Chicken Fried Steak


Limp Brisket

Recommended Posts

Hamilton, Texas. It’s at the Circle T arena. They have a hotel there as well, great place to stay if you are in that area. The calf fries are an appetizer, the steaks are damn good too.  One night I had the filet with blue cheese.

I had nightmares about that picture after seeing it yesterday. Woke up screaming at 3:00 a.m. when an unlicensed dermatologist in an abandoned mental hospital used a steak knife to make an incision on a poor person without health insurance's chest and a huge cyst exploded out. I tried to ease my mind by convincing myself if you rotate the plate a bit to the right it's really just a happy face with two eyes and a mouth that just blew a record setting chewing gum bubble that popped. But then I noticed the happy face must not have set the record and wasn't happy at all because it's obvious the failure resulted an angry dad's left hook that turned the right eye black. 

I'm going to have to get chicken fried steak for lunch to make the world right.

Fred’s Texas used a griddle for CFS at the old place.  Don’t know about the new place.

God I loved the W 7th location of Fred's.  Really good burgers, cold ass beer.  Used to be able to get $2 Banquets all day every day.

Chicken Fried Chicken Thigh... brined, mash, squash, gravy was awesome.

So 1st post didn't seem to work. 

There is no CFC. Period. End. Of. Story. FC or nothing. Are you a communist? Healthy vegetables in this thread. Get the fuq out. Gravy game seems strong so Steelshank will have some mercy on your soul.

I too think this is just fried chicken not cfc water the fuck that is.  I’ll give a pass on the squash if it was fried to bacon grease.

Ok, I've thought about it, and I've always been on team "words have meaning", e.g..

Bean Stew != Chili

Confit Byaldi != Ratatouille

Fried Chicken Sandwich on a Bun != Chicken Burger

I will refer to what I made as CFSSFCC or "Chicken Fried Steak Style Fried Chicken Cutlet"

Fried chicken is chicken on the bone, battered, and fried in grease or oil.

A fried chicken cutlet, is not that.  So it can't be called the same thing.

If you don't like calling it chicken-fried-chicken that's fine, call it something else.  But if you invite me over to your house and say you're serving "fried chicken" and instead you serve a fried chicken cutlet, I'm gonna throw a coke on you.

I'll still eat it though.  I like chicken fried chicken.

Double mashed potatoes and milk gravy without any “medley” of inappropriate vegetables.

Richter’s Antler Cafe in Spring Branch.

Finally. Some goddamn sense made on this thread.

WTF?

Is there an apple pie a la mode apple pie? NO.

Is there a meat lovers omelette meat lovers? NO. 

Now a  'fried chicken cutlet' is ok. That is different words describing the dish. Using the same words twice is against the fuckin Constitution. Look it up.

Look. It does upset me some people are not giving the 4th place dish of Texas it's rightful due. I mean if you do not respect CFS then where does that lead? Dissing BBQ? Tex Mex? Breakfast Tacos? This slope scares me so much I'm scared things like tofu may become mainstream. Is that the chaos you want?

Nah.  I think most of us revere good CFS. Back in the early 2000s, I thought Lucile's in Ft. Worth did a pretty fine job with it, if I do say so myself.

OK, let's use some common sense here.  A "chicken fried steak" is literally (at the very least) a cut of beef fried in the method one would fry chicken.

To disallow "chicken fried chicken" is lunacy.  It's literally closer to the mother recipe.

Well, that's true, and around here, that's "not very".

Sorry, I edited my post to make what was going through my mind funny.  See above

 

/edit: So I believe a more appropriate response would be, "BLOW IT UP!!!! BLOW IT BACK TO GOD!!!"

I'd have fun eating a good peppery white gravy on my shoe, so yes, I'm down for fun.  So to speak.

If we are going back to the old days in Fort Worth - I think that Massey's has entered the building:

If we're being pedantic are steak fingers a sub category of chicken fried steak or are they their own thing?

You're probably cool with boneless wings and chicken fajitas.

for both chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken, the first two words "chicken fried" describe the cooking method because it is battered and deep fried like traditional fried chicken.   the last word describes the meat used
