Most countries have some version of a Chicken Fried Steak. In Latin America, we usually refer to it as a MILANESA. The breading may vary from place to place, some come come with sauces, some don't, some are thicker, some are thinner, bigger or smaller, made from beef or not, but in the end, they all are a chicken fried something or other.

At Papi's Place, we ran a beef MILANESA special a few months ago, and people liked it so much, we decided to put it on the menu. Then they asked us if we could do the chicken MILANESA, so we added that to the menu too. And one day we decided to try a pork steak and we loved it. It is actually our favorite. So now we have three Chicken Fried Steaks / Milanesas on our menu.

We have gained some weight trying to perfect our Chicken Fried Steaks, so we thought we would pass the torch and try to get other people's opinion. To show our appreciation in exchange for your opinion we are offering a Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon on The Houston Press "Featured Specials" section this week. You can use this coupon for any of our Chicken Fried Steaks, beef, chicken, or pork.

Passport to Spain at Central Market

Guilty! Yes, we are. We closed Papi's Place early today so we could all enjoy the opening night for Central Market's Passport to Spain event. How could we not go? Ramon Martinez, head chef at Jaleo in Washington, D.C., and a paella expert, was going to be there demonstrating his art. It was a wonderful evening. And Ramon and his right hand Angel were the best. They answered questions, shared their paella knowledge with all who asked, and cooked a variety of paellas that were one better than the other. Our favorite: the vegetarian paella! Yes, for those purists out there, this may not win your vote, but for those of us who love to experiment with food, it was a fresh perspective that won ours. Congratulations to Central Market for bringing a bit of Spain to Houston.
