Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank, a diner fare classic. My second CFS review in my quest to become the authority on Chicken Fried Steak in Los Angeles. Here goes:

First impression: This could be The One…The Rooster, steak is a good 6 inches.

Taste: Explosive. The white gravy was close to perfect, I say “close” because there are still many more Chicken Fried Steaks out there to be reviewed. The gravy was peppered proportionally and not too salty. The steak was juicy and tender, not too thick either. The unfair advantage at Bob’s just might be the breading, absolutely fantastic and reminiscent of KFC.

Presentation: Classic style: The Holy Trinity of Chicken Fried Steak, eggs, and hashed browns. Again, presentation is nowhere near as important as taste; nonetheless, it is extremely comforting to see the classic key players arranged together on the plate.

Overall score: 8 out of 10 with the potential to possibly move to a 10 dependent on how the rest of the chicken fried steaks out there taste. This score my change over time being that this is the second review, but I will say that this is going to be one tough steak to beat. Damn good.

I wish: I wish I could get paid to eat Bob’s Big Boy’s chicken fried steak because it was awesome.

SPOILER: This could quite possibly be The One…The Rooster…the best damn chicken fried steak in Los Angeles. I look forward to someone trying to top this.
