Chicken Fried Steak

We were sat this evening, enjoying the special, chicken fried steak. The question was then timidly asked

"What's in it?"

We all agreed that it didn't look like chicken. A fried hamburger? We asked our waiters. They shrugged.

"Great though isn't it?"

No argument there. It tastes amazing!

"What is it exactly?"

Alton Brown, over to you.

It's cheap steak, fried, like a chicken.

"Ooh.Chicken Fried Steak, you mean?"

" Duh...."

As you were.
