"Nothing else says, “Yeah, we can feed, like, a whole lot of people,” than a menu item described as the size of a saddle blanket. At Hickory Hollow, a southern barbecue restaurant in North Houston, such an item exists. While you can order this king-size-mattress masquerading as a chicken fried steak, splitting it with a couple of barbecue plates of smoky ribs and macaroni and cheese also works. Unless you’re trying to get a world record in chicken-fried steak consumption (something you could probably do here), call ahead to reserve Hickory Hollow’s wood-paneled upstairs party room for extra large groups." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
