WESTLAKE, Ohio -- TravelCenters of America LLC, operator of Petro Stopping Centers branded travel centers, will offer chicken fried steak in its Petro Iron Skillet Restaurants across the country for $5.99 on October 26 in honor of Texas Chicken Fried Steak Day.
The Texas legislature proclaimed the day in 2011 in honor of "that exceptional dish that elevates the hearty flavor of beef to new heights by coating it in batter and breading and frying it until the ingredients are melded in a blissful union."
"Petro and the Iron Skillet were born in El Paso, Texas, in 1975, and we want to honor our Texas heritage," said John Ponczoch, senior vice president of restaurant operations. "For more than 35 years, we have been proud to serve the very best hand-cut, hand-breaded chicken fried steak and want to be sure folks across America have the opportunity to taste this Texas tradition."
From 6:00 a.m. through 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 26, 2014, participating Petro Iron Skillet Restaurants will offer dine-in guests their choice of a chicken fried steak breakfast or dinner for just $5.99.
The breakfast chicken fried steak meal is served with two eggs cooked any style, toast or biscuits, and the choice of home fries, hash browns or grits. The dinner option comes with the Iron Skillet's mashed potatoes and gravy.
