It also has to cover one of those huge oval plates, and leave you almost comatose when you finish it all.

Sadly, it's long gone, but Massey's on 8th Ave in Ft Worth had the BEST of the BEST.....among many good chicken fried steak places. Paris Coffee Shop is still going strong, though.

I recall driving across Texas sometime back in the eighties... I'd covered about 700 miles that day, and I stopped someplace in Houston for dinner. I was exhausted and the chicken-fried steak sounded great. But, being that tired, when it arrived, I was somewhat perplexed to discover it wasn't chicken at all. "Oh, right... steak."
In my part of the south, it was always 'country-fried steak'.

I heard both terms growing up, but chicken-fried is mo betta IMO, because it's the exact same buttermilk/flour with a buttload of black pepper etc., fried good.

In Georgia? I remember it bring "chicken fried" when I lived there but that was 30 years ago. I don't trust my memory much anymore.

The Toast Restaurant in Anderson, Indiana. Old school diner,+ and the country fried steak with an order of home fries (fried potatoes) is extremely tasty, and suitably high in caloric content. Oh, yeah!
Unless you guys are all gonna send some up this way... man, this is just mean...
We'll make an exception. I don't see no politics, do you?Hey you can't talk about that here

Can't remember where I ate recently that had both a country fried steak and a chicken fried steak. Might have been in Burbank?
Whatever I had was pretty good.

I expect to be passing through that area in a day or two. I may check out Skeets.

Goddang this thread is making me hungry. Had a great CFS visiting Texas last month but I'm all ready for another. You can get it here and there in the NE but it's not a "thing" and I'm not sure the Greek diners that populate NY/NJ could handle it.

Went to a place called the Gunnisack in Gunnison, Colorado. Chicken fried prime rib ~ hillbilly heaven.

Chicken-Fried Steak isn't chicken.

Chicken gets breaded in seasoned flour and fried, if you do the same to a steak, it’s called Chicken Fried Steak.
Regardless of the name, it’s delicious, and when you load on the spuds and biscuits and cover it in more gravy, you got yourself something to talk about. A little Tabasco wouldn’t hurt anything either.
BJ’s Brewery serves one the size of a Studebaker hubcap.
