Or, as the early 90s cafeteria staff called it… “Fries all the way”.
I just read a Houston Press Eating our Words blog post about the Tex-Cajun poutine at BB’s in Montrose. I haven’t had a chance to get over there for some food, but it’s on my list of places I want to go sometime soon. This dish reminded me again of the indomitable SUB cafeteria favorite from high school, the “all the way”.
You could get this as Chicken Fried “Steak”, burrito or fries. As you might assume, it consisted of a bed of french fries, with the entree of choice on top, open face if the steak. Cover that in a handful of school issue orange cheese & thoroughly drench in what was probably a mix of enchilada & brown gravies.
Now, I’m sure that the school & their nutritional guidelines/regulations have rendered it an ancient being. Especially since I know my brother who graduated 3-4 years ago had no idea what it was.
Those students from Alvin High around the early 90s would recall this interesting culinary science experiment.
