Bigger Than His Head?

Robb Walsh
Really, it's not that much bigger.
New York food writer Francis Lam, aka the Chopstick Senator, was in town again recently. Turns out he had never had a proper chicken-fried steak before. (He thought they were made out of hamburger.) So I took him to Kelley's Country Cookin' for a grand slam breakfast.

Francis was a little wary at first. His momma told him "never eat anything bigger than your head." I kept raving about what a damn fine CFS it was, so he had to try it. Then he had seconds and then he had thirds. -- Robb Walsh
