Have you ever had chicken fried steak?

[luckyval]

The only place I've had it is at Bojangles, a local fastfood joint. They serve it as a breakfast biscuit and holyhell it's awesome

[Deleted]

Yes. I has to be homemade though. Restaurant CFS always has too much breading.

I don't think I've ever had it - ever!

We always had brown gravy with it. And it was cooked in the gravy after being fried.

So maybe not entirely accurate. lol

I think brown gravy might make me like it more!

I might just have to give that a shot...

Explain this.

When I see "chicken fried chicken," I just want to say, "......so, fried chicken, then?" lol.

I've seen it called this only when it is a fried chicken cutlet not bone in chicken (aka regular fried chicken) and serve with white gravy. So chicken fried like chicken fried steak lol

[Jalapeñomel]

There are people who have never heard of chicken fried steak (or country fried steak)?

I can get behind most things with white gravy.

It's pretty delicious, but I've only eaten a bite or two from my dad's. He loves it.
Get vanilla in your cherry limeade.

I seriously always did this when I was a car hop. I got to make it so it was basically syrup with a little soda. Ha

[Jalapeñomel]

I also can get behind the fried zucchini from Carl's Jr.

Slightly related anecdote: I worked at this restaurant that was a renovated soda shop from the 1920s. During the day it was very much a soda shop type place and it turned more upscale for dinner.

Anyhoo, for the older customers, we kept a small bottle of quinine syrup behind the counter to drop in their sodas upon request.

You know what's good? Frying bacon, then egg in the bacon grease, then tomato in the bacon/egg grease, then bread in the bacon/egg/tomato grease.

OMG yum. I need to do this.

[MixedBerryJam]

I have only had it in TX. As a breakfast, iirc? A local burger joint offers a chicken fried hamburger ... I want to say they call it the "Artery Buster." I'll have to look.

ETA: From their menu:
Artery Clogger
Deep fried, beer battered burger topped with bacon, american cheese and bbq sauce 8.75

My kids had that twice in one week once. Talk about your bad mother!

[EmilieMadison]

Ok. I will admit right now, that I have no idea what Chicken Fried Steak, Chicken Fried Chicken, or Country fried steak are. I've HEARD of them, but...what is it? Is it chicken? Is it beef?
I like the sound of it though because it's fried and apparently has gravy.

Also, luckyval, I love the flavor of quinine I swear I"m not old!!

emilie, I am SHOCKED.

Well you should be, considering my love of most things that are covered with gravy.

But for real. WHAT IS IT?

This. Plus the white gravy. Not the same as fried chicken.

Do it. It's probably the best breakfast ever invented. We used to eat this every Sunday morning, but now I'm trying to be all healthy and shit *kicks dirt*

No way! You pound the meat (heh) so that it's nice and thin. Not chewy at all.

I've heard of it, but never tried it.

[sarapocalypse]

Love it! It's H's favorite dish. He grew up in Texas.

[Daria Morgandorffer]

The Texaz Grill in Phoenix makes the best CFS and potatoes ever. OMG I want some rightfuckingnow.

[screwedup]

Without reading all of the replies, I live in GA. Of course. If it can be fried, I've had it.
