    But chicken fried steak is called that because it’s fried in the style of fried chicken.

    “Chicken fried like a steak that was fried like chicken” is very needlessly redundant.

      Yeah the south is weird, it’s the whole dish combo not just the protein. I just immediately understand the name but understand why it sounds redundant/weird/dumb to someone who’s never come across it.
