Chicken Fried Steak
Now it’s time for something we don’t cook often at home; but love to eat when we go out - chicken fried steak. Now for the educational portion of the update: we have done this special once or twice and called it Country Fried Steak. One of our customers was kind enough to tell us that with the white gravy, it is actually “chicken fried” instead of “country fried”. Turns out, Google agrees; there are some breading and cooking variations between Chicken Fried Steak and Country Fried Steak; but the biggest visual difference is white gravy (on chicken fried steak) and brown gravy (on country fried steak). I like nearly all gravy, but our dish at 5B’s has the thicker breading and the white gravy of chicken fried. How about that for a little extra credit for our weekly post?
As a restaurant that serves barbeque, we should also spend a little time and effort on good southern cooking from time to time. This special is just that; a half pound portion of chicken fried steak, and it will be served with our mashed potatoes, green beans, and white gravy. To really make it a bonafide Southern special, we will also be serving this one with a biscuit. Yep - my mouth is watering just writing about it.
We will be serving this special as a gorgeous plate for a price of $18. We hope to see you on Monday, June 8, for our Monday special or one of our other barbeque favorites. We will be open from 11am - 9pm as usual. (But the special won’t be available until 5pm.)
