I’m gonna marry a chicken fried steak

This is a special post dedicated to Edie’s Biscuits.

I’ve never seen such cheap food and such unfailingly polite service. Everybody is “Miss Bridget” (in my case) or “Mr Carl” etc.

The 4 ft tall cute blond ponytailed waitress has been round 3 times to see if everything’s ok. She knows my life story by now.

$4.28 for a sausage and gravy biscuit, and a side of chicken fried steak. And all the free coffee I can drink.

I could’ve gotten 4 eggs, catfish, shrimp and a side of grits for $5. $5!!!! I took guidance from Mr Will Green, local trumpet player, in the queue behind me.

Aptly, or ironically, Karen Carpenter is singing ‘We’ve Only Just Begun’ over the sound system. (Say it with me Peter … Four words, first word T …)

4 mins later.

I’ve just had my first forkful of chicken fried steak, after reading about it for years and wondering, is it chicken? Is it steak? Hang on … just gotta grab another coffee …

Ok, I do not care it’s got more calories than I’ve eaten in the last 3 years, more fat than a CEO’s salary and more salt than in the Mississippi delta, this is indescribably delicious.

I’m gonna say no more because no words can do justice to chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy.

Actually I am going to say more … I just unlocked Edie’s wifi by guessing the password. First time ever! How clever is that?

Ok this is super creepy … they’re playing ‘Let it Be’.

Second breakfast of the day. 2 hours wrestling gators this afternoon should burn off the calories.
