I've never had chicken fried steak either, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around that concept. Why would you want to fry a perfectly good steak? I'm guessing it's the kind of steak they use for steak and cheese subs?
Anyway, it reminded me of the (caesarean) birth of my first child. My husband, who had worked in restaurants all his life, very sweetly decided to make me a steak dinner. Hooray, right?
NOT!! What he served me was a very nice, very expensive steak that he cooked in the MICROWAVE!!! Obviously, it was totally gross.
That was contemporaneous (hahaha) with my mother coming to visit and help us out. By way of "helping," she rearranging my kitchen drawers and cabinets! Because who wouldn't want to painfully and gingerly walk down a flight of stairs only to not be able to find where anything is in their own kitchen?
By the time my second child was due, I realized I had to lay down some rules. Needless to say, they included limited visits from grandma (she's a lovely person, but was never very maternal or good in the kitchen, so I tend to think she was more than okay by being relieved from the duty), and no food that wasn't prepared by someone who knows what they're doing.

CFS is typically a round steak which has been tenderized, battered, fried in oil in an iron skillet. Then you take out the steaks and use the grease and some milk to make white gravy.
I don't know how to explain why....all I know is we ate it once a week growing up. If I'm out of state too long, when I get back I must have ASAP: some good Texmex food, a decent brisket sandwich or a huge CFS (extra gravy).
Today it was bbq at Corkscrew BBQ while seeing a buddy out in Spring
