Today we went to eat at a neighbohood catfish restaurant. The menu had changed since the last time we dined there, and I couldn’t help but notice a new addition to the appetizer choices.

Take a look at this heart-attack-on-a-platter…any guesses as to what it might be?

The very idea of this item being chicken-fried and served was so alien to me, but we were game and gave it a try…

And now I guess I can say that I have tried just about every crazy dish imaginable, but I won’t ever be able to call chicken fried bacon a favorite. 8?

After the first bite my arteries informed me that they would revolt if I ever tried suffocating them with such a grease-laden dish again.

Doesn’t the very idea of “chicken fried bacon” kind of give you the heebie-jeebies? Have you ever heard of such a thing?! Or should this be filed under “Only in Texas”?
