It's Texas Chicken Fried Steak Day!

It's official, as ordered by the Texas legislature.

Members of the Texas House of Representatives have seemingly had a hard time getting the states fiscal house in order, but during the last legislative session they did take time to designate a new holiday.

Today, October 26 is officially “Chicken Fried Steak Day” in the state of Texas.

House Resolution 1419, sponsored by state Rep. Ralph Sheffield of Temple, made it official.

Sounds good, but too far for lunch.

Rather have a person fry mine.

Support Texas chicken fryers.

The picture above is NOT Texas CFS - mid - west breaded beef.......and they also do not know what Bar-B Q is (roasted pork). Vomit.

That's how chicken fried steak originated in Texas. On the back of a chuck wagon and the cook trying to figure out a way to serve a less tender portion of beef. He beat it to a pulp and then breaded and fried it.

Breading is not used

salt/pepper/light flower.........actually a Texas German recipe

and wonderful ....that mass of breading is not part of the recipe.

Excuse me. Breading IS used. That's why it's called CHICKEN FRIED steak. It's same breading as used on friend chicken.

If you just dredge it in flour it's country fried steak.

Breading - NOT. You from KC ??

No, I'm from Texas.
