If there's anything in this world we love and would never give up even if our lives depended on it, it's breakfast. Seriously, think about it: there is almost no meal in the world quite as dynamic and flexible as breakfast. Bacon and eggs? Done. Steak and eggs? Great. Bacon and sausage and potatoes? Check! Chicken fried steak? Heck yes. There are numerous amazing places to get breakfast in Indiana, but only one of them is home to the best chicken fried steak in Indiana.
There's a reason (or 10) why Charlie Brown's Pancake and Steak House has the cult following it has.
