Is frying the thing they do in Texas, or is is something typical for Fort Worth? I remember a business trip to San Antonio where we had very fine fresh food, of the non-fried type.

Some parts of Texas are more civilized than others.

You'll not catch me bagging on about Fort Worth but it doesn't have much of a gastronomical experience outside of Tex-Mex and fried.... besides, if you're in FTW, you're usually not there for the food. I'm still sad that we missed the rodeo.

must be a Fort Worth thang... cause I don't remember this in Austin, Corpus, Houston, El Passo, Victoria, Beaumount, etc.

Gin...you mean to say you never had a chicken-fried steak at Threadgill's...?

To all that find pain in fried things, accompany said grub with Yogurt.

I tore up a largeish plate of nachos from Ale House. The appetizer for fifteen whereupon the queso is merely burnt cheddar. I couldn't eat solid food for the next three days, such was the indegestion.

My good friend Mahesh says, "Eat yogurt. We deal with curry all the time, and that shit will make sad remnants of what before could have been a perfectly good digestive system."

Dude was right. Took his perscription that night and the following day my innards were no longer ablaze.

haywaitaminute! Isn't "fried sushi" just fish sticks?

you know, I never thought of that! You might be right!

We got the kid to eat fried catfish for the first time.... it's the only thing she's asked to eat again before we leave. I have created a monster.

Stop talking about catfish and sushi. I once ate catfish in Thailand that was so fresh, it still moved when I poked it on my plate. This is not a joke.
