their CFS....some people just want to watch the world burn.

Perhaps it’s a German influence? Jaeger fried steak? Chicken fried schnitzel?

[Braff Zacklin 13616]

Hill Country CFS is absolutely a localized adaptation of Jägerschnitzel.

What’s the place that puts queso on their CFS?

Huh. I dunno. Man, I miss Shady Grove’s tortilla crusted queso catfish. That was glorious.

I ordered a CFS at a truck stop in Kansass City, Misery once...ONCE! They served a mystery meat breaded patty with brown onion gravy. I damn near set fire to the place myself.

Lulu’s in San Antonio was first place I’ve seen queso on cfs. 

[irishtexan 11521]

I'm team "gravy on the side" so that the breading stays crunchy. White gravy and lots of black pepper. Don't need any more protein because I'm already eating a deep fried steak.

I've had the cowboy style cfs from Matt's. It's pretty good. But when I go to Matt's (usually not my choice), I'm getting the asadero tacos, as those are the only true standout menu item that I've had there.

Couple of Mexican restaurants here around Taylor do that, actually chicken fried fajitas topped with queso, damn tasty.  I always ask for tortillas and make some cfs, rice and bean tacos.

My mom grew up eating those in the valley. Sometimes, she’d make em at home as a treat. They rock.

Never had these but I keep coming back to this post. Corn or flour tilla? I think I have some flour at the house right now. Might fix up some for the ol lady though I don’t think that’s the weinerin she had in mind for Valentine’s Day.

Corn.  They get crispier faster.  And, that's what they used back in the day in the valley.

Didn’t know this about that the filling station, thought it was a one off place on Barton springs, pretty cool.

What temp was the oil you fried it in?

[orange dream 1254]

It looks like you made it upside down, try harder.

[deft 6855]

Had to test the flour too. Crisped up but not near as much as the corn

since when?

[Braff Zacklin 13616]

Opened the fridge feeling a bit peckish this a.m. Saw a third of an onion, leftover potato wedges and a nearly finished bottle of Mezzetta's Hot Jalapenos. Decided breffis tacos were on order.

A dozen eggs, half-pound of bacon, pepper jack cheese, hot Valentina and some fresh tortillas later and I was happy boy. Is there ever a bad time for breffis tacos?

[ChickenSandwich 9843]

My leftovers now have leftovers--probably another four or five tacos worth.
