Hey Ed,

I've never been there myself, but I've heard Brother Jimmy's BBQ is splendid. They list Chicken Fried Steak as the first dish on the menu online. The "original" Jimmy's is on 2nd Ave between 77th and 78th, and there are a couple more in that area.

Also, I am glad Coke is back to the red, the ribbon, and the script. Coca-Cola is an American icon.

If Coke is "just" sweetened water, then what are beer, wine or coffee? If you don't care for soda (or pop depending on where you are) that is fine, but lets not act childish.

Oh I love it. I love the simple essence of the design. Reminds me of the old coke signs I grew up with. Of course back then we still had the green bottles. I dutifully took mine back for recycling and got a nickel a bottle.

I had the CFS at Mickey Mantle's a few years back and it was pretty good. I remember The Mick raving about it when the place first opened and eventually tried it. Good, but I've had better in Texas - most recently Booger Reds in Ft. Worth.

Just a side note-
My husband and his family went to eat at Lambert's in Sikeston, Missouri tonight and both he and his sister ordered CFS. I laughed when he told me this, and then had to explain about this question because he didn't see what was so funny.

I also ate chicken-fried hamburgers, pork chops, and tuna steaks in the line of duty. All with cream gravy.
Texans, be sure and check out Scott's CFS ratings at dallasfood.org!
CFS recipes can be found in The Texas Cowboy Cookbook.

Here in Tennessee, CFS is a big thing. People eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Smothered in gravy of course! Most places here have a Chicken Freid Chicken option too. And its funny how many people get the two confused and order the wrong thing.

New Orleans' own Ye Olde College Inn not only serves CFS, but they do it as a po-boy, dressed.

Great article. Brought back memories of the years I lived in Texas. Being vegetarian, never did like CFS but my family requested I prepare it at least once a week.
