Looking for Chicken Fried Steak

Wife and I are moving out of the country soon and I've compiled a list of things to eat before the move. Most of my items are easy to find but there's one I need some help on. Where is the best chicken fried steak in Chicago? This wasn't on my list but the other night I was watching Man vs. Food and they had some good looking chicken fried steak. As soon as the episode was over I put it on the list. Now, where to get it?

See previous thread
ISO fantastic chicken fried steak w/ perfect gravy...

Good Luck, please let us know how it works out!

Thanks. I will let you know.

Never quite got the whole chicken fried steak thing. Sure, I've made/enjoyed/posted, a recipe for CFS marinating the jacquarded meat in pickled jalapenos, and now add minced habanero to the cream gravy thanks to a suggestion from Trixie-Pea, but that's not traditional, spicy as all get-out and even that I have not made in a decade.

That is until I had one in Texas, cliche I know, but damn if it wasn't delicious. My bride and friends all had slightly overwrought, yet quality meat/bun burgers, simple is best noted for next time, my CFS really shined. Fries were tasty, they were selling a sh*t-ton of wings and the atmosphere was lively. Pappas Burger is the offshoot of a high-end steak house.

Damn you Gary! Why are you posting CFS in the Chicagoland thread? I love CFS and I know it's basically nonexistent in the Chicagoland area (and I don't count the breakfast versions with sausage gravy). Smart to get the gravy on the side so you can still have some of it crunchy though it's not a big deal.

I'm always looking for Texas/Oklahoma style either "chicken fried" (deep fried, heavy breading) or "country fried" (pan fried, light breading) with a milk pepper gravy (no sausage). Must be served with mashed potatoes (topped with said gravy) and either corn or green beans. My brother is moving to the Dallas area soon, so he's going to probably be making me jealous with his CFS photos. Having been born and raised on the North Shore I have no idea where my love for CFS comes from. I never had it growing up, but it's like I always had.
