What does SEC Country call this dish?

Bonus: White gravy or brown gravy with the fried steak?



South Louisiana calls it chicken fried steak, and you can find it with either brown or white gravy.

Growing up in New Orleans the first 20 years of my life, I never saw it. I eat it now, but only with brown gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans. I find white gravy to be nasty, flavorless, watery paste.

White gravy chicken
Brown gravy country

That said, I like white gravy and call it country.

Fight me.

I have never been a big fan of country fried steak but chicken fried chicken with the white pepper gravy, a side of macaroni and cheese, and creamed corn from Mary Mac's Tea Room in downtown Atlanta, with an appetizer of Pot Likker and Cracklin' Corn Bread, is something I recommend to anyone who asks my opinion about where to eat in Atlanta proper. They'll bring you buttermilk too, if you want to dip your cornbread in and out between the buttermilk and the pot likker.

It's country fried. Brown gravy preferred for me.

But, it's inferior overall to a perfectly done, thick country fried pork chop where no gravy is needed.

Country fried steak is battered and fried steak which is slow cooked after frying in brown gravy, or pan gravy. Chicken fried is cooked and the gravy is poured on top and should be milk gravy (white) unless you are a cretin and your mama didn't love you. Personally I do not see any logic in choosing one over the other...they are both key ingredients to a happy life, why choose? Life is nothing if not stressful...having to choose between 2 of life's greatest pleasures that can take place with your britches on is illogical...


Gotta give Texas some credit...they know bupkus about BBQ but a man can find a damn fine chicken fried steak at a dairy queen (known as a Texas Stop Sign for those unitiated in such things) in Texas. And, having an abundance of cows about the place and no idea what to do with them (thus the entire brisket infatuation) they will take a rib-eye, which would make a grown man in New York or Paris cry it is so beautiful, batter that fricker up and chicken fry it...there is much to be said for rednecks with oil money and chicken fried rib-eye is right at the top of positives.
