Let’s get this back on track … Double mashed potatoes and milk gravy without any “medley” of inappropriate vegetables. Richter’s Antler Cafe in Spring Branch.

Brotherton's bbq in pflugerville does a damn good cfs on Friday nights. Jalapeño gravy added a nice kick.

Not too many mentions of Coleman, TX on surly.  My family still in TX is there as is our property.  Love that place.

We talk about Coleman in the hunting thread. The best pizza is in Coleman too, on the same street as Cattle Drive Cafe.

All of the Rancho places are great; and yes, it's some of the best pizza I've ever had. I miss the old restaurant at their house.  It's coming back in a limited capacity.  Robert is a great guy - been through some tough stuff in recent years.  Is his new barbecue place open just down from the pizza place?

I have only met Robert once, seemed to be a great dude. I travel in that area pretty often and try to eat there as much as possible. They did open the bbq joint, I’ve only been once, what I had was great. Hate to hear that he’s had a rough time lately.

Alright, made the CFS tonight.  Cooked up a bunch of smaller ones to share with neighbors and kids over for trick-or-treating.

Wife and kids got me a side of beef from a local farmer for Father's Day.  It's damn near the best beef I've ever had and it was so cheap compared to buying at the store.  Highly recommend if you have never done that (or even just a quarter of a cow).

Decided to go with some eye of round and some skirt.  Trimmed, tenderized and pounded out thin.

Saved the large pieces of fat to render out the grease to make the gravy.

Setup all ready.  Double checking the recipe from the video posted earlier.  Used a decent amount more seasoning in the flour mixture than he uses in the video.

Frying the first batch.  Gravy and mashed potatoes staying warm.

Resting on wire rack.

Color looks off here but this little bitty one was perfect.  This is one of the ones plated up for our friend's kid (8yo and it was plenty for him).

I was looking forward to tossing some leftovers in the airfryer in the morning, crisp up again and serve with eggs.

Sadly there were no leftovers. 

I'd give it a 7/10 - better than anything else in Indiana, but I expected more from myself.  My neighbors had never had it before and all have midwest tastebuds so they were blown away.  Easy crowd to please.  Halloween success.

What was the target temp for your frying oil?

Made some pan fried bone in chops the other night.   Delicioso.  I’ve posted pics of the deep fried ones before, but these were equally good…

The chicken fried steak coating came out soggy not crispy. I’m perplexed. Flour egg wash flour. 

Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to your egg wash. That's the key I stumbled across. Throw in a healthy dose of your favorite hot sauce while your at it.

So, 3 teaspoons of baking powder in the egg wash?

So…I just saw this magnificent beast online. The Vaquero, from Vic’s in Albuquerque.

CFS. Topped with chili gravy and cheese. Served on top of beans, potatoes, and two over easy eggs…served on top of a piece of fry bread.

You would die, but die happy.

Served on a plate that ensures half of it will end up on the table
