All of the Rancho places are great; and yes, it's some of the best pizza I've ever had. I miss the old restaurant at their house. It's coming back in a limited capacity. Robert is a great guy - been through some tough stuff in recent years. Is his new barbecue place open just down from the pizza place?
October 31, 20241 yr I have only met Robert once, seemed to be a great dude. I travel in that area pretty often and try to eat there as much as possible. They did open the bbq joint, I’ve only been once, what I had was great. Hate to hear that he’s had a rough time lately.
November 1, 20241 yr Popular Post Alright, made the CFS tonight. Cooked up a bunch of smaller ones to share with neighbors and kids over for trick-or-treating. Wife and kids got me a side of beef from a local farmer for Father's Day. It's damn near the best beef I've ever had and it was so cheap compared to buying at the store. Highly recommend if you have never done that (or even just a quarter of a cow). Decided to go with some eye of round and some skirt. Trimmed, tenderized and pounded out thin. Saved the large pieces of fat to render out the grease to make the gravy. Setup all ready. Double checking the recipe from the video posted earlier. Used a decent amount more seasoning in the flour mixture than he uses in the video. Frying the first batch. Gravy and mashed potatoes staying warm. Resting on wire rack. Color looks off here but this little bitty one was perfect. This is one of the ones plated up for our friend's kid (8yo and it was plenty for him). I was looking forward to tossing some leftovers in the airfryer in the morning, crisp up again and serve with eggs. Sadly there were no leftovers. I'd give it a 7/10 - better than anything else in Indiana, but I expected more from myself. My neighbors had never had it before and all have midwest tastebuds so they were blown away. Easy crowd to please. Halloween success. Edited November 1, 20241 yr by BlueGreySky
November 1, 20241 yr The neighbors never had chicken fried steak before, I bet they’re meeting right now to make you King of Indiana. Or, at least Cooker of Neighborhood.

November 1, 20241 yr Made some pan fried bone in chops the other night. Delicioso. I’ve posted pics of the deep fried ones before, but these were equally good… Pics pre-gravy

November 11, 20241 yr The chicken fried steak coating came out soggy not crispy. I’m perplexed. Flour egg wash flour.

Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to your egg wash. That's the key I stumbled across. Throw in a healthy dose of your favorite hot sauce while your at it.
