… anyone who is not familiar with chicken-fried steak: you take the cheapest cut of meat you can find (one that Master Chef Arpad Nagy would likely never allow in his kitchen), beat the hell out of it with a mallet, then bread it, deep fry it, and cover it with cream gravy. Done right, it is the closest thing you’ll find to heaven on earth short of a Springsteen concert with an all-you-can-eat taco bar.
