SAN ANTONIO – Today is National Chicken Fried Steak Day, which ranks as one of the best comfort foods there is.

The dish started here in Texas in the 1800s and is a cousin of the German favorite, schnitzel.

Obviously, San Antonio is loaded with places that make it, but few have an 88-year relationship with San Antonio like the iconic Tip Top Cafe.

By the way, Tip Top offers a chicken fried steak happy hour every Tuesday from 4 to 7, where you can get a giant chicken fried steak, green beans, mashed potatoes and a roll for about 10 bucks.

Enjoy! And save room for the pie.
