Restaurant of the day

Is anyone else puzzled about the comments under the picture?

 "The steak is unique because it is made not from beef, but from a pork cutlet."

It seems to me that what's unique is calling it chicken-fried steak when it's obviously a breaded pork cutlet.  To me, that just makes it an erroneous description and not a unique item.  I bet our Jewish and Muslim friends wouldn't classify it as unique.  They'd classify it as false presentation.

Perhaps it's really a boneless pork steak.

isn't 'chicken fried' a particular preparation?  something more and/or different than 'breaded'?

seems to me that the description fits and is accurate...

it's chicken-fried steak.  a pork steak, not a beef steak.

i don't care what you call--IT"S GOOD! Come on down to Oklahoma and taste that puppy and you wont car what they call it either!

If you didn't eat pork for some reason, you'd care a LOT what it's called.  What we don't know without a picture of the menu (there may well be one in the actual review, I haven't looked at it) is whether it says "chicken-fried steak" or "chicken-fried pork steak".

Chicken-fried is a preparation method, as opposed to simply being breaded, but it's hard to tell from the picture if that's actually chicken-fried or not.  Either way, you'd think somewhere someone would mention it's pork rather than beef.  And I agree...that does not make it "unique" at all.  I would be cross if I thought I ordered chicken-fried steak and got a pork cutlet, because I detest pork cutlets no matter how they're cooked.

Edit:
Just looked at the actual review, and the closeup shot tells me it is chicken-fried.  However, there is no actual menu.

Thirty seconds of Google research reveals this:
 
$6.99
Chicken Fried Steak
beef or pork cutlet breaded and fried with your choice of white or brown gravy and 2 sides (pork is best)
 
Much ado about nothing, right?
 
For you lazy ones, here's the link.

I wouldn't say lazy, I would say "have better things to do".   Thanks for looking it up.

If you look under the breakfast items, which this is, it says no such thing.  As a matter of fact, two of the choices are "steak" and "pork chop".
