I’m not sure $25 will cover it. A bacon cheeseburger is $18 here.
A Dave's Double Combo from Wendy's is about the same price (Guess that's why I try to avoid Fast Food) as the Meat & 3 at the diner.

POPEYE'S is my favorite fried chicken. When I want some huge steroid chicken pieces I go to CHURCH'S.Making me want to go to Church's Chicken.
They have a buffet near me.. with ONE table of food.Yeah $25 sounds about right at most diners here and in NJ for that. Maybe closer to $30 at some of the better NJ diners. Problem with the south though is that all good brunch places are closed on Sundays which is usually when I'd go get it... The south also has Cookout though, which I'd KILL for to have here. Where I live our fast food options are boring, McDs, Burger King, Wendys, KFC etc. Cookout is the ****, the amount of fresh grilled food you get for the money is insane. Bojangles is also good for biscuits, but Chick Fil A is overrated but better than McDs and Wendys.
It probably implies the chicken wasn't a fillet but just a grounded chicken patty.Definitely had and made chicken fried steak. Really good with gravy, for breakfast - tasty.
But chicken fried chicken, that is fried chicken fried. Cept no bones. I suppose.
Greens I think are the only thing that keeps southern folks alive. I LOVE collards. One garden I had two areas nothing but collards. Don't have to be cooked in fat.
Tough greens like collards, mustard and kale need that fat and salt to be nice and tender. I’ve haven’t attempted making chicken fried steak - but I should one day.Greens I think are the only thing that keeps southern folks alive. I LOVE collards.

As for chicken fried, I bought half an organic beef. I had ALL the round steak made "cubed" (which means tenderized in these parts.) HOLY GROTTO does that make good chicken fried steak.......so yeah I don't eat 'em all with gravy.......sometimes unbreaded....sometimes with mexi spices.........otherwise I am NOT a fan of round steak.
Fudge dude, I’m next to a church’s.Going to KFC tonight in honor of this thread.
It is Goood stuff.Chicken fried chicken?
Hahhahahahahahahaha
Is that like double redundant.
I think I prefer Bojangles if we are talking fast food chicken.POPEYE'S is my favorite fried chicken. When I want some huge steroid chicken pieces I go to CHURCH'S.
Be careful - you compare the batter used on CFS to fried chicken - a thick/thin debate might eruptDefinitely had and made chicken fried steak. Really good with gravy, for breakfast - tasty.

The basic difference is the minimum wage, lots of places in the South are still at the federal minimum wage of $7.25. My state is $14.25 and you won't find a meal that cheap here either. I think in some locations, the minimum wage is even higher than $14-$15/hour. I think there's also a few cities like Seattle where minimum wage is $17.27 and a few cities in California that are over $17.More like $35 here.
a grounded chicken patty
am i the only one who finds none of this appealing?
make my extra special, once a month, lunchtime treat a reuben on rye, coleslaw, pickle on side with no cost/calory water with a lemon slice. generally i packed a lunch from home (sandwich, yogurt, fruit), coffee in a thermos, and dropped an extra $5-10/day into savings bonds or a private annuity for 30 years.

I don't find the savings bond or private annuity appealing. That's more like a bunt. If you're going to swing, swing for the fences by picking stocks or play it safer and at least go for a single with stock mutual funds. I looked at bond funds and pretty much none of them outperform stock funds over the long term including down years in the market.am i the only one who finds none of this appealing?

It is really an occasional comfort food and not an everyday meal. I like fried calamari and chicken but I wouldn't eat it more than once every 2 weeks either, and normally I would probably eat scramble eggs with rice and green beans daily instead of the fried stuff instead. Now the thermos coffee.... I would rather bring my coffee grind and a french press to work and add hot water there instead. Coffee tastes stale after 1 hour in a thermo even when brewed at work.am i the only one who finds none of this appealing?
