Wait...where are you getting this "white gravy on potatoes" stuff? It's beige, like turkey gravy!
Rule of thumb: If it's red it's a sauce (except for Hollandaise, that's a sauce too)
If it's brown or beige, it's gravy.

Hmmmmm. Well, I have heard it called white sauce, yes, but here in NC, what I grew up hearing was chicken gravy, brown gravy and red-eye gravy. Then there was also giblet gravy.
In other parts of the country, I have never heard anyone say "chicken gravy" so I think that is very regional to western NC.
I have never fried steak - even my salisbury steak and cubed steak are not crispy fried - they are seared and then cooked for several hours on very low heat to get really tender (and make a "self" gravy - add some water and spices). I know people who deep fry their cubed steak - so it is very crispy. I had no idea this was called "chicken fried steak" until I moved to the Midwest. I was quite puzzled when I first heard that term - and then people said - well that is a Southern term! I thought - HUH? Never heard it before. That was served (in the Midwest) w/ what I would call a white sauce or white gravy.
The gravy I was taught to make uses flour and pan drippings and water and for white gravy - more milk than water.
Red Eye gravy is made w/ water and a dash of coffee (when one cooks Cured Ham).
But again - this may be very regional to western NC.

I can't remember where I was but I ordered something that came with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. It came with white gravy!! It had pepper in it so it wasn't totally white, but it sure wasn't a meat gravy but it was almost the same color as the potatoes. I'll try to remember where, I think we were out of town but still in NC.
BTW, I gave the mashes potatoes and gravy to DH and he ate it right up.
What the heck is Chicken Friend Chicken. I know what it is, but why not just called it fried chicken?
I ask because this is what I get at Rock Bottom Brewery. I always found it funny on the menu
See - they said that "chicken fried chicken" and "chicken fried steak" thing in Kansas City! I was like - HUH?????? To me - its fried chicken and fried steak.
I bet Rock Bottom Brewery is owned by a corporation out of the midwest. I am gonna check!!!!! Chicken fried chicken and chicken fried steak are just odd terms to me!!!!!

YES!!! We have had the "white gravy" too - but it was made from sausage pan drippings!!!! Yes, SAUSAGE!!!! And put over mashed potatoes.
ETA - and I am talking about Jimmy Dean type sausage, not Italian sausage. I mean - those crispy round things - sausage patties.
Rock Bottom Brewery - looks to me - their corporate headquarters is in Louisville, Colorado!!! Maybe they all say "chicken fried steak" and "chicken fried chicken" out there, LOL!!!!
BTW for those that don't yet know this website is fake!!!!!!
