Best Fried Chicken

[calel]

Angel's Icehouse in Spicewood serves chicken fried bacon. Not sure if they've got gravy to go with it.

I've heard that Popeye's sells fried chicken livers, but none of the Popeye's I've gone to have them posted on their menus. Anyone know which ones do?

Snook, Texas. A map search shows me that is over near College Station.

They had Snook, Tx featured on A Texas Highways show, I think it was. There's a youtube video of it.

As to chicken fried steak, if you want decent stuff you have to make it at home in the frying pan. Easier and a lot quicker than skillet fried chicken too. And I think chicken fried steak is quite tasty -- season the flour with lots of garlic salt, black pepper and maybe a bit of red pepper. I do not make cream gravy (or any gravy) to go with it, however, which makes it less fattening and doesn't drown the taste of the chicken fried steak itself. Oh one other tip, though I don't always do this: if you separate the yolks and egg whites and then beat the whites with a wire wisk, mixing in the yolks after beating the whites, you get a frothy egg batter that gives you a lighter, fluffier coating on the cube steak (the order is: dredge steak in seasoned flour; dip in egg batter; dredge again in seasoned flour; place in well heated skillet containing a modest amount of veg oil; watch like a hawk, turning by intuition).

Does anyone have any recommendations? The closer to West Campus the better, but I'd be willing to drive a fair bit if the chicken is good.

Bill Miller BBQ has fried chicken. I've never ordered it but I see people ordering it all the time.

Elitists and pretentious snobs hate perfectly good companies simply because of their prevalence or success. For them a restaurant is only good if owner run by another pretentious snob.

I lived in Italy for several months for the army but still think Olive Garden is better than anything I ate in Italy. I found the "real" Italian food too oily, bland, and lacking pizazz. You like what you like, who cares what people say.

This.

Especially about the Italian food. The very first thing I had when I landed at O'Hare after a two-week trip to Rome and Florence was a Chicago-style pizza and a Dr Pepper.

Bill Miller is very good and cheap, the strips are good too. Sometimes, they have a 2-piece special (any piece dark or white) with fries/roll and tea for like $2.99.

I don't know about Italy but Chicago, NYC, Philly, DC, etc all have awesome Italian that is much better than the Olive Garden. I've heard great things about the food in Venice, Italy too. However, I don't think that the Olive Garden is bad for a chain restaurant. Now Carrabbas and Macaroni Grill on the other hand

Served with gravy made from the pan drippings...that's the southern way of cooking fried chicken. It may be something best made at home.
