October 21, 20223 yr That’s a fucking Hallmark card right there.I went by Walgreens and they had all kinds of event cards like l’m sorry you got shitcanned and to a wonderful MILF mother-in-law, but fucking nothing for CFS day.
October 26, 20223 yr Popular Post Friendly reminder … 26 October is National Chicken Fried Steak Day. Go forth, gorge, and post pics. Peppered milk gravy sweats for all! Amen brother. Celebrating at Jim's.

October 26, 20223 yr This thread simultaneously gives me an erection and heart attack, which works out because that is my fetish. Jalapeño gravy sounds like something I would like to take a bath in. Best CFS in Houston? Best in NW Houston?

I probably need to go get one of those heart scans.

The only option is biscuit over toast if the place is known for really good biscuits.

They have really good breakfast tacos too you can get to go, used to be a great deal back in the day for two of them. No idea what it costs now.

Oh - we have that covered. There's a spot close by that does some of the best breakfast tacos in Austin. Not going to say where because I don't want some weirdo cross-referencing the location.

I don't know how old you are or how long you've been in the area, but the spot used to be bubbas way back in the day, up 71 next to where the backyard used to be. Torn down to build a outdoor mall that I have still never set foot in out of principal lol.

October 27, 20223 yr You get all this and the CFS for the full TEXAS version of the full English breakfast imo. The only option is biscuit over toast if the place is known for really good biscuits. My rule of thumb is get the best bread they have. Biscuits often disappoint. So it’s also ok to get pancakes, or flour tortillas m, or cinnamon roll French toast. I don’t understand Mac n cheese with CFS and mashed taters. Maybe it’s because I don’t usually like Mac n cheese.
October 31, 20223 yr Forgot to post my Cheever’s CFS photo from day after OU-Kansas State night game loss. The CFS Benedict and delicious Bloody Maria helped to ease my pissed off-ishness the next morning. Cheever’s OKC:

November 23, 20223 yr In the area for Thanksgiving and wanted CFS. Was going to go to Gruene but my mom, who lives in Kyle wanted to go and didn't want to go that far. We went to Hays City Store, and it was pretty darn good.
March 1, 20232 yr Friendly reminder to procure your CFS ingredients for Texas Independence Day tomorrow.
March 2, 20232 yr Happy Independence Day! That’s kind of a coincidence. Yesterday was Ohio’s 220th birthday.
March 3, 20232 yr There are months between posts in this thread (and I'm partially responsible for a weak CFS game). But can you imagine this thread had we had Surly in the 70s and 80s? Updates every 20 minutes!

April 13, 20232 yr I always ask for the gravy on the side - gotta keep my cardiologist happy. Went to Moonshine Grill at Avery Ranch this afternoon… Pretty good, about a 7.5/10. Edited April 13, 20232 yr by Armybrat

April 14, 20232 yr Those were really good too, what with some of the grease soaked in with bits of the crust.

April 14, 20232 yr Hickory Hollow in Houston would never be misunderstood as a good restaurant, but I miss their hubcap, or was it wagon wheel (?) CFS. Fried okra, green beans, a couple Lone Stars and you’d get out of there alright for under $25. I polished a few off by myself, but I usually split it with my wife. Not bad for two broke kids trying to make it in the big city.
April 14, 20232 yr I always ask for the gravy on the side - gotta keep my cardiologist happy. Went to Moonshine Grill at Avery Ranch this afternoon… Pretty good, about a 7.5/10.That gravy is a) too thick. Gravy should never be able to retain elevation on top. It should be pourable. b) that’s a funky ass portion. I like it on the side as it retains crunch.

I like it on the side as it retains crunch. Yes it is, but it’s easier to dip into without making a dribbling mess. The portion is about right for us, and we took some home where Mrs. Brat will add milk & pepper before reheating. We really do not eat large quantities at meals. We’ll split the leftover cfs & spuds for lunch tomorrow. Back in the day I would’ve eaten the whole thing at one sitting, her fancy queso & chips, all the popcorn and both drinks. That’s why I have a cardiologist today. Edited April 14, 20232 yr by Armybrat
April 17, 20232 yr Didn't grab any pictures at the first stop, but had a couple of CFS experiences this weekend. First at Trail Boss Steak and Grill in Bandera. I had the pork schnitzel, but my wife got the CFS. The pork schnitzel was VERY good, and I tried my wife's CFS and it was also very good, though it didn't have that traditional crust. Next day we went over to Antler Cafe in Spring Branch or wherever you want to call it, and we both went for the CFS. The waitress asked if I wanted brown gravy on my potatoes. Seemed kinda wild for going along with a traditional CFS white gravy, but you live but once.... I thought it was really good, and a more traditional CFS crust. My wife liked it, but preferred the one at Trail Boss. Antler Cafe: Edited April 17, 20232 yr by UncleBuck
