Some Things Shouldn't be Fried

For those of you out of the know, George’s is home to Waco’s #1 Chicken Fried Steak, a Texas delicacy I managed to avoid till yesterday. It’s the lowest quality steak you can find ground up and turned into a patty of sorts. The patty is then breaded and fried in a vat of grease. Before eating, you are supposed to dowse your steak in a ‘white gravy’ comprised of lard, flour and a hint of pepper.

I wasn’t ready for it.

After five bites I threw in the towel, asking the waitress if she could bring me bottled water. She looked as if I’d pimp-slapped her grandmother. She went so far as to say, “I don’t think we have that here.”

Sally reluctantly found a water and several hours later, my arteries unclogged.

Skip the Chicken Fried Steak and go with the ‘Crazy Wings’. Chicken, wrapped in bacon, stuffed with cheese, jalapenos, and some other stuff. Those received two thumbs up.

P.S.

I know I’m a little tardy, but it’s still worth noting, Thursdays aren’t the same without softball. Watching the ‘Werebears’ gambol around the field never ceases to amaze. Many of my naïve cohorts misconstrued our ‘bye’ as a win but sadly such is not the case.

We are well rested and expecting big things next game. 2Q’s be scared.
