Chicken-Fried Steak
Jack Allen's Kitchen
JAK’s fancified, deeply satisfying version of the Southern classic improves on the cheap cuts of meat you’re used to with their massive slab of New York strip. The green chile gravy topper is the pièce de résistance. Looking for something marginally lighter? Chicken-fried chicken breast and pork chop are options, too.
