Ask Rip - Chicken-fried steak

[dws]

I've been looking for a really good chicken-fried steak, and I'm always disappointed. What's the best chicken-fried steak in Texas?

[Mark Rippetoe]

My house. Aside from that, Blue Bonnet Cafe in Marble Falls.

Micah can make a damned good chicken fried steak. This may need to be proven.

Are you in Texas?

I just don't happen to think that a "good" cfs is all that hard to come by in the Lonestar State.

There may be a handful of iconic places, but it's not difficult really to find one that's plenty good.

This is critical: a chicken fried steak is NOT deep-fried. It is pan-fried, or it is bullshit.

Just because we get into details here, how deep is the oil in your pan when you're frying these up?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Just covers the bottom of the meat, 1/2 butter and 1/2 olive oil.

How much pineapple?

[Mark Rippetoe]

Same as you have anchovies.

[John Watson]

Nice!
