    I still don’t understand why people pour gravy or sauce over fried meat. Doesn’t it get soggy?

      It like cereal, the longer it rests the mushier it gets.

      It sort of does but it’s not really crispness you’re going for in a chicken fried steak (or chicken). It’s just downright hearty and rich and so dang good. Have you had it before?

        I haven’t tried chicken fried steak yet. But when I make Schnitzel or Backhendl crispiness is key. Whether or not pouring sauce over fried meat is ok seems to be a regional issue here in the German-speaking parts of the world. There are Reddit and Lemmy communities collecting “crimes” against Schnitzel (r/schnitzelverbrechen).

      Doesn’t get too mushy if you eat in a timely fashion. There’s also enough crispiness from the underside.
