Description
“I’ll Have the Chicken Fried Steak” debunks the enduring myth that
Texas’ beloved comfort food originated in 1911 at a Lamesa, Texas café
called Ethel’s Home Cooking. Actually, Austin American-Statesman
reporter Larry BeSaw cooked up the tall tale in 1976. What BeSaw and
two journalistic co-conspirators didn’t count on was that a well-known
syndicated columnist would pilfer the story without attribution. Worse,
he told it for truth. That inspired countless retellings.
This book exposes this literary rustling and goes on to tell the real
story behind a beloved Lone Star State icon. Beyond that, “I’ll Have
the Chicken Fried Steak” offers a hardy serving of laughs, CFS-related
tales and great recipes.
