Best Chicken Fried Steak In Los Angeles
With its origins traced back to the southern plains of Texas, the first chicken fried steak is believed to have been introduced by German immigrants. The recipe has changed very little since its first appearance on the dinner table, and it has become a staple of southern cooking to this day. Also known as country fried steak, this culinary creation is comprised of a tenderized cut of steak that's battered, pan fried and topped with a creamy gravy. This dish is quite versatile and can be served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It can also be served as a sandwich. Fortunately, if you live in Los Angeles, you don't need a road trip to get this authentic meal in front of you. All you need to do is head to one of these five places!
