Loddy....that Texas type Chicken Fried Steak looks toooo wonderful....

Now, I have never been in Texas, except for once when we were driving west, when I was a kid, and we just drove across the upper portion for a few miles...I think my dad did that, just to be able to say that we were actually in Texas, and mom could put it on her list of states we had been in...so no worthwhile time was spent there, mores the pity....

In fact, I never even had a chicken fried steak, never really knew what it was until abouty 17yrs ago....we were driving down to California, for Mikes burial, and we stopped at this wonderful restaurant in Oregon...a very homey and warm place, not a big commercial joint...

On the menu was something called 'Chicken Fried Steak'...being as I had never had it, I asked the waiter exactly what it was, and so he described it to me, and assured me I would love it...so I ordered it...

It was absolutely delicious....Looked much like the pic you are showing, except that this was served with Mashed potatoes, rather than fries....

Hopefully someday we will get to Texas and I can try Texas Chicken Friend Steak in Texas and make a comparison...

You know, BigDom and I, both being raised in Chicago, loved our Chicago Style Hot Dogs, Chicago Style Polish, and Chicago Style Beef and Sausage Combo sandwiches...out here in the Pacific Northwest its hard to get those gourmet delights...but we do have a favorite little place up in Tacoma, called Kathys, which serves exactly those taste treats....they bring in all their meats and treats and eats from Chicago...and people who run it are from Chicago, in fact they are from the very same area of Chicago that BigDom is....

My point being, if we can get Chicago Style eats in Tacoma, cooked and served by native Chicagoans, perhaps that Chicken Fried Steak I had, could have been prepared by a Texan, transplanted to the coast of Oregon...

But, still look forward to seeing and tasting the flavor of Texas in person, someday...

I am same as andysmom
back in nyc I never heard of chicken fried steak
but it is popular here in Tucson
it is delicious and looks just like the picture you posted

andysmom I am not havin' easy time findin' what I was used to in nyc here in tucson
I have not found pizza which tastes like pizza
the eggplant parmesan sandwich I ordered at ''ny deli''
(sposedly a nyc italian deli)
was not very good

however chicago cuisine is popular here
and I love it
plus I love mexican food
and texas food which is served here
so I figure I came out ahead
Love, Palo

also all places serve biscuits and gravy for breakfast
we never had that in nyc
it is yummy
