Chicken-fried steak is what they use to get rid of USDA Commercial grade steaks.

come to san angelo.. you wont be able to find a restaurant that doesnt't serve chicken fried steak. even the mexican joints serve it. chicken fry(as we call it), is a staple menu item around these parts.. i probably have some lodged in my arteries right now..

I have been told by many many people to get some chicken fried steak at my first opportunity. And I must say, it sounds like a great idea to me!

i agree.. how can you fry anything and not make it better..

this year at the TEXAS STATE FAIR in dallas, they introduced some new desserts to the midway.. among the big hits were.. fried twinkies, fried cheesecake, and fried candybars(snickers, milky way, 3 musketeers).

i am planning my trip for next year..

my dad used to say you could bread and fry a dog-terd and make it taste good.. thank god he never tried it, i think?

one of my favorite desserts is fried ice cream....no joke.

That stuff is fantastic. I've only found it in Arizona, though. Where else can you get it?

All El Torito restaurants serve fried ice cream.

nevermind. Of course, the rest of the food is crap, so I never stay to look at the dessert menu...

Funny thing, when i was in Austin last November, we could not find a single place that sold it except for our hotel!! I doubt the Crowne Plaza Austin has the best chicken fried steak in town but after walking for an hour and asking at 4 different steak houses, we gave up.

chesseroo,

If you find yourself in Austin again, ask for directions to THREADGILL'S. There are two locations...Lamar and Downtown.

Down home Texas Chicken Fried Steak, the way it was meant to be enjoyed, smothered in cream gravy...with homestyle vegetables (that come with free seconds...veggies not meat).

Too bad I was not on the Axiom board back then...I could have pointed you to a number of great places to eat downtown...

Austin...Live Music AND Great Food...

I was TYRING to think of the name of that place! I ate at Threadgills a few years ago while in Austin. It was fabulous. I really adore chicken fried steak, and that place was mecca. Great food, fun place. The Texas Capitol building was really memorable, too.

We have just enough transplants from other places in the Seattle/Tacoma area that you can usually find some pretty credible food of just about any type, including CFS. What Furrer said about presentation - it ain't right without the cream gravy.
