Alright. That’s it. I’ve had enough.
Over the past six months, I’ve cooked, braised, and slow-roasted a variety of dishes from The Oklahoma Celebrity Cookbook, with most of them coming in at so-so or below par.
But this recipe—this one recipe—Argus Hamilton’s Honeymoon Chicken Fried Steak, is by far the worst. The bottom of the barrel. The pits.
I mean, come on, it’s chicken fried steak—it’s practically part of the Oklahoma food pyramid! How could I possibly screw this up so badly? Right?
Usually, I take the blame and make myself the punching bag, but this time, I finally realized that The Oklahoma Celebrity Cookbook is truly from the depraved depths of Okie Hell.
Sure, it's been nice to learn about people I never knew existed—I'll never forget you and your stew, Ms. Candice Early—but from the terrible instructions to canned meals to the disappointing figureheads, I think I’m done with it.
