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.

  • I butterflied a filet, smoked it for an hour, pounded it to ~1/4” and then chicken fried it. Sweet baby Jesus it was good

    Let’s get this back on track … Double mashed potatoes and milk gravy without any “medley” of inappropriate vegetables. Richter’s Antler Cafe in Spring Branch.

    Junior and I ventured over to the Ozarks east of Tahlequah for some smallmouth bass fishing. This unseasonably cool weather unfortunately turned the fish off and we only caught a couple of small fish.

Friendly reminder … 26 October is National Chicken Fried Steak Day.  Go forth, gorge, and post pics.  Peppered milk gravy sweats for all!

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?

Kid’s meal? 😉.  J/K, I’ve gotten a smaller one for lunch before.  In the spirit of the thread, this is when I got the small at Mary’s because I had eaten breakfast like 1.5 hours before.  Poor planning on my part.

Chicken fried steak is my go-to Jim's breakfast.

I gotta do that some day.  When I'm at a diner, I'm seemingly hard-wired to order two eggs over easy, a double order of bacon, hash browns, toast (white, not wheat you communists) and bottomless coffee, black.

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

You can get all that and the CFS. Just sayin'.

Oh, and the CFS breakfast comes with all that except the bacon.

I've worked across the street from a Jim's for a few months now. I have yet to stop by. 

What the fuck is wrong with me?

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.

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 what Jims you are by, but I grew up in oak hill with the one at the Y. Was the (only) place to be 3am in the 90s back then lol.

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.

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.

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:

Best guess was a traditional hollandaise sauce with some chili powder. It was delicious.

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.

Friendly reminder to procure your CFS ingredients for Texas Independence Day tomorrow.

Happy Independence Day! That’s kind of a coincidence. Yesterday was Ohio’s 220th birthday. 

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!

Little light on the gravy, but I would just ask for a side of gravy and smash that.

  • 1 month later...

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.

Hopefully you don’t have to see your cardiologist for a bit after that spread. Would.

That's how it's done. The CFS should be bigger than the plate on which it is served.

Mrs. Brat had the fancy queso & chips. Plus a few bites of the cfs. 
We took about half of all that home for lunch on Saturday.

RIP mashed potatoes. 

 

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

My God. I could be full and I’d still inhale Jim’s CFS and eggs. 

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.

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.

did you order popcorn?

That is Moonshine’s equivalent to free chips & salsa. 
We ate about half of it, and the waiter gave us a full sack to take home with the leftovers.

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.

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.
