How many times have you witnessed someone so enamored with their food that it actually made you jealous? If you’re from Texas, we’re guessing at least once. If the feature photo above is any indication, a love of great food can strike you at a very young age. And why not? Chicken fried steak knows you’ve had a bad day. Chicken Fried Steak knows you need comforting and zero nagging whatsoever. It also knows you’d rather sit and enjoy its company than that of the health nut at the gym your daughter recommended. This is why we can relate. Food is a fascinating topic, but none more so to a Texan than the chicken fried steak of your dreams. Here are some fine examples:

This café has a great plan – but instead of chicken and waffles, they’ve substituted a chicken fried steak. Add to that white gravy and rosemary syrup, and you’ve hit a home run out of the park!
