I really have to agree with you on your comment about the Upstate being a real melting pot. I could not believe when I moved here from Chicago the diversity of restaurants to choose from in the Greenville area. I was blown away and VERY pleasantly surprised.
what is a chicken fried steak ? and how do you make it ?
It is cubed steak dipped in batter, fried and covered in white gravy. I like it with mashed potatoes or fries. Do not eat it very often, though, because it isn't very good for you.
If you're ever in Columbia, Yesterdays has the best chicken fried steak.

I am not familiar with chicken fried steak. What you described sounds a lot like country fried steak to me. What is the difference?

There's no difference, it's the same thing, but the only place I've had it calls it "chicken fried steak". I probably should have called it by its more common term.

I've had Scapple several times while growing up. My mother was from Philadelphia and my father from Boston loved spicy foods. We'd have it for brunch on wintery days with pancakes. It was good! It was kind of like compressed hash and sausage in a bar that you'd cut slices from and then saute or broil.

In the midwest hashbrowns are not usually prefered, they are fried too dark often and well yucky...we prefer homefries..they're more moist and if done properly not 1/2 as greasy as hashbrowns. But if I had my choice? And I of course can't find them here, I'd have potato cakes.
I prefer the food in my area of the Midwest, because it was mainly European based.
When all the immigrants came to the NE and Midwest to work in the steel factories, auto factories, trucking companys, and mostly the rubber companies, they brought with them, the most delicious food one could ever hope for. They were and are fabulous cooks. I'll never be able to cook the way they could, and man do I miss their little hometown restaurants....badly.
Those women in the kitchen couldn't speak a lick of English and everything and I mean everything was made from scratch.
I also lived 20 miles away from the largest Amish community in the entire world. Amish..real Amish, not Mennonite. Talk about good food...simply some of the best.
My husband was born and raised in Charlotte, but moved to the midwest when he was 28 and stayed until his death at 49. He absoultely went nuts for the food.
