 Texas – Chicken Fried Steak & White Peppery Gravy

Welcome to The Lone Star State and another Great Plate! 

Pull up a chair and loosen your belt. This one’s pure Texas folklore on a plate. Chicken Fried Steak is Texas comfort with immigrant roots. German and Austrian settlers brought schnitzel know-how in the 1800s, Texans swapped fancy veal for tough local beef, pounded it tender, breaded it, fried it like chicken, and called it a win.There’s no chicken involved. It’s “chicken-fried” because the method matches fried chicken. The real star is the peppery white cream gravy, poured on thick and proud. Over time, CFS went from hard-times cooking to Texas icon, name-checked in books, loved in diners, and even recognized by the Texas legislature. Chicken fried means white gravy, country fried means brown, and Texas knows exactly which side it’s on.

Chicken Fried Steak done the Texas way. Tender cube steak, double-breaded and fried till it’s crunchier than a gravel road in August, parked next to house-made mashed potatoes and drowned in peppery white gravy. No chicken, no apologies, just a fork-tender legend that eats like a love letter to your taste buds straight from Texas

 No chicken, all Texas. Come get yourself a proper Chicken Fried Steak. What cha waitin’ for?!
