I never had chicken fried steak until I moved to Austin. This place was legendary 30 years ago. Glad it's still around:i’ve never had biscuits and gravy. no idea what that gravy is. my pop used to order chicken fried steak. no clue what any of htat mess is
Ignorance on this matter is one thing, to have tried good B&G or Chicken Fried Steak & still think this way is 'Murican Blasphemy.
McMurt, go there. Order the chicken fried steak dinner. You will also get two of the biggest sides with it you have ever seen. Have a Shiner Bock first, to loosen up your gullet. You will be so full, it will be painful.
If you have it in you, after you're done, let your food digest a while, maybe listen to some live music if they have it that night, and then head over to the Yellow Rose, which is nearby.
Deep dish is good, Detroit style is better
I was looking up articles on best regional. Philly cheesesteak is overrated, a Chicago Italian beef is so much better.
I like Cincy chili, shocked it hadn't been mentioned.
No one else appreciates a cold turkey sandwich with real mayo and cheese the day after Thanksgiving?
Last year, my MIL actually made the turkey a day before so we could all have sandwiches on Thanksgiving, which was phenomenal.
@all4you Clearly we'll be dining at different restaurants in heaven or wherever you're headed.
@mcm666 It might be slightly overated, but more than once did I stand in line at Cunetto's at 4:00pm. Those big bowls of pasta are legendary. I think there used to be a dish that Pavarotti ate every time he was in town. Basically a Puttanesca sauce.
@bradstevens Turkey on the smoker is delicious. Especially the drums.
@boogie as much as i love my T-day turkey, I'll pass on all the leftover experiments. If i'm going to eat it afterwards it better be slathered with lots of cranberry. And speaking of cranberry that canned jello shite should be outlawed. Homemade cranberry sauce is the only way to go. Add some orange or apple slices, all-spice and cinnamon.

For several years I have cooked the Thanksgiving Turkey on Wednesday. I meticulously carve the whole bird, put all the larger carved slices into an oven safe container with some stock made from the bones and pan juices from the roasting process, and the smaller chunks and much of the dark meat along with the remaining stock and mirepoix are used to make Turkey and (fat homemade) Noodles or Dumplings the day of to serve with the meal. The carver stuff is moist and tender after a short reheat in the oven and I had to double my Turkey and Dumpling/Noodle recipe because so many want seconds and/or to take some with.
A good friend will bail you out of jail, but your best friend will be sitting next to you in the cell saying "that was f***ing awesome"
@all4you Do you make a homemade chicken soup (with or without noodles) using a whole bird to make the stock? My mom taught me this method when I was a kid. Throw the whole bird in the pot with whole carrots, celery, onion and fresh parsley. After abouit 8 hours of cooking on low skim the fat off, strain everything. Pull pieces of chicken off the bone and serve after a slow simmer of another hour. More vegetables can be added after the stock can be made so they're not mushy. Often I'll add more carrots and parsnips (which is an underated root vegi IMO).

That's awesome. Wife does the whole stoopid TG spread, and I thank her for it, but she knows ima bullshitting and just want the sammiches. Which is why she makes home made bread for the days afterwards.
Ham. Tastes like shit. I’ve tried it sliced, whole, etc and do not understand how people like it.
Super thinly sliced ham and Swiss on rye bread, grilled, is one of my favorite foods. Wife doesn't like it. I get to have it whenever she's going to be gone.
@eppy99 man I have not eaten there in ages. A group of buddies of mine have opened multiple restaurants down there. Kind of the only ones we go to now.
@mcm666 Is Tony's still around? I remember it being pretty famous at one time. If I recall it's the only restaurant I know of that didn't have a sign because it was famous enough everyone knew where it was.
