What the hell is chicken fried steak? Is it chicken or steak or both?

It's a chopped steak breaded and cooked with a fried-chicken style breading. And if done right it's delicious. Usually served with a gravy.

A couple of examples of your encounters with a chicken fried steak done wrong would probably be helpful for Harmless to know, Rebar.

I'm currently working on a collection of short stories entitled Wrong Breading, Wrong Gravy: At Least the Chicken is Right.

There's no chicken in chicken fried steak.

Thus it is a perfect title for my bad experiences with CFS that you suggest I share with Harmless...

But if there's chicken, then it's not right.

Rebar · **Posted:** Mon Aug 20, 2012 3:48 pm

I guess I was trying to say that if one part of CFS is wrong, it's all wrong, contrary to what an inexperienced CFS eater may think. Sorry for not being more witty with the title of my fake book, Reid.

Spoiler: show: sigh

At least the chicken's right, old friend.

Rebar · **Posted:** Mon Aug 20, 2012 3:49 pm

see because the "...Chicken is Right" part was facetious.

Real question: Can you top an expertly breaded chicken fried steak with hollandaise instead of gravy?

Rebar · **Posted:** Mon Aug 20, 2012 3:55 pm

Thin ice, friend.

why in the world would you want to, though? I thought the gravy makes the dish.

I respectfully disagree, and I'm taking this innovative approach even further by plating the thing atop some hand cut pommes frites and crowning it all with a fried egg.

Rebar · **Posted:** Mon Aug 20, 2012 4:01 pm

Now that's a breakfast.

washing machine · **Posted:** Mon Aug 20, 2012 4:03 pm

I couldn't be more glad that we had this talk.

Rebar · **Posted:** Mon Aug 20, 2012 4:05 pm

I'm due for a good CFS. May need to pop into a local hole in the wall and see what they can serve up.
