Best chicken fried steak I've ever had is in a place in Zapata, TX
Lulu's
I only wish the portions were a little bigger though...
On the bright side it does leave you with room for a cinnamon bun...
Live in Pa - wife ordered "Country Fried Steak" at a restaurant the other day; came with BROWN GRAVY on it! - AND it was miserably horrible beyond that.
Damn I miss Texas.
The other staples: I cook good Tex-Mex, can smoke a of a brisket; CFS I have not mastered.
5 lbs of dough.Lulu's

I wouldn't think PA would have good CFS.....try to make it yourself.
CosmicCowboy's house. LuLu's CFS is gross.
Pound out your steak to 1/4 thick.
dip in whipped egg that has been seasoned with fajita seasoning and has had enough tabasco added to be "bright pink"
flip on both sides twice in self rising flour.
Fry in a cast iron skillet with 3/4" of hot oil. I use peanut oil.
Drain well on paper towels.
Pour out all oil except a couple tablespoons leaving all the "crumblies" (fond) in the pan.
Add about 3 tbsp flour. stir in the oil till flour turns dark tan/brown. Then stir in milk to make gravy.
Season with coarse ground pepper and a little salt.
YUM!
When I first moved here I thought Alamo Cafe had the best CFS, but it's not the same anymore. I have not tried any of those other places yet.
I can cook a decent CFS myself----but it's not so good that it is worth the work + clean up.
Also I can't do CFS with mashed potatoes, I have to have french fries or just forget it.
Country fried steak = brown gravy, chicken fried steak = white gravy.
Having tried all three, I'd have to give quality to Tip-Top.
I'd have to give quan y to Lulu's. I've only bested that plate behemoth one time.
Might have to give this a go.
I'll be sure to pound the meat.
make sure you use self rising flour. It really does make a difference. The crust is light and flaky, not heavy and bready. I would SO kick Lulu's fat ass in a chicken fried steak throw down.
that's ing weird
I just ate a chicken fried steak 5 minutes ago.
wasn't as tasty as the cabrito i had yesterday though
What about Bobby Flay? Could you throwdown against him?

yeah...heck...I'll even throw down with him on BBQ or grilling. I ain't skeered.What about Bobby Flay? Could you throwdown against him?
There's a small place in Boerne called Hungry Horse that's really good. But in San Antonio I have to go with Alamo Cafe or Red Barn.
I have been in Little Red Barn's kitchen and you couldn't pay me to eat at that place. He must bribe the safety inspectors because that's the nastiest kitchen I have ever been in. I'm talking piles of mummified food between the walls and the counters that haven't been cleaned in years, everywhere, and roaches/rat all over the place. Yuck!
I wasn't that impressed with LuLu's CFS...but I haven't tried the other two places either. The Scenic Loop Cafe makes a pretty darn good one.
dude...what the ...dude. Are you serious?!
Don't tell me Alamo Cafe is ed up too?
didn't we just do this thread a while back?Who do you think has the best chicken fried steak in San Antonio or wherever?
Tip Top, Lulu's, Good Time Charlie's?
Tip Top: solid
GTC: ok
Lulu's: good, but overrated, imo.
my favorite: Alamo Cafe. They give you a piping hot thick cut with little to no gristle (which is my CFS pet peeve), the batter is crisp, and the gravy is consistent. The green beans they serve on the side are awesome as well.
It's underrated I guess because the Mexican food they serve is so crappy.
Alamo Cafe has good CFS? Go figure.
